  RCX 1.0/1.5/2.0 Modules
Posted by: Orion Pobursky - 2022-07-18, 14:20 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (28)

Here's a guide to numbering for the RCX modules for someone looking to create 1.5 and 2.0:

RCX 1.0 module:

76048: Complete Assembly
32109 (already made): Battery cover
32110: IR "glass" on the front
32116: The green, lower part where the batteries go
32058: The yellow, upper part without the clear plastic screen protector and unprinted
32058p01: 30258 with RCX 1.0 Pattern
32108: The clear plastic screen protector
76113: The yellow, upper part with the clear plastic screen protector
6554 (Already made): The electrical plates, plastic portion
75212: 6554 plus the metal electrical contacts
71748: The circuit board
71645: The gray/green button assembly and the black/red button assembly

Since the top of 884 (the full assembly) is hard coded yellow and I think that part should be color 16, we're going to obsolete 884 and create a new complete assembly with the correct number

RCX 1.5 module:

76454 or 76454c01: Complete Assembly
32109 (already made): Battery cover
32110: IR "glass" on the front
32116: The green, lower part where the batteries go
32374: The yellow, upper part without the clear plastic screen protector and unprinted
32374p01: 32058 with RCX 1.5 Pattern
32108: The clear plastic screen protector
32374p01c01: The yellow, upper part with the clear plastic screen protector (no number known, unlike 1.0)
6554 (Already made): The electrical plates, plastic portion
75212: 6554 plus the metal electrical contacts
?: The circuit board
71645: The gray/green button assembly and the black/red button assembly

RCX 2.0 module:

76454a or uXXXX or 76454c02 : Complete Assembly
32109 (already made): Battery cover
32110: IR "glass" on the front
32116: The green, lower part where the batteries go
32374: The yellow, upper part without the clear plastic screen protector and unprinted
32374p02: 32058 with RCX 2.0 Pattern
32108: The clear plastic screen protector
32374p02c01: The yellow, upper part with the clear plastic screen protector (no number known, unlike 1.0)
6554 (Already made): The electrical plates, plastic portion
75212: 6554 plus the metal electrical contacts
?: The circuit board
71645: The gray/green button assembly and the black/red button assembly

This post will be update as numbers are known.

  Library spec suggestion
Posted by: Orion Pobursky - 2022-07-16, 13:09 - Forum: Official File Specifications/Standards - Replies (4)

By my reckoning, there are 3 major areas of concern for a library part:

  • Part number or filename
  • Geometry (including origin and orientation)
  • Header, the most focused on aspect being description.

Right now those requirements are spread out over 3 documents with the header/description rules further split between the header spec and the library spec. While splitting the spec like this seemed like a good idea at the time, I'm not so sure now. I think that one definitive document with good categorization and layout may be the way to go.

Thoughts?

  Sticker Shortcut clarification
Posted by: Orion Pobursky - 2022-07-15, 20:53 - Forum: Official File Specifications/Standards - No Replies

I've already received LSB concurrence for this but I realized that while it was discussion in another thread, it was never really discussed on it's own.

The following will be added to the Sticker Shortcuts section of the library spec
https://www.ldraw.org/article/512.html#s..._shortcuts

Quote:The description for sticker shortcuts should be in the following format:
<base part description> with <sticker description> Sticker

Where:
<base part description> is the base part description verbatim
<sticker description> is the sticker description after "Sticker <dimensions>|<shape>"

Example:
Base Part 11477: Slope Brick Curved 2 x 1
Sticker 6142622m: Sticker 1.9 x 0.8 with Black Headlamp on Yellow Background Right
Sticker Shortcut: Slope Brick Curved 2 x 1 with Black Headlamp on Yellow Background Right Sticker

Barring any major objections, this change is effective immediately. I will wait to search and correct parts on the PT to allow for discussion to take place.

  "invisible" condlines for fine shading
Posted by: Max Murtazin - 2022-07-13, 17:58 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (6)

While modifying some stuff about part 50898, I have encountered a bit of a problem. There was a situation that required to use condlines with all points being on the same plane. It it okay? Or maybe there are some ways to work around such problems? If not use that condline at all, software like LDView gives off a pretty bad picture in terms of shading with edges appearing sharp when they clearly should be not that way

  Add keyword to part
Posted by: Jaco van der Molen - 2022-07-12, 10:57 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (19)

Hi all,

I'd like to suggest adding the keyword "cheese" (and/or "cheese slope") to 54200.
And all patterned versions of that piece.

Perhaps to 85984 too?

Thanks.

Jaco

  PLI randomly not visualized
Posted by: Manarin - 2022-07-12, 7:45 - Forum: General LDraw.org Discussion - Replies (3)

Hi,
I'm new to this forum so forgive me if I'm doing something wrong.
I serched a tred that deal about my problem, but I didn't find enything.

So here is my problem. It's a week or so that LPUB doesn't show the PLI on each step.
It works on some and it doesen't on others, moreover, if I go back and forth in the pages, the PLI changes, even the BOM at the end of the file changes.

There is someone that can help me?

Thanks in advance


Ivan

  Finn the Human Minifigure
Posted by: Gabin Marlin - 2022-07-12, 3:59 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (3)

Hi Guys,

I recently got into making lego animations and wanted to make an animation using Finn from adventure time. I'm mainly looking for the hat as I was able to recreate the rest of his minifig easily. I searched through LDraw, digital bricks, and Brick Link Studios but was unable to find the hat. I know the model exists as I've seen a few images of the 3d model but haven't been able to find the actual model. I would appreciate any help in finding the hat!

Thanks!
Gabin Marlin!

  Strange Krana moment
Posted by: Max Murtazin - 2022-07-11, 20:45 - Forum: Parts Tracker Discussion - Replies (1)

Just noticed that there is a strange situation with Krana Vu. For some reason, one of it's subfiles, the half of the part one, is in the official library. Meanwhile model itself is not. Probably it should be reviewed, and if anything is okay certified? I don't think it's okay to have a subfile be floating in the official part library without the part itself

Subfile: https://www.ldraw.org/parts/official-par...s/42042s01
Part: https://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.c.../42042.dat
