  Part Request: 90190 & 90203 Lotso Figure Arms
Posted by: Matthew Coleman - 2021-09-25, 20:50 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (1)

Hello again. I'm surprised that no one has requested the Toy Story 3 Lotso arms yet, but I'm afraid I'll need these two parts for my Fuzzy Lumpkins brickfigure in my LEGO Ideas Powerpuff Girls project.

It'd be really nice if someone could get started on these. Thank you!

  Lua - prompt and wait for selection?
Posted by: David Manley - 2021-09-25, 4:23 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (20)

Hi Roland,

another LDCad scripting question for you.

I'm trying to write a script which will loop, prompt the user to select a particular part and then wait until the part is selected before moving to the next prompt/part selection. Looking through the sample Lua scripts, they seem to expect any part selections to be done prior to invoking the macro. But I'd like to have a script which will prompt the user as they go, so they don't have to remember the order in which to select the parts.

The Lua script I am using is invoked as a macro and looks something like this (it has been simplified to assist in understanding its purpose):

Code:
    -- Clear the current selection (if there is one).
  local selected_item_lo = ldc.session.getCurrent():getSelection()
  if (selected_item_lo ~= nil) then
    selected_item_lo:remove()
  end
    -- Prompt for the appropriate part.
  prompt_ls =
  {
    'Select the part/subfile which drives the rotation.'
  }
  linkage_phase_si = linkage_phase_si + 1
  ldc.dialog.runMessage(prompt_ls[linkage_phase_si]);
    -- Loop until an item is selected.
  repeat
    selected_item_lo = ldc.session.getCurrent():getSelection()
  until (selected_item_lo:getRefCount() == 1)
  ldc.dialog.runMessage('Done')

Basically, the intention of the script is to display a message dialog and, once the dialog is closed, wait until the user selects a part. However, when attempting to run this macro, the console open and displays the message
Code:
"linkage_parts_select_gf" execution exceeded the maximum duration of 250ms.

linkage_parts_select_gf is the name of my macro containing the script.

Is there a "proper" way to achieve what I'm wanting to do (i.e. wait until a part is selected) using the LDCad Lua scripting?

Regards,

David

  setEvent, 'run' and passing parameters to macro?
Posted by: David Manley - 2021-09-25, 1:45 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (2)

Hi Roland,

with 1.7 scripting API in LDCad, is it possible to pass an argument to a macro when it is run? For example, if I have a macro named:

Code:
linkage_parts_select_gf

which has a single argument
Code:
first_call_ai

can a value be passed via the setEvent API e.g.
Code:
macro_lo:setEvent('run', 'linkage_parts_select_gf', '1')

Regards,

David

Question Exporting Contour Lines Along with Snapshot in LDView
Posted by: G.D. Grant - 2021-09-23, 20:56 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (8)

Even though I set LDView to display contour lines, I do not see these in the exported snapshots.
Is this even possible in LDView? In my mind, the definition of "snapshot" meant something closer to a screen capture. The only two reason I'm not actually capturing my screen and re-cropping the image later on is that I want large detailed images and I use transparent bricks.
Additionally, is it possible to get monochrome part faces (no lighting, just plain colours... as in a cartoon?)
Thanks.

  Part Request: 72224pb03 Dragon Head (Ninjago) Jaw with 2 Bar Handles on Back
Posted by: Prieto - 2021-09-23, 19:12 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (3)

Hello LDraw community.

I would like to know if someone is currently working on a .dat for the element ID 72224pb03 (The lower jaw of the latest Ninjago dragons)
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/cat...3#T=C&C=69

[Image: 72224pb03.png]
I want to use the piece in the short-term, but I haven't found it in any 3D software library yet. As I don't own the physical part, I am unable to take precise measures and/or proper reference material to sculpt my own version in Blender.


Thank you in advance for any help you could provide.

  Cannot Find my LDraw Library...
Posted by: G.D. Grant - 2021-09-23, 13:46 - Forum: Help - Replies (2)

Prepare to hear something ridiculous...
I lost my LDraw library. Can't remember where I put it on my PC anymore.
I remember doing a manual installation for some nerdy reason and, therefore, my parts library is perhaps not at the default location where the AIOI would have put it...
Is there any way to find the folder where I put my official parts via any LDraw program's preferences settings? I currently have LDView, LDCad, MLCad and LeoCAD installed (all are working properly.) I would like to find my parts library for two main reasons: LPub3D is begging me to, and I would like to add custom parts to it as well.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Cheers. ?

  Problem with part 2907
Posted by: N. W. Perry - 2021-09-22, 3:02 - Forum: Parts Tracker Discussion - Replies (5)

If I'm not going mad, there's something amiss with part 2907 in the library.

Check out the Rebrickable entry—all the images there, even their rendering of the LDraw part, show the grooves rotated 22.5° from where they are in the actual library part. Did this get changed during some update? Is there a different version of the part somewhere else?

From the photo, it's clear that the grooves, not the fins, should be at the 8 compass points.
