I've been trying to figure out the LDCad mirror meta parameters needed for "Car Track 16 x  8 x  2 Curve".

Normally you set a rotation point and rotate the part into its own counter part.

But I'm having problems determining that point as the part seems to be slightly off.

I think it should be half x of the highest point at the arc between the 2 red bricks.

But the two red bricks use different x values (non symmetrical?).

It should probably be close to 172 0 0, but this puts it on 320.956369 0 86 instead of 320 0 086

   

Is this part just not suitable for mirroring or I'm a missing something, thoughts?

current shadow:

I'd like to discuss how were going to handle torso assemblies

Do we want to do Rebrickable style with color 16 torso, hardcoded arms, hardcoded hands? 
Color 16 everything? 
An all color 16 version with cNN versions for the hard coded arms and hands?

I have thoughts but I'd like to hear other opinions first.

P.S. This is happening so the answer of "don't add them" isn't helpful.

This is how I update the LDraw part numbers used on my LEGO Parts Guide at https://brickarchitect.com/parts/

I don't know how long it has been broken, since I haven't updated my dataset since 4/30.

This hairpiece should be available in the instructions app in most of the DREAMZzz sets. I was looking for it since I think it would be a pretty good fit for Mae/Osha from The Acolyte.

Hey,

this release brings triangle auto-completion. It can speed-up pattern creation once again (Video on YouTube).
Just place a few vertices and click on the "magic stick" icon
  magic.png (Size: 1.39 KB / Downloads: 118) .
Then hover with the circle above the vertices. They will be auto-magically triangulated.
You can increase and decrease the "magic circle" size with the cursor keys.
The selection is limited to 25 vertices, otherwise it will not work smoothly.

To test this feature, you could load a finished pattern and delete one colour from the pattern.
Then try to recreate the deleted area with triangle auto-completion by moving the circle over it.
Zooming in/out and adjusting the circle size with the cursor keys helps you during this process.

Please note that it can leave gaps, sice it refuses to create very sharp triangles.
This feature does not yet consider reference lines or the background picture contents.

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 feature:

• Added "Triangle Auto-Completion" which creates triangles over a set of vertices inside a circle. Use the cursor keys to increase or decrease the circle size.
  

in attach the parts of the new flask
how need to color the single parts?
i try to color transparent yellow the main external surface and solid light yellow the interior part.
i leave the other part on the main color (16) to apply the transparent clear color...but i dont like the final result...

i try different mix but nothing is similar of the official flask pic
some suggest?

After submitting 3818px3 it looks like the part tracker image is mirrored, but the file itself looks ok?
If there is an error in the file itself, I don't see it at the moment.

Hello guys,

I've been looking for the brick 31901 for a long time but I couldn't find one yet, I would need it in Stud.io... I saw on rebrickable that there seems to be this brick here, but I can't find it... Could someone show me where it is/recreate it, because I can't see it using the part tracker function... Here is the rebrickable website with the Ldraw picture: https://rebrickable.com/parts/31901/larg...#rel_parts

I hope for your help, I would be very happy!
Greetings

Hey,

this version gives you the powerful ability to move a set of subfiles to the manipulator, using "Move a selected Subfile to the Manipulator".
You need to pick one subfile as a reference and it transforms the selection accordingly!
There are also other helpful features, too, e.g. configuring Edger2 to include or not include unmatched edges by default.
And last, but not least the "long awaited" buttons for global translate+rotate via text editor.



As always, you can download LDPE from this page:

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

Changelog:

(4 new features and 1 bug fix)

With this release you will be able to...

• ...move a set of subfiles to the manipulator, using "Move a selected Subfile to the Manipulator" (only one subfile was supported before).
  
• ...customise Edger2 in the options ("Tools..."->"Options...") to include or not include unmatched edges by default.
  
• ...use buttons for (global) 3D transformations (rotate + translate) in the text editor.
  
• ...choose on which line the point gets projected when you calculate the nearest point between two skew lines.
