I just installed the LDCAD. When I create a new model, I cannot see the panel for display the parts, and also the color pie. How can I enable or show the panel?

Many thanks

  Updating the 2x2 round family?
Posted by: N. W. Perry - 2023-01-27, 16:54 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (7)

Right now this is just a question, before I propose to actually do anything…but have we ever considered improving the geometry of the 2x2 round family of parts?

  • Brick 3941
  • Plate 4032
  • Tile 4150
  • etc.…

Specifically, the area around the stud notches tends to be 16-sided, non-primitive geometry, which matches well with the 16-sided curved prims that make up the bulk of the parts. But when rendered with prim sub, there is a noticeable flattening and/or seams around the stud notches.

I assume the easiest approach would be to upgrade the curved prims to hi-res versions, and to increase the number of facets in the non-prim geometry around the stud notches to match. But I wondered if this has ever been proposed before, and whether any consensus was reached on whether or how to go about it?

  Spiked Tall Top Hair (24787)
Posted by: Reece QK - 2023-01-27, 5:13 - Forum: Part Requests - No Replies

Hey Again!
Looking for part 24787 Spiked Tall Top Hairpiece aka Syndrome's Hair from the Disney CMF.
Hoping to use it for the Bride of Frankenstein if colored dark brown and had a little printing. Would love to render this minifig in 3D with hair if I can find the file!

I think the Syndrome hair would look surprisingly good (I've tested it in photoshop) - although a specific "Bride" hairpiece would be ideal if my Ideas set were to be created. Thank you for your help so far!

  LPub3D Bom
Posted by: Andreas Hinz - 2023-01-26, 15:19 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - No Replies

Hello everybody,

I tried to generate a BOM to my istruction and wanted to include part IDs. But although I setup the concerning configuration as described, the part numbers will not show up in the BOM.

I found several posts from Trevor describing how to trigger LPub3D to download a new part elements file it didn't work.

Does anybody know how to download that file manually?

Regards

Andreas

  Monster Hair (93556) - Hair Piece
Posted by: Reece QK - 2023-01-25, 4:53 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (2)

Hey There!

Working on a project for Lego Ideas in the style of classic Monster Fighters sets and would like to use many of those great pieces. 
Currently,  there doesn't seem to be any piece for the "Monster Hair/Frankenstein Head", which has gone through a few different variations. 
Such an interesting piece that comes in a few colors - all of which are printed. I can understand why it may have yet to be included.
If someone with modeling experience could help me out, I'd be so grateful!
Thanks!

  Part Request: Formed & Floating version of 38301 Cape
Posted by: Matthew Coleman - 2023-01-24, 20:17 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (11)

Hey there, I would personally like to see a floating version of Part 38301: Minifigure Cape Cloth Scalloped with 6 Points.

https://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.c.../38301.dat


The reason why I'm asking for this variant is because my Mojo Jojo minifigure's cape makes the grid base in BrickLink Studio sink.

   

Thank you for reading.

  LPub3D System Editor
Posted by: Andreas Hinz - 2023-01-23, 16:10 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - No Replies

Hello everybody,

I'm working with LDCad and LPub3D since about 3 months and I like both apps very much. In my opinion they are still the best apps for construction and for making building instructions.
Regarding LPub3D I have one question concerning the system editor. Although I have set the system editor in the "Open With Setup" menu to notepad++ LPub3D always uses the internal editor, when opening those parameter files and so on.

Did anyone of you guys experience the same issue?

Thanks in advance for your support an greetings from Bremen, Germany
