Ever wonder if you could build a set from parts already in your
collection? Now you can find out! From any set inventory, click on "Try
to build" in the "My Parts" section on the right, and the system will
compare the parts needed to build to the list of parts in your
collection.

It will give you the list of the parts in the set, marking each line to
say if you have all the parts needed for it in the right color, if you
can use other colors to make up for missing parts, or if you need more
of a certain part.

Please note that this feature does not take part notes into account, nor
can it use entries in the inventory without part numbers.

Take a look, and as always, comments and suggestions are welcome!

Thanks!

Dan and Jennifer Boger

  Re: Build sets from "My Parts"
 
(...) I have a comment. I am personally crushed and shocked that Peeron would impliment this feature for its own site, after Dan and I, and others, discussed doing it for LUGNET members, in discussions on LUGNET's internal mailing-list. I am happy (...) (22 years ago, 6-May-03, to lugnet.inv) !

(...) use an LDraw parts list to do the same check so we can see if we can real-build a MOC designed in CAD! Thanks!!! -Paul (22 years ago, 6-May-03, to lugnet.inv)
  Re: Build sets from "My Parts"
 
(...) I like it, but I'd like to suggest one change. Because of the way Peeron indexes parts, the same physical part with a different printed pattern is considered a completely different part. So if you're missing a part with a particular printed (...) (22 years ago, 6-May-03, to lugnet.inv)
  Re: Build sets from "My Parts"
 
(...) Wow! This time I became a member on Peeron and wow! Was that like being frozen and awaked 1,000 years later!?! But why did you have to sum up the MSRP? :) The download of the set list from Lugnet worked like a charm, and like others I tried to (...) (22 years ago, 7-May-03, to lugnet.inv)
  Re: Build sets from "My Parts"
 
(...) You have just motivated me to upload my sets to Lugnet and register for peeron. Could you add another two buttons? 1. "What can I build?" It would have the same function as "Try to build" but it would list each of the possible sets which I (...) (22 years ago, 7-May-03, to lugnet.inv)
