Per Magnus suggestion, I open this thread and hope to clarify what I do:

This is the real life part 4110(?)/4707 and Flash Ligth Unit:

   
   
   

Essentially, the plugs have the same shape; and here is my proposal to the plugs:

"New" shape of plug34
   

m_plug
   

4707s02
   

990b
   

As you can see, I think it's "better" with this "new" shape of plug34.

For the remaining parts (u9018, u9019, u9134 and u9146), I reworked them all (based on BL images) and the result is:"

u9018
   
u9018s01
   
u9018s02
   
u9019
   
u9134
   
u9146
   
u9146s01
   

u9018s01 is used on all the parts; u9018s02 is used in u9018, u9019 and u9134 and u9146s01 in u9146.

Part 4353.dat: according to images from internet, I think it needed to be adapted to some of the above parts.

Finaly: if these goes as I planed, there is no problem on submiting the parts.

Hey,

Willy asked kindly for a feature to align and distribute objects. It is now available (Actions... => Align and Distribute...) on standard perspectives (front, back, left, right, top, bottom). I also added Max's wish to remove superfluous parameters from line types 1-5 (with a quick fix).
And Magnus' wish to not select all, but just one place of a pasted vertex.
There is also Philo's request to snap vertices to the grid (Actions... => Snap To Grid), only usable on standard perspectives (front, back, left, right, top, bottom) and I added a hint what the grid size value actually means (it is the grid size for 1-10% zoom). Finally, I added some improvements and fixed a small negligible bug.




As always, you can download LDPE from this page:

http://nilsschmidt1337.github.io/ldparteditor/

Changelog:

(5 new features and 1 bug fix)

With this release you will be able to...

• ...align and distribute objects (isolated vertices, lines, triangles, quads and subfiles). It behaves differently if "Move Adjacent Data" is ON or OFF. ON keeps the objects connected together. OFF will seperate them. Only usable on standard perspectives (front, back, left, right, top, bottom) .
  
• ...snap vertices and subfiles to the current grid (only available on standard perspectives (front, back, left, right, top, bottom)).
  
• ...auto-remove superfluous arguments from text lines (type 1,2,3,4,5) and also add missing ones (via quick fix in the text editor).
  
• ...benefit from the fact that pasting a single vertex will not enable "Single Vertex Modification" if "Automatically disable "Move Adjacent Data" on paste (3D Editor)" is checked.
  
• ...benefit from a slightly faster 3D editor (e.g. lower latency when you add a triangle).

Currently primitives that are derived from PrimGen (or similar sources) are attributed to the author that submits them. I'd like to change it so that LDraw.org "owns" them. I have some ideas that I'll share down thread but I'd like to hear other user's ideas.

The 2023-05 LDraw Parts Update has been released. This update adds 398 new files to the core library, including 203 new parts and 13 new primitives.

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 2023-05 here, and download the zip-file update or Windows install package here.

Thank you to all the beta testers and parts authors who continue feedback for the new PT software. This project would not was it is without your help.

I would like to see a clarification of the sticker specs.
https://www.ldraw.org/article/512.html#sticker_desc

When the sticker is exactly 1 stud, or another integer, should it be written with or without an decimal?  

The example used on the page is:
Sticker  2.6 x  5.5 ...
Sticker  3.1 x  3.1 Round ...

and I think most sticker use an added zero. Like this:
Sticker  2.6 x  5.0 ...
Sticker  3.0 x  3.0 Round ...  

I have recently added a zero in the description of many stickers, but I can see that other admin reviewers are removing the added zero.

How should it be written? With or without a zero?

In relation to assembly parts (see Ostrich), should all the component parts be closed solids? While I'm sure there are examples of both in the library, Chris's standard seems to have been closed solid:
https://library.ldraw.org/tracker/24369

I agree but I'd like to have a short discussion in case anyone has strong feelings against.

Hi,

I made a quick edit in order to get this new part:


Download link is below

  3803.dat (Size: 5.38 KB / Downloads: 2)

and heres maybe a better version (but I'm not sure)

  3803_2.dat (Size: 5.3 KB / Downloads: 1)

Found a lot from: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.as...String=847

Some of these might be in the instructions app. Do you think hair pieces should be tackled in a future "
Parts we are Working on" since there are so many?

This is just hairs not helmets (double check it does not exist before making a part just encase because it's a long list)

Some are in:   http://www.digital-bricks.de/de/index.ph...ddp&mg=243 (pointed out by Rene Rechthaler mostly 2000-2015 parts)

I know you can extract part models from the official LEGO Builder mobile instructions app, but wondering if it is possible to extract a full set model. Any ideas?

I've finished submitting a new suite of parts for the earliest version of the garage door 822 (and its frame 821). This is the version without studs, and with tabs on the frame for use with slotted bricks.

The new parts are on the tracker here:
