Sorry, my fault for not being clearer / more complete on the Studio forum last
night.
The problem stems from a difference between LDraw and BrickLink:
— for BL, the part has a Red marbling on a Green part,
— for LDraw, the bottom is Green (fixed) and the rest is in the variable colour.
Studio uses the LDraw part but with the BL catalogue. So, following the catogue,
the only available colour for Studio is Green… but if you paint the part Green,
it comes all Green. The part needs to be painted Red to look as the real part…
but then it’s marked as being in the wrong colour and you don’t get the price
in Studio.
There’s two possible solutions for that:
1. Have Studio use a modified 3D model (with the colours swapped) to match the
catalogue,
2. Have the catalogue change its view to match LDraw’s: the part is Red with
a Green marbling not Green with a Red marbling.
(1) may be the easiest. There’s others parts for which it’s been done (dual-moulded
arms for instance).
For (2), well, note that the part is named 2546p02 for both BL and LDraw. It’s
not 2546pb02 for BL. So, if there’s a policy to keep older common IDs
common (as examplified by the keeping of, and reverting to, x… IDs), changing
the BL part doesn’t seem impossible.
That’s why I told Jacob_Pf that I’d suggest (1) but that Jacob_Pf could still
ask for (2) here.
Jacob_Pf also brought out the problem about the (wrong) Red listings but I (wrongly)
didn’t answer that part (as Studio correctly marks Red as non-existing/“not known”).
