I have found that there are several elements missing from the Studio, and I have
he latest version. The particular part I would like to use is the Minecraft Villager
Head. However, the shape only comes with the Iron Golem print. Is there any way
I can access these missing parts? The shape doesn't even show in Part Designer.

@cycbuild: For future reference: when you copy the URL from a Studio forum, do
not copy the last parameter &sid=... that is your personal Session ID. It won't
be valid for anyone else so our hyperlink may appear broken.

And to the OP, please do not post about missing parts until after you have read
the Parts FAQ and not found your answer there.

In this case, you can use PartDesigner to put an image on any base part, provided
you have the .dat of the base part (included within Studio) and the .png of the
image you want to put on it.

I've read the Parts FAQ and did not find the printed version anywhere. The
unprinted version exists on Ldraw, but I do not have the png for the print that
is supposed to be on it.

Sorry hpoort, I appreciate the tip. I would like to be helpful, but my SylvainLS
"Studio Forum is over here" impression is clearly missing the experience

Iron Golem .dat file = parts/23766p01.dat

Can you explain in more detail how to add your image to a decorated part?

The standard help at https://studiohelp.bricklink.com/hc/en-us/articles/5877861085079-Creating-a-custom-decorated-part
does indeed not quite cover this yet, nor does the PartDesigner index: https://studiohelp.bricklink.com/hc/en-us/categories/5872302702359-PartDesigner

The process has been explained several times on the Studio-PartDesigner forum,
a.o. at bhttps://forum.bricklink.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=7660

Steps are:
(1) Find or create the image you want to put on your brick and convert it to
.png (any drawing program)
(2) Open or import the base part 23766.dat
(3) Import the image
(4) Position the image in the direction and position you want to project it onto
your brick
(5) Apply the image
(6) Export your decorated part file to Studio
