  OMR search results

Something went wrong on the OMR site.
After every search I got a blank white site without results.
Could anyone take a look?

Thanks.

  Virtual Blox - LDraw in VR
Posted by: Nils Meinerta - 2020-08-26, 16:03 - Forum: All Other Programs. - No Replies

Hi, I hope this is the right corner of the forum.

I wanted to show you a small project I have worked on: Virtual Blox.
It is a brick builder in VR which uses LDraw parts for the models.
Currently only Pin connections are supported and a limited part selection, but
smaller models can now be build in VR. 

If you want to have a look, go to https://essometer.itch.io/virtual-blox

  Unoffical parts access
Posted by: Roland Melkert - 2020-08-25, 19:05 - Forum: Website Suggestions/Requests/Discussion - Replies (2)

I noticed the 'article/14.html' page is a 404 now.

I expected to find the unofficial parts zip on the latest parts page, but instead it's (hidden?) on the part tracker page which is very big and slow imho.

Shouldn't there be at least a reference to the unofficial zip on the main parts page?

  Side profile script help
Posted by: Cam's Bricks - 2020-08-25, 5:28 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (2)

Hello, 

I know this is possible but I know nothing of Regular expression. 

I would like to have a script that looks at the physical size of the model, then exports 6 images (one for each ortho view: front, back, left, right, top, and bottome) that are all at 300dpi based on the physical size. This will make a 1:1, 300dpi rendering of perfect size shots. 

Can someone help? I need it for making decals for many of the trains I create. 

Thanks in advance.

  Disallow !KEYWORDS in subparts
Posted by: Chris Dee - 2020-08-25, 5:13 - Forum: Standards Board - Replies (4)

We disallow !KEYWORDS meta-statement in subparts, on the understanding that this language feature is provided to help LDraw users (of tools that implement it) to find 'parts' in the library. An LDraw user should not generally be interested in subparts.

The header checker used to verify files when building a Parts Update detects subparts containing !KEYWORDS and these are removed from the headers prior to release. There were a few instances of this error in unofficial files submitted prior to that header checker being implemented in the Parts Tracker submit script, which have now been corrected.

The documentation here, only talks about the meta-statement being used in parts, but does not explicitly state that it should not be used in subparts. The only sentence that comes close is in the Scope section:

Quote:The !KEYWORDS meta-statement may appear in models but it is not used in primitives.


Can we please extend that sentence with ', or subparts', and clarify this restriction in the Official Library Header Specification.

  Dat file line type 1 explanation
Posted by: Cam's Bricks - 2020-08-25, 5:06 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (3)

Hello,

I am trying to write some lines to scale a part in the PLI in Lpub3D. If I have it correct, I need to use the scaling functions in the line for this part. I read the article here https://www.ldraw.org/article/218.html but the only given parts are the x,y,z coordinates as the first 3 characters. 

Can someone explain what the rest of the numbers do? I know some are a scale, some are rotation, and I *think* that some are a repeat but I have no idea. 

1 <colour> x y z a b c d e f g h i <file>

I am looking at "a b c d e f g h i" in case my post makes no sense. 

Thanks,
Cam

PS if I am barking up the wrong tree, please help me understand. I have a custom part that renders MUCH to large in the PLI in Lpub3D and I would like it to show at a smaller size.

  Looking for part 87556 (TIE Pilot Helmet)
Posted by: Merlijn Wissink - 2020-08-20, 11:43 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (3)

Hi,

I'm (kinda unexpectedly) also looking for part 87556. It's also available in LDD and ideally I have a (rough) version now, but I can't remember where to download those raw LDD converted parts. Any help?

Thanks!

Here's a test preview of the "Grand Unified Search".

https://www.ldraw.org/hidden-content/sit...stpad.html
(Standard testpad disclaimer: This page changes a lot so may not reflect what is discussed here after the bulk of the discussion ends)

Todo:
- Integrate Forum, OMR, and Wiki search
- Have a proper results page where search can be filtered, options chosen
- Index the parts library instead of scraping ptscan output
