I am trying to find the torus2.dat file for the rollercoaster 10303 model, where 3 parts are missing.
I am still on that torus2.dat file.
where do I find that one?
I'm very new to LDPartsEditor (<1 day), but I seem to be missing how to perform what seems to be an easy task. Namely, how to split a given triangle/quadrangle along a specific axis.
For example, given the following part, I simply want to make the yellow side (right) look like the orange side (left). I tried to combine two triangles into a quadrangle but then couldn't see how to divide that in the manner desired. Tried splitting a triangle, adding vertices...
We currently have 6 Part Type for the !LDRAW_ORG statement. They all, in my understanding, refer to a specific folder in the library:
Code:
Part => parts
Subpart => part/s
Primitive => p
8_Primitive => p/8
48_Primitive => p/48
Shortcut => parts
This is what I'm enforcing in the submit validation on the tracker.
Additionally, the Name: line is supposed to have the folder below parts/p in the name (e.g. 48\1-4cyli.dat).
Therefore if a part is an 8_Primitive it should be in the p\8 folder and have the name of "8\<filename>.dat".
There are, however, parts in the library that do not meet this standard. I thought I corrected most of them but bug report by Willy revealed this problem to be much more widespread that I had originally thought. The list follows. While this is easy to correct, a list this large is making me think that perhaps I'm being too strict with validation and this is not a rule we should enforce.
Looking through some parts, noticed that there is, surprisingly, no sphere layer primitives. I think it could be useful for cases, which uses spherical geometry other than the full sphere, half, quarter or 1/8. So, here I present those.
General naming scheme is n-16sphely. n-16 is used same way as in flat circular primitives, and can be n-8 or n-4, while y stands for the layer of sphere. Picture below shows layers from 1 to 4, left to right:
