Hey,

with this update I improved a few little things and Willy will be happy about the fact that 'helper lines' can be moved now.

Download and install the latest LDPatternCreator release directly from sourceforge.net.
Any previous version should be uninstalled first. Your program configuration will be preserved.

Change log:

New features:

• "Ungroup" colourises subparts/primitives in their chosen colour.
  
• It is now always possible to set the spline segment count when adding a spline.
  
• Helper lines and template lines can be moved.
  
• Added a shortcut to flip/rotate two selected triangles (Ctrl+F)
  
• The file's name shows up along the title in the very top bar.
  
• Added a helping tooltip for the "Triangle Auto-Completion" which explains the use of the CTRL and the cursor keys.
  
• Added a hint for "freezing the selection" when adding new objects.
  
• "2-4chrd" is added into the "Add Primitive" list
  
• "tndis" is added into the "Add Primitive" list.

hi guys,

i'm looking for the complete zip download of both official and unofficial parts,  I want as much data as possible

i've found both
complete.zip - official
ldrawunf.zip  - unofficial?

am i missing anything?


there's about 654 files within ldrawunf.zip that also exists within complete.zip,  can i merge both safely?
i'd assume the overlap are unofficial parts which require official parts?


skimming the ~300 combined stickers i can't help but feel im missing some large repo... BrickLink lists nearly ~5,000 sheets

Thread for the 2025 Creator Models

I need someone who is Discord savvy to help setup and run our Discord server. I've come to the realization that I don't have the time to properly devote to this. Us old fogies like our forums but in order to continue to attract new authors and users we need some form of realtime chat and Discord is the place right now.

What I'd like is someone with experience in setting up a public Discord server and is willing to take on day to day admin duties. We're a small community compared to most so I don't expect this to be too much work. 

If you're interested, please respond and I'll add you to the admin team forum so we can discuss further.

I came across this while trying to look for colour errors in the Fabuland Figures.

How shall complex figures be handled in the library?
Note that this is not something exclusive to a much older age, since the Duplo figures are still current. Also I am aware that many examples have not yet been done (and are unlikely to appear soon), but we do have examples already.

To explain what I mean with "complex figure", here's a (probably incomplete) list:
-in general, not meant to be disassembled; more than 5 (?) subparts
-Fabuland figures (1979-1989; including those 1986 Basic odd ones)
-Technic figures (1986-2000)
-Duplo Figures (2004-now)
-Duplo Figures (1983-2003)
-Belville, Scala etc.

Technically, these are "assemblies" yet not "true shortcuts", since they come as one single piece outside a sealed box.

A few issues here:

1. File Number - usually this should be the Element Number, but not all of the older ones are known. The xxc0y format likely shouldnt apply here
   
2. Base Colour - which to pick? This is often not that easy to determine, since some have every part coloured differently and an "official" version is not known
   
3. Assemblies not always the same - Duplo hats/Fabuland heads - should these get the same "Shortcut Link", so you see all Duplo figures listed there?
   
4. Some Fabuland figures are currently listed as "Physical Colour Shortcut" which feels wrong
   
5. A few issues with the Duplo figures seem present as well
   

Looking for the 8-wide curved 7664 windscreen from the recent City Coastguard sets (60503, 60504): https://rebrickable.com/parts/7664/winds...6-x-8-x-2/

(even some raw meshes would do. took a look through the OMR and GL's meshes thread and didn't see this one. maybe it's tucked in somewhere?)
TIA

Get this Release.

New in this release:
This release adds the colour additions and changes from LDraw Update 2026-01.

Full Changelog: 0.3...0.3.1.

LDConfig made from the one in the LDraw.org 2026-01 Parts Update.
This is a LDConfig file that includes the "Render Only" colours from Bricklink Studio.
(Without LUMINANCE values, I might change that in future updates)
To use it do the following:

1. Download it: 
     LDConfig_plus_bl_studio_colours.ldr (Size: 69.47 KB / Downloads: 5)
   
2. Move it to your LDraw folder
   
3. Rename "LDConfig.ldr" to LDConfig_default.ldr(or something else)
   
4. Rename "LDConfig_plus_bl_studio_colours.ldr" to "LDConfig.ldr"
   

The 2026-01 LDraw Parts Update has been released. This update adds 146 new files to the core library, including 89 new parts.

Thanks are due to all the part authors who created or corrected parts for this release. The small, but dedicated, band of reviewers also play an important role in keeping files moving through the Parts Tracker and deserve just as much credit. This update wouldn't have been possible without their dedication and attention to detail.

You can preview the new parts in 2026-01 here, and download the zip-file update or Windows install package here.

NOTE: If you downloaded the update prior to the posting of this announcement, there was an error with the zip files causing some files to be empty. Please redownload the update to fix this issue

Thank you to all the testers and parts authors who continue giving feedback on the PT software. This project would not be what it is without your help.

Hello,

Some users have the designation ‘Part Header Editor’. What permissions do these users have? I believe they are allowed to change the header of the parts files without having to re-upload the file. Does this permission only apply to the parts in the Parts Tracker, or are they also allowed to make changes to the header of official parts?

I have a list of 76 entries from official files where the reference to Bricklink in the file is incorrect or missing.

Can only Orion make this correction, or can another administrator or a ‘Part Header Editor’ do it, and would anyone be willing to do so?
I don't think using the Parts Tracker is a good idea, so I will refrain from doing so. This correction may not only be useful for me.
