Hi, I've downloaded the complet parts database from Ldraw.org but in my ML-CAD I can't see many parts from updates. For example I can't find "shuttle plate" from lcad98-02 update. I downloaded this update but it seems that this parts ARE YET (...) (23 years ago, 18-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, lugnet.cad.mlcad, lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

I don't know if this has been brought up before or not, but if the stickers are separate parts, they will "float" above the piece if you use L3P, L3Lab, or LDView and have seams turned on. Since I would expect most L3P renderings to be done with (...) (23 years ago, 16-Jan-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
