What do I need to get started making parts for the LDraw library?

[Karl Miller]

Hello everyone,

I am super new to this community and have no idea what I need to get started. I have a list of parts I would like to create in LDraw and know that I should check the LDraw library to make sure they do not exist already before creating and submitting them. However, I have no idea what software I need to create the parts.

What do I need?

Thanks!
