[Solved] Part request: 78c13

[Thom Kok]

I was not able to find 78c13 on the parts tracker and would like to use it in my Rock Raiders Power Station moc. I would like to request 78c13.

Hi Tom,

This should be 71945

Look into LDCads parts bins in Hose and filter for Ribbed

Thank you for pointing me in the right direction =)

In the future, if you can't find a part, try looking on Rebrickable. They have an excellent LDraw number cross reference. For example here's 78c13:
https://rebrickable.com/parts/78c13/hose...7mm-d-13l/

If you look, the LDraw number is listed as 71945.

Good to know. I use Rebrickable a lot. Next time I will check Rebrickable first.

I do not know why, but after downloading 71945.dat from the parts tracker and importing the 71945.dat file into PartDesigner it says it is missing the subfiles. I had this issue with part 32064c as well. I think this is a bug, because I do not remember this happening with other parts in the past.

Studio is a real pain to work with, they never properly update their LDraw library. 71944k01 and k02 are official for two years, but still didn't make it to Studio library
Should work if you add both files in the same folder as 71945.dat.

I tried it, but it seems that it also wants to have s/71944s01.dat. So I downloaded that file as well, but it seems that it specificly wants the file name to match it. Windows does not allow a / in the name, so I got stuck again.



I had to change the name in each part file mentioning s/71944s01.dat to 71944s01.dat to solve this problem.



Thanks for the help! Hopefully this tube gets added soon. I will at least try to get it into the cheenzo parts github repository for everyone to use. I would like to be able to use it in a Rock Raider MOC.

You could also have created a folder named s in the same folder as 71945.dat and put the 71944s01.dat inside without modifying the content of other files

Oh I did not think about that. That is a good idea.

Actually, that's the right way to do it

I messaged Cheenzo of the StudioParts library for studio on github about the missing hoses. He mentioned the reason why 78c13 is not added to studio. He replied with this.



It looks like it is getting more complicated. I have no idea if this is easy to solve, but if somebody wants to look into this. That would be awesome .

There is a discussion already ongoing. The most recent is here (and it links to earlier discussions).
