Recently Mladen Pejic asked me why I don't .DAT my creations.
I replied there were two reasons for this:

Believe me when I say there is a group of people who would use CAD Bionicle
parts if they were available.

Please keep one thing in mind: the Slizer/Bionicle parts are some of the
most ornate, detailed elements LEGO has ever produced.  So it's little
wonder that they aren't all modeled.

But, a number of Throwbot/Slizer/Roborider/Bionicle parts have already
modeled in LDraw.  You can view the parts that are 'officially' released
here: <http://guide.lugnet.com/partsref/search.cgi?q=block> (not a
perfect search).  One part, the 'leg', was just released, and it's not
shown on Partsref yet.

There are also several parts (the shoulder, the ankle, the bionicle
torso, etc) that have been submitted to the library, but are not yet
released.  You can find these parts in the list at
<http://www.ldraw.org/library/tracker/list.html>.  Search that page for
'block'.

I've seen some other Bionicle parts on the web, but I didn't keep notes
on where they were.  Does anyone have information on these?
