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

Reuben

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!

Can we get the issues with the part fixed? Its been on the tracker for 8 years and it's holding stuff up

I am trying to download the file with the updates, but as much as I try at 40mb it stops and there is no way to continue, can someone tell me why?

I am trying to download the complete file because I want to install part 68488 (electric powered up small angular lego spike essential) I have downloaded the supposed parts of that part, I have uploaded them to the zip file and the complete part is not formed, only a part and I don't know what to do, any suggestions?

Hi,

I was editing a model in LDCad and needed brick 3940b (Support 2 x 2 x 2 Stand) and so I searched for "3940".
LDCad finds 4 bricks with "3940" and then crashes.

What causes this?

Even if only one set for now I did not find where else put it

Hello,

how do you check if there is a collision in your model. I have not found anything in MLCad, LDCad I know too little,
Studio is sometimes too unreliable.

Greetings
