Parts Tracker

[Max Murtazin]

The only thing I don't understand about LDraw.org is that parts are uploaded, and when you download them, the Part Designer doesn't recognize them. Why aren't these DAT files even properly completed so that they're usable?

To give a more in-depth explanation, just like anything LDraw, Studio needs all of the subfiles (submodels and primitives) to load the model. Most LDraw parts have submodels specific to them, which, if Studio doesn't have that part, it won't have the submodels for it either. A lot of newer primitives are also missing from Studio - that's due to Studio's library being essentially a fork of LDraw official library (and it pretty much can't not be because of how Bricklink made their editor)

Edit: didn't meant to necropost, realized that topic didn't have posts for months only after sending the reply
