  Minifig Hips and Legs with Pearl Grey Wooden Leg Right Pattern
Posted by: Willy Tschager - 2023-06-19, 6:36 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (1)

Guys,

we have a bit of mismatch between:

https://library.ldraw.org/tracker/31943
https://library.ldraw.org/tracker/31944
https://library.ldraw.org/tracker/31945

BL distinguishes between:

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogList.as...tring=1116

Hips and 1 Black Left Leg, 1 Flat Silver Pirate Peg Leg
Hips and 1 Black Left Leg, 1 Pearl Dark Gray Pirate Peg Leg
Hips and 1 Black Left Leg, 1 Pearl Light Gray Pirate Peg Leg


* Hips and 1 Black Left Leg, 1 Pearl Light Gray Pirate Peg Leg

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn....70d05&in=S

comes just in 4767 and can be found also in Brickset:

https://brickset.com/parts/4268451/hip-w...eg-col-131


* Hips and 1 Black Left Leg, 1 Flat Silver Pirate Peg Leg

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn....70d16&in=S

seams to be limited to LEGENDS OF CHIMA and would probably corrispond to 179 - Pearl_Silver

Brickset lists it as:

https://brickset.com/parts/4624825/hip-w...g-left-leg


* Hips and 1 Black Left Leg, 1 Pearl Dark Gray Pirate Peg Leg

https://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn....70d12&in=S

looks almost identical to the above and would corrispond 147 - to Pearl_Dark_Grey

Brickset lists it as:

https://brickset.com/parts/6237256/hip-w...g-left-leg

Do you thing this is correct? Any comments are welcome.

Is anybody working on this part?
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/cat...#T=C&C=157
It is used in the Thanos big figure and some other sets.
Hopefully it would be able to use existing  torus primitives.

  Getting started
Posted by: Daniel Helland - 2023-06-17, 16:49 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (1)

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!

Daniel

  Inconsistancy in description
Posted by: Jaco van der Molen - 2023-06-15, 8:11 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (3)

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? ;-)

The list goes on....

What about 6161 Plate 1x1 round? Normal or modified. We cannot add the word "with" to its description. Could remain normal then.

Does anyone feel the same as me, and think that a Plate is only a straight plate (1x1, 1x2, 1x3, ...., 2x2, 2x3, 2x4, ..., 4x6, 8x10, etc, etc)
All other "plates" should be Plate Modified.
Then again, decisions should be made about plates like the 2x2 Corner plate (2420) and 4x4 Corner (2639).
The could be normal plates.

What do you all think?

We had the same discussion about some tiles I think?
A real outsiders here for example is 30358 Tile 2x2 with Jet Engine.
Shouldn't there be a "Tile Modified" category, so again, tiles are only tiles without any modification.
We could use the word "with" here to filter that out and create a new bin in LDCad, I think?

The same goes for some Bricks too BTW: 30136 Brick 1x2 log for example is a "normal" brick, not "modified....

  Image generation via terminal doesn't respect viewing angles
Posted by: Henning B. - 2023-06-14, 8:38 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (6)

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:

Code:
LDView /home/XXX/ldraw/ldrawdb/parts/608p33.dat -SaveWidth=516 -SaveHeight=516 -DefaultLatitude=90 -DefaultLongitude=-120 -SaveSnapshot=608p33.png -SaveZoomToFit=1 -SaveAlpha=1 -LineSmoothing=1 -DefaultColor3=0xBFBFBF -LightVector=-0.125,0.125,1

The problem is that the generated image is always viewed from the same direction, no matter what I set for Longitude and Latitude. However when I just open LDView with this command:

Code:
LDView /home/XXX/ldraw/ldrawdb/parts/608p33.dat-DefaultLatitude=90 -DefaultLongitude=-120

the viewing angle changes according to the parameters. So the problem only exists when I actually want to save Snapshots.

Does anyone know a solution for this?

  !NEEDS_WORK Meta command
Posted by: Orion Pobursky - 2023-06-12, 20:49 - Forum: Official File Specifications/Standards - Replies (3)

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.
