While making a model using part 57783.dat in transparent I noticed a strange reddish line artifact when looking at it a certain angle (in LDCad).
Is that normal or is it an error in the part or rendering in LDCad?
Looking at it from another angle it is gone.

   

I updated the latest all-in version with 2.4.0 of Lpub. But it always crashed when I change the size of building material page or some information in the step. I don't know what's wrong about the new version or I need to change some option before use it.

I have been using LDBoxer to reduce the polycount of my models.

Can anyone explain why framerate is not improved when using them in for instance LDView? Thanks.

How do I fix a file with errors like this? Do I simply copy and paste 'New Quad' over 'Original Quad' in the part file?


Error: Bad vertex sequence in BFC-enabled quad.
File: a6039.dat
Line #52: 4 16 10 0 4.14 20 32 8.28 10 0 -4.14 20 32 -8.28
(Note: disabling BFC for this quad.)
Original Quad: <10 0 4.14> <20 32 8.28> <10 0 -4.14> <20 32 -8.28>
New Quad: <10 0 4.14> <20 32 8.28> <20 32 -8.28> <10 0 -4.14>

I am trying to use LDView to generate snapshots from the command line. The problem is, that models with errors cause a popup message to be spawned that I need to click through. Is there a way to pipe these error messages to a text file instead? They are important messages that I would like to read, but I don't want to stall the snapshot generation process since I have ~1k parts I need snapshots of.

When viewing parts in LDView with BFC colors turned on, should the part appear red, green or blue?

What is a "neutral" face?

How do I fix a part that is the wrong color?

Thanks.

I created the 8527 - Mindstorms NXT Tribot robot. I used LEGO Digital Designer Whacker robot template and modified it in LEGO Digital Designer and then exported it into an LDraw file. Then I tweaked the LDraw file in LeoCAD and divided the model into submodels and added steps which are the exact same as the official building instructions. I hope this can be added to the official model repository in the future.


Let me know what you think!

I created the 8527 - Mindstorms NXT kit. I created the Tribot with no sensors and is just the three motors and NXT brick template vehicle.

These files (linked here https://www.ldraw.org/part-updates):
* https://www.ldraw.org/library/updates/complete.zip
* https://www.ldraw.org/library/official/LDConfig.ldr

are being periodically replaced with new versions. This breaks all ports that store cryptographic fingerprints, because they see that these files periodically change and ports fail to build.

For example, the FreeBSD port cad/ldraw would break with every new release of complete.zip and LDConfig.ldr

Could you please add a date of release to these filenames, for example make these URLs look like this:
* https://www.ldraw.org/library/updates/co...201229.zip
* https://www.ldraw.org/library/official/L...201229.ldr


Thank you,
