Does anyone know if there is a library of Duplo parts out there for LDraw? -- Tony Hafner www.hafhead.com (24 years ago, 22-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Sorry. All the parts i've seen are for the main LEGO System Themes, such as space, town & castle. But there are some Fabuland parts in the directory, some place. I'll keep an open eye for any Duplo parts though. ------- Austin Greenwood (...) (24 years ago, 22-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) I've thought about modeling some Duplo parts - has nobody really done this yet? Are there any primitives? (24 years ago, 23-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) yet? (...) No, but there are clear candidates - the top stud and the underneath "stud". Duplo is probably quite a rich development field for new authors, now thatthere seems to be a demand. Chris (24 years ago, 23-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Actually, AFAIK, the regular stud*.dat files should work fine -- they just need to be scaled up by a factor of two. Instead of writing: 1 16 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 stud.dat you'd do: 1 16 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 2 stud.dat Steve (24 years ago, 25-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) Comparing relative sizes with some of my son's Duplo bricks last night, it looks like the Duplo studs are a little shorter in height than two Lego studs. A couple questions about detail - Duplo bricks all have a circular depression on the top (...) (24 years ago, 27-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) And the walls of the bottom tubes are certainly not twice as thick as on System parts. Note that the studs fit great between the bottom tubes, but they don't bind *at all* when placed inside the tubes. There is another type of stud that fits (...)

(...) I should have said the Duplo studs are a little _taller_ than two Lego studs. The number I came up with is 2.4 times the height of a lego stud. (...) I made up a 2x2 Duplo trial last night. I used the same wall thickness as Lego bricks (4 (...) (24 years ago, 28-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) I make a couple some time ago. Sad that the Lugnet News search function isn't working, but I know I have it somewhere in my outbox. I also made a LDS script so I just needed to change header, the w and d variables to make standard Duplo parts (...) (24 years ago, 28-Dec-00, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) As you noted, the logo should not be included (in LDraw). (...) So far, the flattened corners have been skipped on System-scale parts. Do the flattened corners deviate from a true circle by more than 1 LDU? If they do, then that adds weight to (...) (24 years ago, 2-Jan-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

I actually scaled the model up on my computer screen until the body matched, then compared the stud height,holding a brick to the screen. I'd love it (...)

(...) Take a 3001 (Brick 4x2) and put a 3437 (Duplo Brick 2 x 2) on top. The 3001's studs end at 4 LDU from the edge, and The Duplo brick fits perfectly well on top, and it ends where the 3001 ends. So the Duplo wall must be exactly 4 LDU. Also note (...) (24 years ago, 4-Jan-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) No, it's correct. If they were thicker, you wouldn't be able to put Duplo bricks on top of System bricks. (...) The stud height has changed over the years. The newer ones are quite close to 11. I haven't checked the older ones that closely. (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jan-01, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
