  [LDPE] 1.8.64 Released (rectifier defaults / usability / txt2dat)
Posted by: Nils Schmidt - 2023-02-24, 19:49 - Forum: Parts Author Tools - Replies (4)

Hey,

this release will provide four small improvements.

[Image: attachment.php?aid=12753]

As always, you can download LDPE from this page:

http://nilsschmidt1337.github.io/ldparteditor/

Changelog:

(4 new features)

With this release you will be able to...

  • ...benefit from a new Rectifier default setting (it will not convert quad to rect when the quad has adjacent condlines by default (results in smoother surfaces)).
  • ...use the "Copy" command on the icon bar at the bottom of the tab, mirrored from the contextual of the "Problems" tab
  • ...have a single background bounding rectangle for the whole string (txt2dat).
  • ...use an alternative option to not have a background but only the characters themselves (txt2dat).

The program was tested intensively with "real world" files.
However, something can go wrong in about 140.000 lines of code.

Installation on Windows:

  1. Download and extract LDPartEditor_win32_x64.zip
  2. Run LDPartEditor-1.8.64.msi
  3. Start LDPartEditor from the start menu
Installation on Linux:

  1. Download and extract LDPartEditor_linux_x64.zip
  2. Install ldparteditor_1.8.64-1_amd64.deb
  3. Start LDPartEditor from the menu or via launcher
Installation on Mac OS X:

  1. Download and extract LDPartEditor_mac_x64.zip
  2. Mount LDPartEditor-1.8.64.dmg
  3. Drag LDPartEditor.app to the Applications folder
  4. Copy ldparteditor.sh to your home folder
        4a. Open a Terminal.app and run ./ldparteditor.sh
        4b. Or open a Terminal.app and run /Applications/LDPartEditor.app/Contents/MacOS/LDPartEditor

I listen carefully to your requests and possible complaints. Please leave me a message, with your thoughts and wishes to further improve the software.

LDPE is a 3D CAD application: The overall system requirements are higher. While I recommend to use a powerful 64-bit multicore system, it could be possible, to run LDPE on older machines as well.

System Requirements:

Minimum System Requirements:
  • OpenGL 2.1 compatible Graphics Card
  • Operating System (64-bit): Windows [7 or newer], Linux [e.g. Ubuntu Linux >=14.4], Mac OS X [>=10.6]
  • CPU: Multicore-Processor e.g. Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Athlon II (>2.0Ghz)
  • RAM: 4GB
  • Video-Memory: 1 GB
  • Free Disk Space: 100 MB
Recommended Requirements:
  • Operating System (64bit): Windows 7,8,10, Linux [e.g. Ubuntu Linux >=14.4], Mac OS X [>=10.6]
  • OpenGL 3.3 compatible Graphics Card
  • CPU: Multicore-Processor with 4 cores (or more)
  • RAM: >4 GB
  • Video-Memory: >1 GB
  • Free Disk Space: 512 MB
  • For a faster start, LDPartEditor and the LDraw™ library should be installed on an SSD.

  Head, hair and torso (LEGO Bricktales)
Posted by: Jaco van der Molen - 2023-02-23, 12:39 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (1)

Hi all,

Can someone identfy this head, hair and torso?
The head has a stubble beard.

It is a somewhat vague images, screenshot from the LEGO Bricktales game.

Is it original and existing?
If so, are they in LDraw?

  invalid utf8 in part 2902 (2902s1.dat)
Posted by: Jonathan N - 2023-02-21, 23:44 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (4)

Hello! I'm new to these forums, so sorry if this is the wrong place. I'm working on code to load ldraw files and noticed that not all parts seem to use valid utf8. The file "LDraw\parts\s\2902s01.dat" contains comment lines that don't decode properly as utf8 in programming languages like Python or Rust due to a missing continuation byte. The comment renders in some editors as "0 Cran creus�". I would expect the e with an accent to be C3A9 in hex, but the file is only using the single byte E9. The entire phrase appears in the file as 3020 4372616E 20637265 7573E9. LDView displays the text just fine as "0 Cran creusé". Is this part valid? Should programs match the behavior of LDView?

Thumbs Up Elf Hair (10055pb01)
Posted by: Marcos Alfonzo - 2023-02-19, 20:42 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (6)

This hair piece for the elves can be used in Stud.io if downloaded from this page, but its design is not complete: the ears must be colored light nougat, so when used in Stud.io, the change of color affects only the hair. Would it be possible for someone to adapt this detail of the piece? I would greatly appreciate the help.

  Pagination on lists
Posted by: Orion Pobursky - 2023-02-19, 4:04 - Forum: Parts Tracker Discussion - Replies (2)

The parts list and search were designed in an era when there were hundreds of parts and no thumbnails. Now with thousands of parts and images it bogs down page loading or is causing out of memory error especially the parts list or searches with a large amount of search results.

Does any have any persuasive opinions on why pagination should not be used?

  History lines are gone

Looks like something just erased history lines on Part Tracker from existence. Don't see any single one on any of files

Thumbs Up New technic curved panel
Posted by: SNIPE - 2023-02-15, 20:43 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (1)

Set 60361 Ultimate Stunt Riders Challenge has a new technic panel that can be joined together to create a 15 diameter ring

 [Image: ukX8mHQ.png]

it has pinholes on all 4 'lugs' and the two lugs on one end are 1L further in compared to the other two lugs on the opposite side which allows several of them to be joined together.

I can't find the part ID yet but it has the same curvature as the recently added LDRAW part 3250

Here is more footage of the parts geometry: https://youtu.be/8CViBKgg_E0?t=266

  Parts not showing
Posted by: garrett - 2023-02-14, 18:36 - Forum: Help - Replies (1)

I imported my model and only two parts are not showing.  I cross-referenced them in Rebrickable and imported the DAT files from the official page.  But every time I upload the file they still do not appear. 

part: 93609 and 49308
