Hey All,

I'm trying to use LDPE. I was able to install it fine, no problems. But I really have no idea how to get started. I checked out the wiki, which seems to be broken, as well as the old wiki, which didn't really help me much.

I've used Onshape a bit, as well as Tinkercad, but this doesn't really feel like those. Are there any good tutorials for getting started? Do I need to download the primitives or something else separately? (I'm on Linux, if that matters.)

Thanks in advance! I'm excited to try to build some custom LEGO-compatible parts!

Hi all,

Currently I am modelling a lot in LDCad. (when not ;-)
I keep struggling finding some bricks here and there.

For example:
Part 30357 its description is "Plate 3 x 3 with 2 x 2 Corner Round" and is seen as a modified plate
Then 30565 is "Plate 4x4 Corner Round" and is seen as a normal plate?

I have always found this strange. Either both are normal plates or modified IMHO.

I think this has to do with the word... "with" in the description. Does LDCad not categorize parts with "with" in the name, as "modified"?
So we should consider changing the description of 30565 to "Plate 4x4 with Corner Round"?

There are more plates that seem to be categorized as normal, but are in fact modified.

For example:

• Both 39613 and 46342 heart shaped plates. "Plate 3x3 Heart Shape" should be "Plate 3x3 with Heart Shape"?
  
• A real outsider in the normal Plate category IMHO is 4590 Plate 1x4 Offset.
  
• The most strange part in the Plate category, though unofficial, is 50408 Projectile Launcher  2 x 10 x  3 Tornado Spinner Launcher Base. How and why is this a Plate? ;-)
  

I hope it is ok to kindly request this part:

Hello, I'm currently trying to generate images with LDView via terminal on Linux (Ubuntu). I'm using the following command which includes parameters for DefaultLattitude and DefaultLongitude to set the viewing angle:

What's the feeling on a !NEEDS_WORK meta? Would this be better than the current way of doing things?

Here's my proposal

0 !NEEDS_WORK <reason>
Where:
<reason> is a short description of what aspect of the part needs work.

I would like to request part 65589, it seems a difficult one as it looks like it is not on the instruction nor builder app

Thanks

Is there any way to change the red color that is assigned to the imported part. In materials it is called "Material_4_c" and is a dark red. If I change the color in the .dat file before importing, it is still assigned to the Material_4_c color?
If I could change the Material_4_c color that would work?
Thanks
Chris
