Parts not showing up! James has already answered this, but to offer further
help. After you have downloaded and installed the parts you need to register
them with the program (this normally happens when you first run the program).
I assume you are running MacOS X, so you need to go to your preferences
folder (it is found on the root directory under users). Within your
preferences file look for a file called "LdGLite Prefs", when you find it
delete the file.
The next time you start the program it should ask you for the location of
the "Ldraw" folder.
