RE: Existing Part Edit Requests - Rene Rechthaler - 2025-12-03

the two 5.5 axles you mentioned are correct...
(the older 32209 has the long end at X=53 and the other one is not rounded)

for the other parts: not all old parts with sharp ends have been reworked yet.

for the snap: maybe it can be added to the shadow library...

Do you have the number on these?


The axles are different.

both fixed, also the other pullback brick axle

I've added the shadow info for the new axles to the github repository.

https://github.com/RolandMelkert/LDCadShadowLibrary

Just download the code zip and rename it to offLibShadow.csl or update the ldraw path config to point to the new zip.

Thanks, this improved it a lot.

Some of those 'no snapping' parts are unofficial and do have snapping info in the latest git shadow.

Are you sure your unofficial library is ALSO pointing to the same shadow file?

RE: Existing Part Edit Requests - Roland Melkert - 2025-12-12

Also I can't find some of those numbers, like:

92202.dat
5794.dat

Not even on the part tracker  Huh

Oh they will  be from digital bricks actually.

my shadow
 lib is up to date and ldcad is pointing to it yeah 

ill check closely tomorrow

RE: Existing Part Edit Requests - SNIPE - 2026-02-11

part 28974a.dat is missing a tiny detail,

On the real part there is a tiny circle protruding outwards:

This protrusion is not present in LDCAD:

RE: Existing Part Edit Requests - Chris Böhnke - 2026-02-12

That part has seen many revisons by Lego themselves.

Do you know which version your's is from?

At first glance I'd say it's simply a "molding relict" which is typically not rendered in LDraw.

It looks like an "Ejection Mark", meaning it's a stamp left on the part when it is thrown out of the mold (by metal ejection pins) after being cooled down. Those typically have no function (in the final part) and as such are not rendered in LDraw.

EDIT:
Ok, that can't be an Ejection Mark. It still seems to have no direct function... How does it look on a minifig?
Also those holes are more interesting than the protrusion I'd say...

RE: Existing Part Edit Requests - SNIPE - 2026-03-09

Part 80910 does not have barholes or accept a bar

The axleholes do, but bars stop at 1L, however LDCAD is allowing them to go 2L in.

So we need to make the barhole fractionally smaller and cap the axle hole off, 2L axle joiners do this fine.

I also have added snapping to a few parts that had it missing, I will add them on the tracker once I get submit privileges

There's no need to change the LDraw part, you only need to define proper connectivity for it (axle holes work by inheritance, but they need an axlehole stop)

The tracker only defines geometry, for snapping information you need to add them to LDCad shadow library Github: https://github.com/RolandMelkert/LDCadShadowLibrary

RE: Existing Part Edit Requests - Bob R0Sch - 2026-05-08

I thinks it's safe to release the rim 5807 and tire 5809, since they fit together. But you need to resize the rim since it's not 14x11 but actually just 14x9.9 mm, which is logical because the tire is 14x11mm. It's just wrongly labeled by LEGO and luckily Rebrickable shows the correct size https://rebrickable.com/parts/5807/wheel-14mm-d-x-99mm-with-centre-groove-fake-bolts-large-and-6-spokes/

Never mind, it's a different, smaller rim 11.5Dx12, but similarly with City axle hole on one side and Technic pin hole on the other side.

Is ist maybe very stretched? the rear tyres also dont look like the combination is intended (rim is wider than the tyre)...
(where is that from? Instructions availiable? Parts included?)

It's not stretched. The front tires are definitely 5809 with the new smaller rims I mentioned. The rear wheels are just 18977+55982 which combination was used previously as well. 
The pic is from the upcoming Technic magazine shown in the current issue. No instr. or part list available yet. 

Did a quick mock-up:

I think a part of my confusion about 5809 was the "wrong" radius of R14LDU (compared to the R13 of the 6014 family)
For the same reason I made 5812 from 56890 with a different inner radius...
There are now two possible ways: change everything to R14 inside or keep the new ones at the "wrong" R13
(the same carried over errors are the reason for the gaps on the bigger wheels: the rims are 1 LDU too small, but thats also a big change)
If we change the 6014 family, is 1 LDU radius change ok as rework or does it need obsoleting?

RE: Existing Part Edit Requests - Rene Rechthaler - 2026-05-14

Checked the reasons for the differences im rim diameter, found errors in ancient parts:
   
-all wheels are touching and driving each other (some slippage, but still counts as connected)
-the 6015 fits perfectly on 93594 (and its family, which are R14 and measured -> correct)
-> the 6014 and family are currently R13 -> wrong, should be R14 too, measured are 11mm, which is R13,75
-> the 6015 outside is currently R25 -> wrong, should be R26 (to match the 40 LDU distance, also measured that)
-> the 4084 is the same outer diameter as 6015 -> wrong, should also be R26
(also remember, 4084 is supposed to be one plate bigger than 3641, which is correct at R18 -> 18+8=26)

-> is this 1 LDU difference ok as rework or do they need to be obsoleted? (lots of parts in LOTS of sets)

RE: Existing Part Edit Requests - Magnus Forsberg - 2026-05-15

None of these "errors" are a valid reason for a rework or an obsoletion.
