Thanks are due to all the part authors who created or corrected parts for this release. The small, but dedicated, band of reviewers also play an important role in keeping files moving through the Parts Tracker and deserve just as much credit. This update wouldn't have been possible without their dedication and attention to detail.

You can preview the new parts in 2026-04 here, and download the zip-file update or Windows install package here.

Thank you to all the testers and parts authors who continue giving feedback on the PT software. This project would not be what it is without your help.

Dinosaurs was a small theme made of 12 sets (actually just 8), none of which had a large piece count. It used a new system to build larger animals, which was reused in Orient Expedition, Alpha Team and Star Wars to make elephants or dewbacks for example.

The 4 larger sets came in box-shaped canisters similar to early Bionicle sets. The lids could be used as display bases, while the back of the instruction posters could be used as connectable playmats. Each set could be build into 4 different dinosaurs.

The 4 smaller sets came in both boxed and polybag variants, each with a different set number.]]>

Only nitpick I noticed at first read trough:

Quote:Leading zeros unless immediately before the decimal point must be removed (i.e. 1.5, not 01.5).

Found this a bit confusing, so 0.123,  00000.123  and .123 are all allowed?

Maybe:

Quote:Leading zeros unless at most one immediately before the decimal point must be removed (i.e. 1.5, not 01.5).

I'll kick this off with 2 items:

1. Is the title "LDraw.org Official Parts Library Standards" a good title? Should we use something better?
2. Review the "Introduction" section and provide feedback.

Desired feedback includes, but is not limited to:
 - Content
 - Grammar
 - Page format
 - Page styling (i.e. the overall look and feel)

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!]]>

... the PRINTED tyres ‘Tyre 81.6 x 44 Slick with White “PIRELLI”, “P ZERO” print’

... the PRINTED wheel covers ‘Wheel Cover for Wheel 34 x 56 with Green/Yellow/Red/Blue Circle print’,
