So you're not actually asking for anything... ?

Do you have a footprint for this LED that I mentioned in my first post?

If you're using Altium regularly, it might be worth your time learning to make your own footprints  :-+

Yes, you're right but I created it for reduce the time. I think this thread will be useful for other guys in future. ;)

If you want a library then a picture doesn't do you any good. Give us a datasheet with mechanical drawings that has dimensions on it.
Piece of cake to make then.
I made about 30 parts yesterday in three hours for a project im working on. And that includes schematic, pcb and 3d models including ordering information. Some had no step model i could find so i drew my own 3D model in Rhino (Tdk i ductors, panasonic thru hole filmcaps, rf shielding cans )

That led should take no more than a few minutes to make. Its 3 pads , a shape on silkscreen and a clone of an exisiting schematic symbol with a different link.

Standard parts are rather easy, but some might be challenging and time consuming. Weird inductors, connectors, switches, sockets and the like being a good example. Especially when you don;t have a datasheet just the component in your hand and you have to measure everything "live" with calipers and such.

Ok!
I attached(it contans three model. for three model).
then I want to design this components after this led. ;)
@poorchava
I think this topic will be usefull for that reason you mentioned and also we can collect the all components that guys will put here for requsts of other guys. it will be a good and complete package(library) for guys. ::)

I second making your own. Altium makes it very simple.
Otherwise by the time you check somebody else's one and make sure it's done correctly, you might as well do it yourself

A good way to check if you've done footprint for an unusual part right, is to check for 3d model. Good chance you will find one on 3dcontentcentral. It may help you check whether you haven't made some stupid mistake.

Sure, no problem, I can do it. Let me send you my bank account number, where you can transfer the payment, based on the average hourly wage of an electronics engineer (~35 USD/hour in the USA, I start working by cooking a coffe)
