Part Request: Ladder 4X16 W. Ø3.2 Shaft (11299)

[Steve J.]

Listed on brickset as Ladder 4X16 W. Ø3.2 Shaft/6018585/11299/Fences and Ladders/White/2013

Did not find it anywhere in official, unofficial or in-progress... Any takers?

[Steve J.]

After doing some research, I found that the part is available in LDD

My first thought was to export the part as .ldr after updating the ldraw.xml file, which did not work. (Exports a file with two lines of comments and no further data?)

Suggestions?

[Max Martin Richter]

At least it is available as a raw export here:

I'm working on this one. Note that origin of LDD part is weird at best...

[Max Martin Richter]

Please not that there was some discussion about the new and the old ladder concerning the origin and dimensions!

I intend to reuse 15118 origin and subparts. Hopefully it's OK...

[Max Martin Richter]

Yes for sure. But we should find a solution for the ladder origin and dimension problem anyway. Unfortunately I have no idea how to solve it. Maybe we need to make the old ladder obsolete...

Maybe we need to make the old ladder obsolete...

I tend to think that...

Don't forget the subparts!

First, I want to thank the LDRAW community at large for all of the work you put into parts, maintenance, etc. in making it possible for folks like myself to have the luxury of having it at our disposal for use. I was not expecting as quick a turnaround as was delivered. I also had no idea the can of worms I (re?)opened with this request, but it does appear that the new 4207a plays well with this part. Only remaining question I had - Does the 87913 part need some tweaking as well for the same "ladder issue" reasons? The interface areas on that part overlap slightly when attaching to 11299 or 4207a. Thanks again, as I know you are all doing this in your "free" time.

As far as I can remember I changed the ladder holder to the new design. The only wrong thing I can see at the moment is, that the beginning and end sections of the new ladder without shaft needs a bit reworking to match the beginning and end of the ladder with shaft.
