IOW, are the two traveling in sync with one another ? No    I just went and did a Parts.XML download from the catalog. In it I see X/Y/Z dimensions in studs (just like what's on the Catalog page). Can I reliably infer that parts in that download missing dimensions are also missing in the IC database, are that they even match (mathematically speaking) ? Alas no    Then I took one set at random (1356-1) … Both the catalog page and the download show dimensions in cm. But the fields below a lot entry are in mm. That would seem to be an easy calculation provided that they are more closely in sync than the parts may be. If you part the set out using Bricklink's tool for doing so and break the minifigs into parts as well, you will see for that particular set that the minifigs will be weight bound as well as all the torso assemblies and all the minifig heads, all the other parts have IC dimensions. The easiest way still to check inventory for missing dimensions is still the inventory setting for IC not available. The easiest method to check for missing details when uploading is also unfortunately to use the part-out tool in Bricklink (I forget to do this as a check from time to time since I've stopped using Bricklink altogether for uploading inventory), you cannot get that information from Brickstock either. Jean OK, the 'IC not available' option (which I only now realize exists) says I have 104 lots that are not IC complete. They are, based on a cursory scan, all in Original Boxes, Catalogs, Instructions, Sticker Sheets, Gear, Trading Cards, and a couple of custom lots. As far as I can tell, nothing in my Parts, Sets, or Minifigs is in that list, so the core items of my inventory should pass muster (assuming the given numbers are legitimate, which for a few sets have proven to be otherwise).
