For band/belt templates in LDCad, the radius of a point is measured to the center of the path. I thought it would be handy to offset the path skin so that its inner edge follow the radius (i.e., the radius of the point is the same as the part it goes around).

I thought adjusting the alignment parameter was the way to do this, but it didn't work. It just breaks the path into segments with wide gaps (and they aren't noticeably offset from center).

Is there a simple way to adjust the template to do this? Or would I have to create a donor part with the origin shifted (and would that even work)?

Hello,

I am trying to implement the -CommandLinesList feature from LDView 4.4 into my application.
To do so, I created a text file that looks like this:


  temp.txt (Size: 781 bytes / Downloads: 8)

I then have the following situation: When I run ~/LdView64.exe -CommandLinesList=my_file.txt in the command line, the five .ldr files that are specified get exported to .pov format.
However, the INITIAL values (lat 50, long -111, zoom 0.56 in this case) are used throughout ALL five .ldr files. So for all five models, I have the same viewing angle which is not what I want.

Does anyone have an idea for why this occurs?
Thanks in advance

here are the .ldr files

  4035_70_0.ldr (Size: 52 bytes / Downloads: 3)
  4035_110_3.ldr (Size: 53 bytes / Downloads: 1)
  4035_128_1.ldr (Size: 53 bytes / Downloads: 0)
  4035_14_4.ldr (Size: 52 bytes / Downloads: 0)
  4035_17_2.ldr (Size: 52 bytes / Downloads: 0)

Hello, I am hoping someone here could build this part (93696pb03) in a CAD software. I would like to be able to make Togruta characters, such as Ahsoka Tano, in LEGO designer programs but I don't believe anyone has made this part in a CAD program before. I would be extremely grateful to anyone who makes this part.

Many thanks for help !

(For those not familiar, !FLOAT is my proposed, imaginary meta command that temporarily overrides the displayed position and other parameters of a part in an LDraw editor or BI maker. It is intended to replace older concepts like buffer exchange, which is confusing and requires extra copies of parts to be added to a model.)

I was investigating a bug report for LDCad regarding 58122 not wanting to inline.

It turns out that is because it contains skewed and mirrored parts, which imho is not needed and should be prevented in shotcut/alias parts.

The issues are:

Rough 0.033 in other wise '1 1 1' rotation matrices  (e.g  0 0 -1   0.033 1 0   1 0 0)
The blue slid direction switch is mirrored (and also has the 0.033 rounding error), using "0 0 -1 0 1 0 1 0 0" works for both red and blue sliders no need to mirror.

Hey all, I've shared my "Most Common Parts" analysis in the past, as it is a good way to find common parts that are missing from the LDraw catalog.

This part is Arm and Hand Long with Technic Pin that was introduced in the LEGO Super Mario line. It is very similar to 28660, but a little longer in the curved part of the arm.

Thanks to anyone who can help!

(Probably for Roland but if someone else has worked this out, please chip in).

Context:
I'm trying to write a (Lua) animation script which will rotate the 3rd person view camera around the Y axis starting at the current view, rather than the start point used in the sample script. From the sample scripts, I can see the purpose of the first two arguments (helped by the description in LD4Studio documentation) but I'm struggling to understand the purpose next 3 angle (?) related arguments. The sample script in the function OnCameraFrame ...
