Lego part 6179pb256 - Completed - John B - 2025-05-04
Hello
This is my first dabble into the world of LDraw so my apologies in advance for any errors - please be gentle.
I enjoy creating LEGO sets in Studio - and I recently did so with set 75405 (Home One Starcruiser).
The imported LEGO set model in Studio is missing 6179pb256 and so I created it:

If I needed this it stands to reason others may also. My limited understanding is that the part list for Studio is, ultimately, based off LDraw.
So I submit here as an .dat file for anyone to use accordingly.
Grateful for any [constructive] feedback/redirection required.

I assume you used "Decal" tool in Stud.io's Part Designer to make this?
Those are typically not compatible. LDraw parts are (at least should be) fully compatible with Stud.io, but vice-versa it's not the case. The Stud.io team has made several files on their own in that manner already.
In general patterns work a lot different than the "texture" approach in stud.io. Typically LDraw patterns are coded into the respective surface as a vector-like image, which has the benefit of being more scalable at different resolutions and also be more color consistent.
A texture feature ("TEXMAP") exists in LDraw as well, but this is typically used for far more complex things. Both the Lego and Star Wars logo already exist as re-usable sub-files, from which to build this pattern. There are also tools to help with integrating the text into the final part.
Is this a sticker or directly printed on the plastic?
If it's a sticker, the "plate" itself would be a "shortcut" of the existing unprinted tile and the new sticker "part".
