Hello,
I want to take snapshots with LDView. For this purpose, I have saved the required settings in an INI file. The ldr file, the INI file, and the LDView64.exe program are located in the same directory.
The call looks like this: LDView64.exe 157.ldr -IniFile=Settings.ini.
It seems as if the INI file is not being used. A BFC=0 entry in the INI file has no effect. For example, if the call looks like this, the result is as expected: LDView64.exe 157.ldr -BFC=0.
What am I doing wrong?
I am using LDView 4.5 and Windows 10.

Regards

Manfred

Is this good enough to get added to the part tracker etc?

Hello,
I found that for part 4488 there seem to be various versions: 4488, 10313 and 67688.
 I'm not quite sure about the codes.

In some sites 4488 and 10313 are indicated as aliases, but looking at the images of the lower part they are different, with two or three fins.

The difference between 4488 and 67688 is clearly shown in Rebrickable. The center hole doesn't seem useful for inserting parts, but it's just a material saver. For us, it's just a small aesthetic change that could be omitted.

Is it worth working on?



I am attaching some images and a first model that I have prepared.
It is not yet ready for publication and perhaps the names of the primitives should be revised a bit.

Hey there, I just found an element that isn’t on LDraw yet. It was first used for the Dreamzzz theme with printing. 




https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/cat...P=6957pb01


I would also like a blank version without printing as well, which I know you’ll obviously add. Thank you for reading my part request!

There is a Duplo stud shape in between stud8 and stud28, i.e. where the inside has two straight segments on opposite sides of the circle. Stud8 has no straight segments and stud28 has four straight segments. The 2-straight segmented shape occurs at least in the picket fence 6497. I'd like to create the 2-straight segmented shape as stud38. Any objections?

Another variant has 4 small notches in each of the 45, 135, 225, and 315 degree angles. Occurs at least in the ladder 3519. Would be convenient to have such a stud primitive on hand.

Edit: Corrected stud8 name.

The current cyli (and cylo) prims have a terminal condition line that assumes a linear continuation of the shape along the tangent. Whenever shapes are stacked (e.g. 1-4 + something) or two cylis are face to face (e.g. two 5-8ths going in opposite directions) the control points of the assumed condition lines are outside the part. In most cases this is ignored. In some cases another condition line is added with correct control points. Nevertheless, I find it inconvenient when checking a part for correctness of condition lines. Would it be useful to have a series of prims that omit those terminal condition lines? I don't want to use the prims without any condition lines because of the effort needed to add the bulk of them manually.

I find myself repeatedly adding edges and discs of the same size and shape. Would it be useful to have a 'disco' series similar to the cylo series?
