All, I am trying to figure out the fastest way to create images of all the parts in the LDRAW part library in all the colors. Please help! I have used the command line: c:\ldraw\ldlite\ldlite 3001.dat -MS (plus whatever color) But hand typing in (...) (24 years ago, 14-Jun-00, to lugnet.cad)

  Re: Browser Add-on?
 
This is an old thread but something I've also had troubles with and can't find help on the subject. I have the .DAT file extension set to use L3Lab as my viewer, and everything works fine; when I double-click or otherwise open an LDraw DAT file it (...) (24 years ago, 14-Jun-00, to lugnet.cad)

  4559 alternate model (korov)  [DAT]
 
this one's been on the shelf for a bit. it needs the train nose part which has been substituted with magenta slopes. i originally copied the model into space police I colors and was going to use it as a "guess the set" contest but too many pieces (...)

  Re: New Part: Cylinder 2 x 2 x 2/3 Inverted Dome
 
(...) Why not set the part so the top is at Y=0? This would move the part down 16LDU, if I read the DAT correctly. (...) I echo this sentiment. Very nice job. Steve (24 years ago, 14-Jun-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: bulk ordering is here!
 
(...) Yes, in an ideal world, I'd like to see all the instructions available for download in a single printable (PDF?) document. However, I expect TLG would want to host that themselves (if at all).

  Re: bulk ordering is here!
 
(...) Wow, I'm more impressed than I thought I'd be. Pricing is a little whacky on some elements in some colors, but that comes from Lego looking at a grey brick as the same as a red brick since they probably cost them the same to make. Doubt it'll (...) (24 years ago, 14-Jun-00, to lugnet.lego.direct, lugnet.publish, lugnet.cad)

  Re: New Part: Cylinder 2 x 2 x 2/3 Inverted Dome
 
This one looks better than the version Thomas Burger posted recently, with details like the recessed half cylinders around the bottom stud connector.
