The string parts are a mess. Lets figure out what we want to do and get them off the PT

Why do we care about this again? I came across this comment from Chris and it got me thinking:

I think consistency within the Architecture tiles alone would make letter prims useful but I forgot why we cared enough to stop.

Hello, this is my first post so I hope I can do things right.

I am starting a project to re-create the 1978 Catalog LEGOLAND Town in Studio 2.0, as well as my first ever LEGO set,  6258 - Smuggler's Shanty. I have struggled to find a couple of patterned parts, and I was referred to LDraw by the Bricklink help page. I can't find the parts in the Part Tracker, so I decided to write a post in the forum asking for them. If the parts already exist and I am posting this unnecessarily, I would be glad if you can correct me and teach me where to find them. 

The parts are:

1. A red-haired old pirate head with an eye patch and red short beard (there is a similar pattern available in Studio, but with black hair):
- 3626bpb0082 - BrickLink
- 3626bpr0027 - Rebrickable

2. A white Shell road sign that is slightly curved (I can't even find the part without the pattern):
- x454pb01 - BrickLink 
- upn0252pr0001 - Rebrickable

Hello,

Would any author have both the will and time to work on the new parts: 1745 and 1748?

Currently a fallback pattern is not required for TEXMAP parts. I've been musing making it a requirement that a fallback be used even if it is lower quality than the TEXMAP image.

Thoughts?

Any chance we can get some reviews/fixes for this parts?

Also, I 'd love for the patterned versions to be converted to use traditional geometry instead of TEXMAPs but that's a much more daunting task.

Hey,

this release includes three bugfixes.
One corrects the condlines which are generated by PrimGen2 for all tori types.
The problem: the condline coordinate was calculated in a different way than the coordinate of the quad, which resulted in minor differences.

The other two bugfixes are solving display problems with TEXMAP. I noticed the issues while I was checking 2454aps5.dat.




As always, you can download LDPE from this page:

Changelog:

(3 bug fixes)

With this release the following critical issues are fixed:

1. The generated condline coordinates for the Torus from PrimGen2 did not match the coordinates of the generated quads.
   
2. The transparency calculation for TEXMAP images was incorrect on the old OpenGL 2 renderer.
   
3. Fallback geometry in TEXMAP sections was shown (in LDraw Standard render mode with the old OpenGL 2 renderer).

What's the best/safest place to download a copy of SR 3D Builder? There seem to be many sites offering downloads of this program.

Is there an "official" website for SR 3D builder anymore?

I used to have a copy on my old laptop and I seem to have lost the original install files.

Thanks

New thread since the old one is getting unwieldy

Hello,

I have a problem with LDCad 1.6d in Windows 11 where my rubber bands turn up "invisible".

All I can see is the projected path of where the rubberband is supposed to go.

Went into the "TEMPLATES" bin and selected the "Rubber band templates" sub bin.

In that bin I have 2 choices: Either round or square rubberband.
They are shown as identical round dotted lines in the bin.
I picked the one marked as round.

I selected a rubber color (red) and placed the band where I wanted it. No rubberband visible, just its path.

Switched editing mode to "NESTED", still no visible rubberband, just the projected path AND it's control handles.
You can see my issue in the picture below. It's taken while in "NORMAL" editing or "VIEW" mode... they look identical so doesn't matter which.
Am I not supposed to see the actual rubberband until I render it or am I missing something?

   

Thank you in advance for any help and / or advice!
