Hi!
I'm Miriana, from Italy.
I'm a Lego fan and I need help to make own part.
Now I'm making howgwarts castel and I noticed that some parts are not on
database.
Can I make them by my own?
For example if I want make bat part (30103.dat) how can I proceed?
Thanks for help.

ciao miriana,

la creazione di parts (specialmente di un freeform come il pipistrello) richiede
una certa esperienza CAD per raggiungere un risultato soddisfacente in breve
tempo - e comunque prima che il tutto diventasse troppo frustrante. se mi mandi
una mail ti posso delineare un quadro più preciso.

ciao, w.

Si, accosento that the "pipistrello" part is not the best to begin with as an
unexperienced LDraw author. I had it in my LDraw todo-bucket before I sold my
LEGO collection. I regret that I didn't withhold that bucket from the deal, or I
could help you.

If you want to give it a try, I suggest you start with something much more
simple. Make a copy of 3010.dat and try to convert it into a 5x1 brick just to
see how the LDraw coordinate system and the different line types work. Have a
look at the tutorials and specifications on www.ldraw.org. Study the primitives
in the \P folder and feel welcome to the part authors guild!
