Duplo for Studio!

[Philo]

Many people asked for the possibility to use Duplo parts in Studio, so I created this parts pack (including connectivity): https://drive.google.com/open?id=1A1gE522bMrcER3hYjqd0CLbGPrvSlvoE
To use it, unzip it and place its contents in your C:\Users\{your username}\AppData\Local\Stud.io . Duplo parts will then be available in Custom Parts palette of Studio. More details on custom parts in Studio forum: http://forum.bricklink.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=965&p=2615&hilit=customparts&sid=a0487a9d7213c77248f4ce56001e5072#p2615

Caveats:
- Many Duplo parts are missing here (and are not available in LDraw library anyway)
- Studio doesn't provide specific connectivity for Duplo, so I had to make do with simple stud or axle connexions.
- Compatibility with regular LEGO is limited (you can place bricks over Duplo, but Duplo on bricks doesn't position correctly and generate collisions).
- Some parts create unwanted collisions, eg. Duplo wheel on axle. Problem is that Studio part designer generate collision data automatically, I have no control on this. Turn collision off when this happens.

Thank you Philo!! I wish there were digital files for the two train bridge parts. I'm trying to layout my Duplo tracks with Bluebrick.

Parts need to be created first, and tracks are a hell to model ;)
