Hello everyone on the board, just wondering is there a way to add a ground plane in the editing screen?  I meant a sturdy ground base to lay the model on?

In current implementation, I can easily toggle between the two last edited submodels using End key. Nice, but often I would like to be able to easily access the three last edited submodels.

Use case: I have a parent model with one submodel on right side, and I want to create the mirrored submodel forleft side. So I edit right side submodel, duplicate it to left side submodel, mirror it but... now I need to navigate in current session parts bin to find again parent model.

Dunno what would be the best user interface: End key cycling between the 3 latest edited submodels?

I did some searching for this but maybe its been answered and I missed it.

I want to know if there is a way to re-locate a pin on a specific object/part and have it stay there. So say I relocate the pin such that it lines up with the hinge of the top part of the treasure chest, now if I do a side rotate the treasure chest can be opened and closed without having to move the lid. Of course normally once you click off a part a pin resets, I'm wondering if I can tell it to stay in the location I've moved it to for that specific part?

Guys,

honestly I'm a bit embarrassed - I really thought I knew all about authoring after all these years. However - I took the modelled head of the horse and created a flattened copy at x=0. I'd like to join every vertex at x=0 to X=a in the modelled head. Once I get all edges the modelled (main color) head will be deleted in order to get only the edges, which will be used as "altitude" guides for a patterned version.

   

I could obviously do it manually but was wondering if it can be all done with just a few clicks. Any ideas?

Hello,

I downloaded this from the parts tracker and all of it sub models. I am in no way a parts reviewer but I would like to mention that the two "tangs" on each end should allow for a brick or plate to be inserted. Currently the dimensions are not correct. 

Here is a screen shot for reference comparing to the 9V train motor. You can see the dimension needs to be adjusted. 



TjaI hope this is helpful. 

Hi,

with this LDPE release it is possible to open multiple files in one go, invert the mouse wheel zoom direction and there are some other features, too


As always, you can download LDPE from this page:
http://nilsschmidt1337.github.io/ldparteditor/

Changelog:
(5 new features and 2 bug fixes)

With this release you will be able to...

• ...invert the mouse wheel zoom direction (Tools... -> Options... -> Customise Shortkeys).
  
• ...open multiple files in one go.
  
• ...use a shortcut to reset the manipulator to the origin and world orientation ("R" key).
  
• ...see the coordinates of up to 4 selected vertices in the status bar (there is some logic behind their displayed order. The topmost vertex is displayed first.).
  
• ...benefit from the automatically deactivation of "Add..." when you focus or select something in the text editor.
  

1. The scale tool and other tools displayed the manipulator with "global" coordinates when "local" coordinates were active.
   
2. There was a missing comma in the selection info on the status bar.
