Hello, I can see the "parts tracker discussion" sub forum but when I went to reply to a thread, I was given a dialog that indicates I dont have permission to reply.
I was trying to view the new parts tracker beta and received a Server 500 Error.
I further tested it and I cannot reply to that thread or any other in the Parts Tracker Discussion area.

Hi all,
In this thread on the Studio forum, people are annoyed that one can’t make in-system/stud-aligned parallel tracks with those parts in Studio.
As there’s (still) problems with the 12V tracks connectors, I thought it was also a connection problem, and the devs tried to correct the connectors… but it’s actually the geometry that leads to the mis-alignement (and it can’t be cheated by moving the connectors).
There’s also comments/questionnings in the tracker (lastly from Steffen) about the accuracy of the geometry.
So,—and all this is just for info, I’m certainly not demanding anything—, can these parts make in-system/stud-aligned parallel tracks in real life? And is someone working on them or thinking about it?

Cannot open include file lg_defs.inc |

It's been a very long time since I last tried to use POVRAY. I just now exported a model from LDView into POVRAY, but when I try to render this model in POVRAY, I get the error message "Parse Error: Cannot open include file lg_defs.inc".
I've tried searching tis site (not just the Forums), and I've searched Google as well, but I cannot find anything that actually helps me fix this error.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Franklin

The LDraw that never was… |

Following up on some nostalgia from here, I thought it would be interesting to look at what was probably the earliest coordinated project to develop a Lego CAD system—what should have turned into LDraw, but for some reason, didn't:
https://groups.google.com/g/alt.toys.leg...fZp59Cv88J
It's not the very earliest post on the topic, but it does go into remarkable details about how the program would work, how it would be developed and by whom. This project was spearheaded by Alex Devries (who credits Hayes Harper for the original idea).
Like I said, this appears to be the beginnings of what would become the LDraw project…but it isn't. So I'm wondering about a few things:
- What ever came of this project? Did any code ever get written, in any meaningful amount?
- Was the mailing list set up for this project the precursor to the LCAD list that gave rise to this forum, or was it always totally separate?
- How similar is this proposal to what James ultimately put into LDraw/LEdit, and how is it substantially different?
- Are there capabilities proposed in this system that never quite made into the LDraw format? (For example, it seems that interactivity was conceived as part of the language, so that the motion and speed of a part in a model would be recorded in the model's source code.)
Anyway, a fascinating piece of LDraw (pre-)history, regardless!
