  Adding stud.dat seems to corrupt geometry
Posted by: CJ H. - 2025-08-15, 17:14 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (2)

I'm working on a custom part that is basically a face with a 1x2 plate stuck on to the back of it. The face is a complex mesh with about 45k triangles (no quads). 
To be sure my studs will have the correct shading in building instructions developed in Studio, I am adding stud.dat in LDPE. However, that step seems to "corrupt" geometry in some way. After adding the stud.dat lines, the resulting part looks ok in Part Designer, but not in Studio. Many faces have disappeared and the remaining ones look distorted.  
I have confirmed that the files are identical except for the `0 Name:` line and the two lines that reference stud.dat like so: 

Code:
1 16 -10 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 stud.dat
1 16 10 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 stud.dat

I also tried adding the studs in Part Designer, but this had a similar effect.

If I delete the stud.dat refrences, the part works again works as expected in Studio (after a restart). 

Any ideas as to why stud.dat references are causing a problem? 

Apologies for not including images, and thanks in advance.

  Torus naming
Posted by: Peter Blomberg - 2025-08-14, 8:29 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (3)

I need a 5-24 torus (mixed-mode), but primgen2 is denoting any fraction other than the multiples of 2 with "99".
12-48 becomes 04
11-48 becomes 99
10-48 becomes 99
9-48 becomes 99
8-48 becomes 06
7-48 becomes 99
6-48 becomes 08
5-48 becomes 99
4-48 becomes 12
3-48 becomes 16
2-48 becomes 24
Should I just accept the name proposed by primgen2 or think about rotating a smaller prim?

If rotate a prim, then which is better; 6+rotated4 or 8+inlined2 ? The benefit of the latter is that the interface to the blocking element can be tailored.

I just pushed a major update to core front and backend packages. I tried to find any problems but I may have missed some so keep an eye out.

I know of one issue:
- The user u number table is returning a 500 error.

  Sizing error on part 799
Posted by: Peter Grass - 2025-08-11, 16:28 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (10)

An issue with some really really (maybe needs another really added) old parts. Part 799 and part 800 don't fit together like they should. The peg at the bottom of part 799 is the wrong size to fit into the hole of part 800.

  2003 Green Goblin Helmet?
Posted by: Zack - 2025-08-11, 2:18 - Forum: Part Requests - No Replies

Hey, everyone!

I'm curious if anyone has replicated the classic 2003 Green Goblin helmet piece, as I'm in need of it for a project that I'm working on.

It would be a massive help if anyone was able to provide this piece!

Thank you all in advance!

Photo My First Part: Stickers for Set 8225 - (169695)
Posted by: Dharman Gersch - 2025-08-10, 16:05 - Forum: Parts Authoring - No Replies

Hi, 

Could someone please review the attached stickers and offer any feedback for making these compliant?

I'm quite happy with the graphics I've created. The halftone shadow was tricky to do in low poly way. I made separate files for each of the three stickers. 
I decided not to make any deeper levels of subpart for the "5" although it appears on each of the three stickers, due to the complexity of it's interface with the rest of the graphics, and the fact that these stickers only appear in one set.

I'd love to get all the missing parts in this set modelled

  LGEO’s 30076 is rotated
Posted by: Sylvain Sauvage - 2025-08-10, 11:39 - Forum: Rendering Techniques - No Replies

Hi all,

It seems LGEO is basically abandonned but some people are still using it (notably through Studio), so I’m posting here in case someone else has the problem and looks on these forums.  

So the problem is that, as reported in a thread on the Studio forum, the LGEO version of 30076 is rotated 90° (Z).  I checked that Studio is using the same defs as the latest LGEO lib I have and I tested with a standalone POV-Ray install and I get the same results so I can confidently say it’s not this problem.

I made a quick correction (attached; I only added two ‘rotate’ statements) and I’m sending it to the Studo devs.

Bug 40379-1 - Bear Error
Posted by: Dharman Gersch - 2025-08-10, 8:19 - Forum: Official Models - No Replies

Hi, 
I've found that the last digit of the transformation matrix for a flower is missing from 
40379-1 - Bear on line 340

the instruction is

Quote:1 191 -10 -16 -30 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0  24866.dat
however it should be 
Quote:1 191 -10 -16 -30 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 24866.dat

The problem is apparent in several software packages and results in an empty scene in several cases. The 3D view on the OMR attempts to resolve the error which results in an extreme scaling artifact as shown in the attached screen capture. 

I'm not sure how to go about resolving or updating files in the OMR, but I trust someone with more experience will pick this up. 

Thank you!
