Apply pattern to part using LD Pattern Creator - Reuben Pearse - 2016-04-07

Hi there,

I've created a sticker part using LD Pattern Creator (it's the S.H.I.E.L.D. logo for the Quinjet) - see attached file sticker_v8.dat

However I've now realised that I need to add/apply the pattern to an existing part - 6881b.dat.

Do I need to create a new projection template for this brick?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Reuben

small rant: I can't under stand why LEGO makes a different design of the SHIELD logo for nearly every set... would be easier if we could re-use existing sub-files more often


I hope I got you right:

- The sticker is just applied to the part, at least in real life the part is not printed
- So it is not necessary to add the pattern to the part itself

Thanks - I figured out that I could use my sticker part after all - attached is a render of the Quinjet with the SHIELD logo.
OK - next question - how do I submit my new sticker part for review? It's not perfect, but probably useful for someone.

Hej,
it's just an extract of the "About Us" page:

We will review the part then. And don't get sad, if we should state a hold vote due to several small things. If you need any help, feel free to ask.
