I'd like to request parts for the Alien Tourist from CMF Series 26 Space. It's a fun figure and I'd love to use it in LDCad/Studio, but none of its parts seem to be in the library yet

The figure has parts that would need to be added:

1. Head: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/cat...T=S&C=86&O

2. Torso: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/cat...=3#T=I&C=3

3. hat: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/cat...9#T=C&C=39

Thanks a lot to anyone who picks this up — I know it's a lot of work and it's all done voluntarily, so it's really appreciated!]]>

there was a little bug regarding the scientific number replacement. The last number was not modified. Thanks to Willy for reporting this.

Download and install the latest LDPatternCreator release directly from sourceforge.net.
Any previous version should be uninstalled first. Your program configuration will be preserved.

Change log:

Fixed bug:

• The scientific number notation was not replaced on the last number of a text line (e.g. with a triangle '3 4 ... 1e-015').
  

As always, I included a short readme.htm in the installation directory.

with this update I improved the *.dat-file export by replacing scientific numbers with their decimal counterpart.
It will also replace values like 1.2e-8 with 0.

Download and install the latest LDPatternCreator release directly from sourceforge.net.
Any previous version should be uninstalled first. Your program configuration will be preserved.

Change log:

New features:

• The dat-file export replaces now scientific number notations in exported files.
  
• Set the snap via toolbar buttons (for 1, 10, 100, 1000).
  
• Remove isolated vertices from a selection.
  

As always, I included a short readme.htm in the installation directory.

Friend and I are remaking LEGO Loco and we wanted to put the 4559 train in it, since the game's promo materials include it.

I noticed on a Stack Overflow post that one Iván Sánchez had recreated this model in LeoCAD, so I reached out to him to ask for it so that I could render sprites with it. He very kindly sent it over and also asked if I'd care to get it submitted to the OMR. So here I am.

I've attached the current state of the model. I modified it a bit to make sure it included all the listed parts. What's next? 

Thanks everyone!

this release lets you round the coordinates of a single selected vertex directly in the vertex popup window.
It also fixes the critical search and replace bug which was reported by N.W. Perry and improves the new auto-save feature a little bit.



As always, you can download LDPE from this page:

http://nilsschmidt1337.github.io/ldparteditor/

Changelog:

(1 new feature and 3 bug fixes)

With this release you will be able to...

• ...use a "rounding vertex button" on the vertex popup window.
  

The following critical issues are fixed:

1. Program freezed on "Replace All" (caused by search and replaces like "b" -> "bb")
   
2. A pattern file name "...ps1" was detected as a subfile.
   
3. Theoretical problem with auto-save when the editor is not fully initialized yet and a practical problem when auto-save saves the file at the same time as a manual save (simultaneous file access).
   

The program was tested intensively with "real world" files.
However, something can go wrong in about 140.000 lines of code.

Installation on Windows:

1. Download and extract LDPartEditor_win32_x64.zip
   
2. Run LDPartEditor-1.9.03.msi
   
3. Start LDPartEditor from the start menu
   

Installation on Linux:

1. Download and extract LDPartEditor_linux_x64.zip
   
2. Install ldparteditor_1.9.03_amd64.deb
   
3. Start LDPartEditor from the menu or via launcher
   

Installation on Mac OS X:

1. Download and extract LDPartEditor_mac_x64.zip
   
2. Mount LDPartEditor-1.9.03.dmg
   
3. Drag LDPartEditor.app to the Applications folder
   
4. Copy ldparteditor.sh to your home folder
       4a. Open a Terminal.app and run ./ldparteditor.sh
       4b. Or open a Terminal.app and run /Applications/LDPartEditor.app/Contents/MacOS/LDPartEditor
   

I listen carefully to your requests and possible complaints. Please leave me a message, with your thoughts and wishes to further improve the software.

LDPE is a 3D CAD application: The overall system requirements are higher. While I recommend to use a powerful 64-bit multicore system, it could be possible, to run LDPE on older machines as well.

System Requirements:

Minimum System Requirements:

• OpenGL 2.1 compatible Graphics Card
  
• Operating System (64-bit): Windows [7 or newer], Linux [e.g. Linux Mint >=22], Mac OS X [>=14]
  
• CPU: Multicore-Processor e.g. Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Athlon II (>2.0Ghz)
  
• RAM: 4GB
  
• Video-Memory: 1 GB
  
• Free Disk Space: 150 MB
  

Recommended Requirements:

• Operating System (64bit): Windows 7,8,10,11, Linux [e.g. Linux Mint >=22], Mac OS X [>=14]
  
• OpenGL 3.3 compatible Graphics Card
  
• CPU: Multicore-Processor with 4 cores (or more)
  
• RAM: >4 GB
  
• Video-Memory: >1 GB
  
• Free Disk Space: 500 MB
  
• For a faster start, LDPartEditor and the LDraw™ library should be installed on an SSD.
