Hi,

Sorry if I missed an announcement about this but I just noticed when uploading the 7th pattern for part 66855 that the generated thumbnail was different from the previous ones (see below).

Is it wanted? If so, will previous thumbnails also be updated?

   

Hey,

thanks to Willy's feedback, this release fixes a few bugs.
I also did some minor work by removing the already disabled log file upload feature and improved a few unimportant points regarding pearlescent materials.
On older versions there was a bug, which led to a configuration reset when the user added a special colour to the palette and restarted LDPE (e.g. chrome, rubber, metal, ...).



As always, you can download LDPE from this page:

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

Changelog:

(3 new features and 5 bug fixes)

With this release you will be able to...

• ...show the error logfiles only ("Tools..." -> "Show Error Logs"). I removed and disabled the upload feature.
  
• ...get no error log entry for the case when a file could not be downloaded for part review from library.ldraw.org (there is still an error dialog, when this happens).
  
• ...get a better renderer result for pearlescent material with the new OpenGL 3.3 renderer pipeline.
  

1. "Replace all" did not work in the text editor.
   
2. Changing the colour palette in the text editor disabled the "More..." colour button.
   
3. It was not possible to save special colours to the custom palette (e.g. CHROME, RUBBER, METAL, ...)
   
4. The feature which checked the part file header for hints had hiccups (uncritical).
   
5. A saved part file was not closed when the user wanted to open or create a new project and decided not keep the current files and views open.

The new leaf part that has appeared in 4 sets or so.

It's in the lego ideas insect collection.

So it's definitely one of those pieces that is good to have for many builds, so hoping it can be added to the library.

Thank you.

The Part i request is Lego Piece 87840 Large Figure Arm / Leg Section with 2 Ball Joint (Ben 10)

Hello Everyone,

This is my first posting on the forum. Hopefully this is the correct place to post.

I have just finished creating my first Classic Space-themed MOC, using LDCAD and POVray to render and would welcome any comments or suggestions.

Many thanks,

Max

Hi Folks,

51008pb01 - Minifigure, Headgear Head Cover, Cowl with Pointed Ears, Sweeping Cape.

https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/cat...1#T=C&C=11


With this piece being in a few sets now, just wondering if its available?

Thanks.

Hello, I would like Pinocchio's head to be added to the LDraw parts database.



https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/cat...0#T=C&C=90


I personally think the mould for this headpiece would also come in handy for other fictional characters like Pearl from Steven Universe.

Would it be possible to request a model for Stud.io of part 51283 (Minifigure, Headgear, Fishbowl Helmet) done up with a custom pattern? 
I'm seeking to commission one as a star globe: lines of latitude and longitude, and randomly dotted with small four pointed stars. 
Willing to pay for your help if necessary.

May I ask whether one can make a part request for an existing part with an entirely original pattern? 
I've been looking to have something commissioned and I'm not sure where else to ask?

Hello, is there a possibility of 49109pb01 being added, I know it's a really complex model, but I could really use it for a cmf I'm making. If it's not possible I completly understand, anyway here's the bricklink page.
