Based on his body of work and the awesome job on the Muppet heads, I have promoted Fredrik Hareide [fhareide] to part reviewer.

Thanks for your continued contributions to the LDraw.org Official Library!

Hi all,

Is there a good way to add snapinfo (LDCad) to a flexible part like a rigid hose?
I'd like to be able to snap parts with clips (for example) to a formed and curved rigid hose.

Thanks!

Jaco

P.S. I did ask before, and got things to work a little. Still very complex and a lot of work.
I'd like to see it to be standard. If possible.

See also https://forums.ldraw.org/thread-26354.html for something similar. Never got this to work properly either :-(

Hello,

requesting the parts for series 25 collectable figure “E-Sports Gamer”, since it doesn’t appear to be in the database as of yet (relatively new prints). Rebrickable link: https://rebrickable.com/minifigs/fig-014...mer/#parts


Alternatively, are there any resources available on how one might go about recreating printed minifigure parts in LDraw themselves? I’m unfamiliar with the process of making parts for LDraw, but I do have some 3D experience already and might like to attempt adding some of these new figure prints myself, if the process is not terribly difficult.

I'm making two of the Koi patterns on 1x2 tiles and need help selecting colors.

On the first one I have selected Blue, White, Coral. Don't know about the last color.

This one has orange and reddish brown (as the title says) But the rest?
Might as well do these while I'm at it. So we have all the fish

Attached is the Lego set 8846 - Tow Truck from 1982.

Oke according to MPD Center 2.5.1.0

Done with MLcad.

Wheels are rubber-black
According to MPDcenter 2.5.1.0 is the file correct.
I added the new license: "Licensed under CC BY 4.0 : see CAreadme.txt" that is the only error MPD throws, because I can't find where to adjust this in MPD center.
Also added the thread files, however these files are delivered under the old license, I expect that should stay or can I change those files to new license as well?

Enjoy! Smile

Smaug parts:

wing folding right:

The wing has rubber tissue/or all rubber. It folds with the tissue in the wingspan slot in-between the hinge that becomes closer or further bent based on how hinged the wing is. So it can't be made in two parts but also has to move.

No doubt about it: the best lego dragon wings... But if it's eventually made would they need to be static or have extended and folded versions or a third mid animation version or somehow work like some flex tube? Or a new system just to get it working for just 2 parts?

Hi,

Various sources (Brickset, Bricklink, etc.) talk about the LDraw color id 179 as Flat_Silver (or Flat Silver without the underscore)
Only good old Peeron says "pearlsilver" 

In LDconfig we call this Pearl Silver (too).


I noticed this building a MOC that has the Minifigure Scissors (18920) in it.
I need it to be the right color and it seems this part only comes in Flat Silver.

Should we adjust an make more consistant or is this a well thought through LDraw thing?

Hi,

Building something I was looking for the Cylinder  1 x  1 x 4.333 with Handle (part 87617)
I spent at least 15 minutes searching before finding it.
I assumed it had the word "Bar" in the description or as a keyword.

Also, I wonder what this part has to do with 87618 Bar  4.5L with Handle? (forgive me if this is dump question ;-)
Part 87618 has Bar in the description.

Since is seems 87618 and 87617 are related, can we make this more consistant: either choose Bar or Handle in the description?
Or add keyword bar to one and handle to the other?

Jaco

I think there are some wrong dimensions on part 4522. Based on its use in set 10185 (see image), I propose that the head should be an even 12 LDU wide, instead of 12.5. And it should probably be centered on the handle, so it protrudes 8 LDU on either side (right now it's ~8.5 and 7.5).

Does anyone know of any other uses that would support (or refute) these adjustments?
