Generate MPD with all dependency parts

[Michael Heidemann]

Hi guys,

I'm totally new and very fascinated by ldraw.
I'm a software engineer and would like to view custom created models using this software: https://github.com/EvanBacon/Lego-Expo
Here is an online demo of the viewer: https://ldr.netlify.app/
The tools read MPD files. Example files can be found here: https://github.com/EvanBacon/Lego-Expo/t...ary/models

My understanding is that the files have to contain the declaration of all parts used in the model. No external references are allowed.

As a test, I would like to use a simple baseplate and view it using Lego-Expo. I found this baseplate: https://www.ldraw.org/parts/official-par...artid=4186

Is there a way to generate an MPD file with all the referenced parts based on a DAT-file (like the parts/4186.dat) ?

I couldn't found such a tool. 
Thanks for your help!

Cheers,
Bernhard

Hi Bernhard,
you should try my program MPDCenter for your purpose.
