For Beginners: LDCad 1.5 Part Bins for EV3 Education 45544-1, Part 3 of 6

The image below shows what happens when you click the EV3 brick image and LDCad processes the "EV3-Edu.pbg" file.  The Bin Selection window populates with the <items> from the "EV3-Edu.pbg" file which is also shown below.  Note the picture reference to the "EV3-Edu.png" image which was used by "root.pbg."  I chose "sortOn = none" because I wanted to list the parts in the same order that the sorted bins will come in.  But you should experiment with other options if you are more comfortable with other arrangements of the parts.  Just remember, it's all one LDCad part bin.

Also shown are the seven lines from "EV3-Edu.pbg" that correspond to the parts shown in the LDCad 1.5 Bin Selection screenshot.  Each line references an LDraw ".dat" file which is used by LDCad to generate the image, plus the color information for the color of the part used in the EV3 kit, plus the count of those parts in the kit, which shows in the upper right corner of the image for each part.

The "45544-1-sorted.pbg" file is for the second goal of having six LDCad part bins that sort the parts by type, described next.
