2026 - New Parts -> Raw Meshes -> Discussion

[tom alphin]

Very eager to see the smart brick components available - I want to include them in my Parts Guide.

As I wanted to keep the mesh-thread clean, i.e. meshed only posts, relvant discussions should be here! 
Thanks!

No worries, thanks Gerald.  There's a ton of interesting new parts on that thread!


Are all of these meshes extracted from the LEGO Builder app?  If so, how is that app designed - I assume that the parts and instructions for a particular set are downloaded on demand when you click "Build with 3D instructions", since the loading screen took about 30 seconds in my testing.  I also see that the core app is just 123mb, which is not small, but also not large enough to include every LEGO part.

How does this work - Are you able to download the meshes from LEGO servers directly, or do you need to use the app on an iOS or Android device to download and extract the files?  (I searched for a thread explaining this but couldn't find any detailed info.)

Correct, the app downloads the parts on demand, the longer you have it installed the more data it amasses.

There is a part missing so far, the formed and unformed version of the Ford model T roof canvas. I had to zip them as they are pretty big.

Thansk, Interestingly my filter didn'T spit it out, also the cone fabric for the dog is missing and their formed variants. Will add them.
