Looking for a parts author to team up with. |

Hey all, so I really love Ldraw and this community and I'd like to help it out some as well as get some parts I've been looking for. Thing is, I am in a truck 24/7 and really don't have the time to learn to be a parts author, plus a bouncing mouse is hard to work with.
What I do have (well, I will soon) is a little spare cash, My idea is to buy some sets off ebay and have them mailed to a parts author for replication in Ldraw who would then mail the sets back to me. I figure this is important because a lot of the parts I'm interested in would need a 3d scan or being able to work with them directly.
Things like:
Stingray helmet
Sting ray disk decal designone
Elves Dragon and animal heads
There's sure to be a lot to work out in order to make this work so I thought I'd get started on it before I was ready to buy some sets. Should be a month or so before I can start doing this.
Because I'm opting to send a few hundred dollars worth of parts to a relative stranger, I would need the community to vouch for any parts author interested in working on this. With one exception, my preferred choice is [color=green][b]Philippe Hurbain[/color][/b]. As the administrator of this site and a man who has already volunteered his free time to make me, a relative stranger some parts I feel if this idea has any hope of working then he's gotta be in good standing.
That being said, I wouldn't even humor this idea except that everyone here seems to be trustworthy, the community seems like a place of people who like to help out. Anyone interested in this idea should respond so we can work something out.
I should mention that because these sets can be pretty pricey, I'm not really volunteering to buy sets on request. I just want to fill out some classic sets from my childhood and some of the new ones I think are really cool.
Thank you, anyone who takes interest in advance.

LDCad Part Organization |

just a note to any one who is involved with the construction/maintenance of LDCad. The friends and Elves heads are found divided between two directories 'Figures' and 'Mini-Figures', if there is a way to put them in one category (hopefully with relative ease) I'd appreciate knowing it or having it in the next version, either or.
Personally I think they make more sense in figures than mini-figures given their unique design but that's just me.
Thank you for your time and work on such a great program, I love LDCad.

LPub - show submodel in PLI in selected steps only |

I am looking for a way to show submodels in the PLI only for the steps I want. Is there a way to set this for each individual instance? So far I have only found a way to make it global.
I could generate 2 sets of instructions - one with and one without submodels in PLIs - and then combine only the pages I want, but that appears like a very roundabout way to get the desired result.

LPub - rotate submodel in PLI |

In order to more clearly indicate that a (previously built) submodel is attached in a certain step, I want to include it in the PLI.
The orientation of the submodel in the PLI makes is different from the orientation in the step-by-step instructions for building it.
How can I get the submodel to show up in the PLI with the same rotation as the in the building instructions of that submodel?

LPub - optimise rendering speed |

When I use LPub, I spend a lot of time waiting for pages to render. I'm trying to find out if there is anything I can do to speed up this process.
I am using a new laptop (i7 CPU) with a powerful graphics card (NVIDIA GTX 1050 - 4GB GDDR5) but that doesn't appear to have any impact on the rendering speed compared to my 6-year-old laptop I used before this one.
What can I do to speed up the rendering process?
I have a feeling files are rendered one at a time in sequence. Is there a way to run several renderings at the same time (would that improve the overall speed)?
Some additional info:
After reading this thread I have turned off 'Single call multiple rendering'
Note I am not looking for a faster rendering speed when creating the final PDF version (that would be an added bonus). I am looking for a reliable way to make my document editing flow faster.
