  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.

  Importing into Blender
Posted by: Chris Kiepfer - 2023-06-10, 7:38 - Forum: Help - No Replies

Is there any way to change the red color that is assigned to the imported part. In materials it is called "Material_4_c" and is a dark red. If I change the color in the .dat file before importing, it is still assigned to the Material_4_c color?
If I could change the Material_4_c color that would work?
Thanks
Chris

  Sorting .dat files
Posted by: Chris Kiepfer - 2023-06-09, 21:47 - Forum: Help - Replies (5)

Hi,
Is there any way to sort the .dat files by the category, the first line in the file is the category. I want to sort all the files into groups by category.
There are too many files to open each one manually.
Thanks
Chris

  [LDPE] 1.8.68 Released (rotation lock on view / formatted "Name:"+"Author:")
Posted by: Nils Schmidt - 2023-06-04, 20:54 - Forum: Parts Author Tools - Replies (2)

Hey,

this version provides a "lock" button in the 3D editor to lock the rotation of the view.
It also adds some formatting to the "Name:" and "Author:" lines in the text editor.

Side notes:
I am currently learning the Rust programming language and the Vulkan API.

[Image: attachment.php?aid=12753]

As always, you can download LDPE from this page:

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

Changelog:

(2 new features and 1 bug fix)

With this release you will be able to...

  • ...lock/unlock the viewport rotation.
  • ...see "Author:" and "Name:" formatted as bold and italic in the text editor.

The following critical issue is fixed:

  1. The "Browse..." button for the Background Picture path opened a dialog to "save" the image instead of "open".

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-1.8.68.msi
  3. Start LDPartEditor from the start menu
Installation on Linux:

  1. Download and extract LDPartEditor_linux_x64.zip
  2. Install ldparteditor_1.8.68-1_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-1.8.68.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.

Exclamation Lpub always crashes
Posted by: Hannes - 2023-06-03, 3:10 - Forum: LDraw File Processing and Conversion - Replies (1)

I have made a model in Ldraw. It has 4950 parts, about 200 submodels, 260 steps and some Templates. First time I tried to open it in Lpub. It opens and generates 3740 pages, every single step on a separate page. When I tried to modify the size of the model and partlist images, it crashes without any notice. I have read some posts to solve the problem on my own, made some changes in the setup. Now it doesn't open the model any more, it crashes without opening the data. First question is how to restore the defaults and second question is how to open the model with reduced image sizes? Is there a way to force it placing 3 or more steps on one page to reduce the page number?
