Support for mindstorms bricks?

Hi there, nice editor you got here. Runs great on my crappy laptop even. I couldn't find any of the Mindstorms-related bricks however. Was I not looking hard enough or is this something that's not supported?

Parts require a lot of time to model and currently nobody has done any Mindstorms bricks. So, they aren't here yet. 😉

And welcome btw - copies name and paste name - WdjG8xJ9lZsEYvR4. 😛

What does Mecabricks use under the hood? You guys build all your models from scratch in solidworks or something? Have you considered the the LDraw library?

Nevermind, looks like you guys are using Blender. There's a LDraw file import tool for blender, might bootstrap the process of pumping out some of these models. http://wiki.blender.org/index.php/Extensions:2.6/Py/Scripts/Import-Export/LDRAW_Importer

Just a thought.

Hello,
Ldraw parts are generally not very compatible with Mecabricks parts. LDraw is using a special dimension system/unit which is not properly reflecting the real part dimensions. They would need a lot of rework and it is generally easier/quicker to start from scratch.
