| Array bricks along hose path in LDCad — built-in feature or Lua script? |
|

Hi everyone,
I have a flexible hose already placed in my model, complete with bends and curves. I've also built a small ring-shaped assembly (grouped as a sub-model) that is sized to fit snugly around the hose — for simplicity, let's say I could reduce it to a single Technic Brick 2×1 with Hole (3700).
What I'd like to achieve is essentially an array along a curve: repeat that brick or sub-model N times at regular intervals along the hose, so that each instance follows the hose's orientation at its respective position — i.e., it inherits the local rotation of the hose segment it sits on.
Think of it like cable clamps or spacer rings distributed evenly along a hydraulic line or wiring harness.
Does LDCad have any built-in feature that allows this, or is it achievable through a Lua script?
Any pointers — tools, scripts, workflows, or even manual tricks — would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

| "Fixing" Older Stickers (Stickerback Standard) |

Hello everyone,
I am beginning to get afraid people are getting way too zealous when it comes to applying the Stickerback Standard to existing files.
The Standard explicitly mentions older stickers being different:
"The backing boxes for older, sharp cornered stickers should be modeled with an appropriately scaled box5-12."
Please do at least check the individual sticker's year of release before making any changes to existing parts.
It's hard to say when the change actually happened, but it was somewhere in the mid to late 2000s. If the sticker was released prior to 2004, the official one might not need a fix at all.
Things were handled way different prior to 2004, so applying modern rules there will make the sticker look wrong.
As a side note older stickers were noticably covering more area then the modern ones, so even if a sticker from 1997 happens to have rounded corners, the offset is highly likely smaller than 2 LDU.
