Thumbs Up part request: 77765
Posted by: SNIPE - 2021-09-14, 16:54 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (6)

hi,

Any updates on the part: 77765 pin 3L frictionless with end stop

I get 200 of them in 2 days so I can post pictures if needed.

I tried to make a quick and dirty DAT file myself by shifting the middle stop ring across on a regular 3L pin, but couldn't find the subfile which contained the middle stop ring, seems it was not just nested in a single level subfile so things for too hairy for my experience of making parts, and I gave up.

Thanks, Snipe

Thumbs Up Part 67095 Tile Round 3x3 - Help understanding which face is which?
Posted by: ShireBrickz.com - 2021-09-14, 1:01 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (2)

Hi people,

After a little help with part 67095 (Round Tile 3x3). I'm trying to create a pattern for it using LDPC and have attempted to create a template for it using LDPE.

The problem is that there seem to be multiple "top faces" mixed from the 67095.dat file and the various subparts. additionally deleting the top face also deletes the inner faces too.

Any help working out the mix of shapes and sub shapes appreciated.

Cheers

I don’t know if this part is on LDraw, but I’d like to request it if it’s not uploaded yet. It’s Mojo Jojo’s braincap from The Powerpuff Girls.

  LDraw terminology for part anatomy
Posted by: tom alphin - 2021-09-12, 22:26 - Forum: General LDraw.org Discussion - Replies (6)

Hi,
Some of you may know me from my book The LEGO Architect or my brickarchtiect.com website.  I'm always looking for ways to simplify the more confusing aspects of our hobby, including my work on the LEGO Brick Labels project.

In order to create the labels, I've needed to craft extremely short descriptions for each part which complement the part image.  (Because the name is always accompanied by the image, I can take some liberties to make the names shorter.)

One of the biggest challenges I've encountered is a semantic one. Different websites (including LEGO.com) use different names for each part, and even for the 'anatomical' elements within a part.  I am in the process of learnign all the names used within the hobby for these connections and anatomy - in the hopes that I can distill the most commonly used terms.

Slide showing most of the common connection types in contemporary LEGO parts.

There are several aspects of LEGO part anatomy that I'm curious to hear how they are named within the internals of the LDraw project.

For example:

  • On the underside of a 1x2 brick, there is a rod between the studs to create a gap the right size for a stud to attach.  Is this called a "bar" since it is 2 units wide (in the measurement system used above), or do you have a different term?
  • Hollow Stud - Is there a better term for these hollow studs which accept a bar element?
  • Bar/Clip/Handle - A "handle" has the same diameter as a bar element.  Is there another term for these used within LDraw project?
  • Mini Bar - I  have also seen "prong" as a term for this, such as in the context of relatively new part 68211
  • Click Hinge - I have also heard "indexed hinge" and other terms - is there a common name here?
  • Ball - This is also sometimes described as a constraction hinge - has that term been outmoded by now?
  • Mini Pin - Is that the closest thing we have to a universal name for this non-Technic pin connection?


If there is already a LDraw Part Naming Styleguide, please let me know.  If not, maybe this project can help create one?

Sincerely,
---tom

  Rubber band templates question
Posted by: N. W. Perry - 2021-09-10, 15:40 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (4)

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)?

  Command Lines List Argument LDView
Posted by: Leo Juffinger - 2021-09-07, 14:09 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (2)

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:


.txt   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

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

  Part Request: 93696pb03 SW Togruta Montrals Long
Posted by: Karlee B. - 2021-09-07, 0:03 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (2)

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.
