Hi Gabriele, Adding part is really time consuming. I got some merge request on github for some new parts, but last time I accepted one merge request, most of the parts were not correctly named, and lost of fields were missing in the xml file. So that took me quite a lot of work to fix the merge request. If someone is interested to be moderator on the brick library, please contact me, and I will be happy to give you the access to update the library. Just in case: you can try to check if there's new parts available through the "File > Download Additional Part..." menu. Yours.

Hello Winczlav, You probably need insert a quarter straight track (in the Track tab). Or maybe you should replace a straight track in the horizontal bottom line by a quarter straight + half straight (to make 3/4 track). Yours.

Hello everyone This topic may be a bit old, but maybe still usefull. Also, now Bluebrick is distributed with a shell script install file for linux that creates a shortcut to launch BlueBrick on your desktop. I guess it should still work, but I'm not sure, since I don't have a linux installed on a computer right now. I'm interested by feedback from linux users, to see if it is still viable to run BlueBrick with mono, and if the install script is still useful, etc... or if most user run BlueBrick through wine. Yours.

Cool! By the way, if there're part contributors who wants to finish the 4DBrix library, please don't hesitate to contact me! :-)

@coaster I've put online on BlueBrick website the BrickTracks package. Please tell me if you found some issues.

Yes it is very likely that I will add it too, in a couple of days.

@M_slug357 you're welcome. Anyone enjoying the TrixBrix or 4DBrix support?

Hello all, I've released BlueBrick 1.9. As usual, you can download it here: http://bluebrick.lswproject.com/ I've also created a video to explain you all the new features, that you can watch here: Yours.

Sorry for the delay. Here are some news: the features are complete (I don't add new stuff for the next release), and I started the debugging phase. I have also integrated 99% of the translation that the translators sent me. However, I lost the translator for Danish and Norwegian, so if you speak those languages and want to help, you can still make it for the release by contacting me. Next I will need to update the documentation, and then I will be ready to publish. Yours. This is normal because in real life there is tolerance in the connection of the tracks. Some LEGO fans even create large curves with only straight tracks, by connecting one side by half, and the train can still run on it. The software just connect the parts following the precise geometric dimensions of the parts.

Hello Dragunov, The successor of BlueBrick is... BlueBrick... :-) Seriously, I don't think BlueBrick is now obsolete. Yes there's new LEGO parts produced regularly, but it is dead simple to add an image in the library for each new part produced (you don't even need to write an xml file, if you don't want/dare/bother to). If you liked the interface of BlueBrick and its functionality, why changing for something that has the parts you want, but not the functionalities you need? :-) Yours.

Thanks a lot hsousa for helping the linux community!

Thanks Mattzobricks. I've followed the development of this library (Mattzobricks kept me informed of his progress by mail), and I have to say that this is indeed a very good version. I will even host this library on the official BlueBrick website, once the 1.9 is released. Yours.

Hello M_slug357, yes make BlueBrick multi-document is a too big change for now. The solution as legoboy mentionned is to have multiple instance of BlueBrick running and you can copy paste between instances. You cannot copy/paste a full layer for now, but that's something I would like to do in short term. You can rebind some of the shortcut keys in the preference, but not the main navigation keys. I thought about it a bit for the previous release, and that was quite a difficult task. I'm not sure how to handle it for now. So, no chance to see those two requests in 1.9, but I keep them on my todo list.

For the FAQ pan the view: click on the middle mouse button, or SHIFT + Left mouse button For the circuit break, yes, that's a good idea. I will take note.

@Capparezza thank you so much, I really appreciate those nice messages.
