I prefer to design models using LDGlite instead of LDD, but constantly checking LDD for part availability is, well, troublesome. I usually wind up with one computer running LDD and the other running LDGLite just so I can look at the parts that are (...) (18 years ago, 15-Jun-06, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Another possibility is to write a program that grabs the info from the XML files. The available parts are listed in database/bricks/NNNN...ctory.tix, the table to convert the LDD colours to LDraw is in database/ldraw.xml Some of the part (...) (18 years ago, 15-Jun-06, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Well, seeing a challenge there, and not having used XSL before, I started working on a XSL solution :) Got something basic working, I'll let you know when I have something usable ;) ROSCO (18 years ago, 16-Jun-06, to lugnet.cad)

(...) As Ross mentioned, xsl is definitely the way to go for collecting the data. I actually started playing with the xml files a little while ago. Here's what I currently have: (URL) pretty basic at the moment, being just a static html page, but (...) (18 years ago, 16-Jun-06, to lugnet.cad)

Hi Chris, something like that is already available on the official LEGO® website: (URL) perhaps the Lugnet community could improve the list? With a search function? What is still missing is a possibility to add new grey parts in an MLCAD file so (...) (18 years ago, 17-Jun-06, to lugnet.cad)

(...) It might be possible to set LDD to automatically convert regular greys to bley by remapping a couple of colours in one of the XML files. As you say though, the best way would be for the various editors and converters to recognise bleys (very (...) (18 years ago, 17-Jun-06, to lugnet.cad)
