Steve, Are we planning on consolidating one more parts update before the end of the year? Is there anything I could do to help? Just wondering. BTW, How many new parts are currently "in the queue"? Thanks, Franklin (24 years ago, 19-Nov-00, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

I'm a bit new to this myself, so someone correct me if I'm wrong. I recommend using MLCAD (on Windows) to actually edit the LEGO models.
