  Angles

The texture map specification doesn't mention that the angles are in degrees. Perhaps it should.

  Issue with hemisphere part with textures
Posted by: Toby Nelson - 2024-01-15, 10:14 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (20)

This affects the textured parts 61287p01.dat,  61287p02.dat,  61287p03.dat,  61287p04.dat: "Cylinder Hemisphere  2 x  2 with Cutout" with textures

The textures for these parts show Mercator-like maps. The Mercator projection is an example of a CYLINDRICAL projection (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercator_projection, which references https://archive.org/details/Snyder1987Ma...1/mode/2up).

But the part has defined a SPHERICAL texture map. This makes the lines of latitude curved instead of straight.

The fix is a one line change in each file, like so:

0 !TEXMAP START CYLINDRICAL 0 0 0 0 -46 0 -26 0 0 180 61287p01rb.png

replacing with the appropriate png file in each case.

  Rename some axlehol primitives
Posted by: Magnus Forsberg - 2024-01-13, 21:50 - Forum: Parts Tracker Discussion - Replies (4)

I want to separate the axle primitives from the axle hole primitives, but some names are now confusing.

After the redesign of the axlehole primitive families there are now three primitives that are named axleholX but should only be used in axles. These are only used in different axle designs, but are named as if they are a primitive for an axle hole.

axlehol8.dat  "Technic Axle Hole Perimeter"
[Image: 200px-Axlehol8.png]
axlehol9.dat  "Technic Axle Hole Tooth Inner Edges"
[Image: 200px-Axlehol9.png]
axleho10.dat   "Technic Axle Hole Tooth Surface"
[Image: 200px-Axleho10.png]



Is there a way to rename them, and perhaps prohibit them from being used in a design as a hole primitive?
Or would it be enough to only sort them on the prim ref page?


And as a side note, do we need a new primitive for an axle hole with open ends? I don't think we do.
 axl2hol8.dat
[Image: 200px-Axl2hol8.png]  
axl3hol8.dat
 [Image: 200px-Axl3hol8.png]

Note how the surfaces in the 3 axlXhol8 prims are oriented.
axlehol8 have the surface facing outwards, while the other 2 have it facing inwards, as a hole.

  Braille Bricks descriptions
Posted by: Magnus Forsberg - 2024-01-12, 17:53 - Forum: Parts Tracker Discussion - Replies (4)

I've been trying to wrap my head around the LEGO braille bricks, and how we should describe them.  
https://library.ldraw.org/tracker/33567

The inventory so far looks like this, but non of the sites have complete info yet.

   

It's pretty clear that we need to have some sort of standard here.

  • Where should the word "Braille" be placed?
  • How do we describe the physical stud pattern?
  • Should they all have their different language in the description? Many are common, and other are unique.
  • Should we include the Braille Unicode character?
  • How do we describe all the language specific letters, and symbols?
  • Keywords?

My suggestion is this:
"Brick 2 x 4 Braille [stud position] with [language] "[printed pattern]" Pattern"

Steffen suggested this, on 60198p01:
"Brick 2 x 4 with 1 Stud Braille Dots-1 ⠁ A 1"

Rene used this on 60198p01:
"Brick Braille 2 x 4 with 1 Stud (DOTS-1) with A1 Pattern"
