im using LeoCAD, i looked at the hotkey shortcuts and couldn't find the shortcut for snapping the camera (not a camera you place, but the default view you use) i couldn't find a shortcut to snap it twords a part you select. For example, on Maya Autodesk, if you click on something and press F the camera frame is snapped onto it. i was wondering if there was no alternative to that here. since it feels very tedious to have to rotate / pan / rotate / pan / rotate / pan / for 30 seconds, and do what on the other hand would take 2 or 3 seconds if you had the options to snap to a part. 

is there no option to snap the camera to a part in LeoCAD? or did i just overlook it?

is there no key shortcut to snap a piece to the center of view? 

for example on Maya Autodesk ,if you had something selected and pressed F, it would bring that object to the center of the frame, in other words it would bring the frame to that object where it would then be centered on it and the rotation of the camera would be orientated around it aswell. 

is there no shortcut for bringing the camera frame to a part?

One thing that was bothering me for the all time I was using LDraw-powered software, and especially after I started making parts for the repository, is that the npegholes are very oddly unsmoothed. It doesn't look good, it is not accurate, and requires not that much work to do. Maybe update this set of primitives to make corners a bit rounded?

1. As shown in the picture above, some parts are missing, how to solve this problem?

I was not able to find 24783 on the parts tracker. 
I would like to use it in my moc. Can I request this part?
If it is very difficult to make, could you give me some advice? I really need this detail in 3d

Hi all,

I flexed a part in LDCad which needs to be rendered in Studio. In Studio instruction maker, the part looks fine, but when I render it has gaps:


That's the catalog (unflexed) part on top and the flexed part on the bottom. 

Maybe this is a hint: I notice something I haven't seen before in the file: the flexed part has a subfile. It says:

Hey guys,

Here's my first build! 

Can I please get some help from someone more proficient at advanced editing. I need to feed the gas line and the supercharger belt correctly and I've spend all day being unable to get the 'insert' button to do what it should. I'm sure I'm just repeatedly making noob mistakes because I've managed to get the other two belts on correctly.

I'd really like some feedback on this build. I spent about a week with it on my desk as a paperweight before being urged to share it and came across this website and program(s).

As someone who uses (Auto)CAD professionally, I appreciate that this community exists: it's clearly useful and very functional, so thanks for any additional input/support!

Enjoy!
Alex

Newb Question:

Is there a way to shape the rubber belts around the pulleys? I am using LeoCAD, but will use whatever to accomplish this for my instructions.

Thanks in advance,
Alex

Hi

When new numbers comes on the same brick, I would like to know, if it is possible to find a file (text?) where I can find all the numbers ?
