Could someone verify that lightsaber hilt length is different? If length is different (as they are modeled), I'm a bit surprised that they are mixed together on Bricklink...

I uploaded the cake costume parts, 35860 and 38560p01, and had them rendered in Stud.io.



What I got was an interesting result. on the LEFT the parts are as I have uploaded them to the PT, resulting in this "cond-line artefact". I remembered that I used a rect2p there with a shear matrix. So I in-lined this and I got the result on the RIGHT picture. Seems that the pre-processing for the renderer is not working correctly.


Has anybody noticed this and (re-)designed a part with this problem in mind?

I think my google fu chops are off today.

I cant find an alternate part number for this and cannot see this on the part tracker or any forum posts for the part number or other searches like "technic large motor" or "technic large" yield no results. 

Does someone have this or can point me to it?

It is recommended that melkert should write a book, a comprehensive introduction to ldcad

Is there a way to highlight edge lines while browsing the model tree? I know condlines will highlight, but regular edges don't seem to.

Anyone else having problems reaching Brickshelf?

Hello, I just discovered LDCad (1.6d) and want to know if there is a way to show remaining parts in the part bin (or anywhere else).

I'm interested in creating designs from a limited number of parts, and would like a way of knowing if I've stayed within that limit.

I found the showCount property in the Overivew group http://www.melkert.net/LDCad/tech/partBin

And I exported a part list from a set on Rebrickable, dropped that file in the sets dir, and see the part count there. 

So both pieces of information exist in the tool, but I'm looking for some way to see that information together.

I can think of 2 ways I might find this:
 1) Show both use count and total count in the part bin
 2) Update part bin count to show available remaining

Is there a way to see this information? If not in LDCad, is is viewable in some other editor?

Alternatively maybe I could open a second part bin window and eyeball it, but that doesn't seem practical if I'm using very many unique parts.

Thanks!

When creating a building step with LDCad, if you rotate a part (not the whole model) it is rotated for all building steps. Is there a way to make the part rotation unique for a specific building step or from one building step onwards?

This is pretty impressive:

What parts library does mecabricks.com use?
