LDraw and Studio

Part packs for Studio

Parts packs for Studio Packs of parts missing in Studio... made from LDraw parts and edited in Studio part designer to add connectivity.

LDraw tools for parts authors 

	Isecalc Compute the intersection line of two LDraw surfaces.
	Coverer Creates a sheet of triangle and quads between two sets of lines
	Intersector Cuts a LDraw surface along the intersection with another.
	PlanarCheck This tools helps you verify that all quads of a part file are planar enough to fulfill LDraw.org Parts Tracker requirements. Also allows easy splitting of warped quads into two triangles.
	Ytruder Creates a sheet of triangle and quads from a set of lines by straight extrusion.
	PathTruder Create a surface by extrusion of a shape along a path.
	Projector Stamp a flat pattern over a LDraw 3D former.
	Dat2QP LDraw to Quad2Dat converter (tool written by J.C. Tchang).
	Rectifier A LDraw file optimizer.
	Edger 2 A LDraw line adder tool that automatically creates conditional lines and edge lines. Can also be used as an inliner and as a T-junction checker.
	LDraw measuring tools For parts authors, a set of do-it-yourself measuring instruments to directly measure parts in LDraw units.
	SlicerPro Slice a flat pattern along the edges of a LDraw 3D former, then stamp it onto this former
	Rings and Cones Program written by Niels Karsdorp, hosted here with his authorization. 'Rings and Cones' is a stand-alone application to help LDraw part authors to find multiple rings or cones that make up a single ring or cone with a given inner and outer radius.
	SymSplitter is the tool of choice when you want to exploit symmetries in a LDraw file to reduce its size. You may use it to separate left/right/middle parts, cut parts by planes, and adjust vertices coordinates to make sure they lie precisely in symmetry planes.
	Unificator merges together nearby vertices in LDraw files, and snaps triangle/quads onto primitives/subfiles.
	Selector utility allows to select surface elements by extending a key-colored surface to its neighbours. Edge lines or conditional lines enclosed or bordering selection can be selected too.
