LDraw.org 2023-07 Parts Update Now Available

[Johannes Schauer]

Thanks a lot for this update! The CC-BY-4.0 coverage keeps increasing. When 2302 was released, only 18% of the parts remained after removing all material that was not CC-BY-4.0. With this update, that number is up to 48%. With 2302, 98 of the top 100 parts (according to rebrickable.com popularity) were not covered by CC-BY-4.0. Now this number is down to 32. As last year (happy new years!) has seen a lot of releases, I plotted the development in a graph:

• "top direct" is how many of the top 100 parts are directly not covered by CC-BY-4.0 (less is better, zero ideal)
  
• "remaining" is how much of the parts library is remaining after removing all material that is not CC-BY-4.0 (more is better, 100 ideal)
  
• "top missing" is how many of the top 100 parts are directly or indirectly not covered by CC-BY-4.0 (less is better, zero ideal)
  

Maybe most interesting for you is, which primitives are most often responsible for popular parts not being covered. Here is the top-10 together with the number of parts they block.

•   p/box2-7.dat      1768
  
•   p/48/1-4edge.dat  1357
  
•   p/48/1-4cyli.dat  1138
  
•   p/box4-4a.dat    1053
  
•   p/3-16ndis.dat    780
  
•   p/box3u5p.dat    742
  
•   p/7-16cyli.dat    654
  
•   p/box5-4a.dat    609
  
•   p/4-4ring9.dat    558
  
•   p/box4-2p.dat    533
  

Amongst this are some very trivial parts. p/box2-7.dat, for example. Focussing on these could very quickly improve the statistics above.

Thank you!
