  Primitive Substitution broken in Studio?
Posted by: N. W. Perry - 2020-04-03, 16:40 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - No Replies

Hey, is this a bug with Studio or is it just me? It seems like primitive substitution is broken for a variety of parts that weren't broken before. I thought it was a problem just with the renderer, but it's present in the editor, too. See below:

  Door 1 x 3 x 3

We have basically all Doors 1 x 3 x 3 (Left/Right) at the PT and an issue with proper naming because of the different handles. Please have a look:

   

Suggestions are welcome.

  Exported .POV is mirrored/reversed
Posted by: Jordan Cormack - 2020-03-28, 14:35 - Forum: Help - Replies (2)

Hi,

I am a new user of LDView, and I have been exporting .POV files from LDView to render in POV-Ray. When I view a part in LDView it looks correct, but the POV-Ray render shows a mirror image. I have seen an option in the POV Export Options called 'Fix mirrored stud logos' which doesn't seem to help at all.

Part 54384 in LDView

Any suggestions to help would be apprieciated!

  Part / subpart combined with ~ prefix
Posted by: Roland Melkert - 2020-03-28, 0:04 - Forum: Official File Specifications/Standards - Replies (2)

Why is 165.dat (and many others) considered a part (in !LDRAW_ORG)

It will mess (among other things) with fake seam processing.

And you can't just assume the ~ means subpart ether as there are countless 'obsolete' dat files using the same prefix.


I'm working on this for a bug in LDCad, but I'm not sure this is a 'real' bug or a wrong .dat header issue.

Big Grin Part 65635
Posted by: Henzn - 2020-03-26, 17:19 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (11)

Hello,

I´m new in this forum and I´m using LDraw since a week. It is so much fun and i have build 3 Models in Speedchampion size. 

Now I´m struggeling a littlebit with part 65635. There are two files to download: 65635.dat and 65635s02.dat 

Its the base plate and left or right corner, i placed the files in LDraw put them together and made a group. I wonder if thats the right way, in LPub3d i have somel problems as well, the model 65635 is not visible at all. (by the way 18974 has a picture icon but isn´t displayed in the 3D view)

Is it possible to merge the two models 65635.dat and 65635s02.dat in one file, or is there a different way to open it? 

I need some help, please Big Grin

  61678 and 41749/41750 overlap
Posted by: Orion Pobursky - 2020-03-24, 19:06 - Forum: Parts Tracker Discussion - Replies (12)

Looks like we need to adjust either 61678 or 41479/41750 as they currently overlap and shouldn't.

Hi everyone. My name is John and I just joined the forum. I didn't get into Lego's until I was in my 40's (I am 66 now and still playing with Lego's).
I saw the 8480 Space Shuttle when it came out and had to get it. I've been hooked on Technic ever since.
I am also into the Mindstorms/NXT/EV3 sets. I recently reverse engineered the program for the EV3 Puppy from the Lego EV3 Education set.

I haven't done any Lego cad work in quite a while and used MLCad. I just recently found out about LDCad.
I saw the 42110 Land Rover on the Lego Shop web site but wasn't interested in it at first.
Then I saw a you tube video of it showing the drive train. I decided to make a you tube video of how the drive train works.
You can see it here...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R3TfZbrkDfY.

I was told I should make an animation of the drive train, but haven't learned scripting on LDCad yet.
I also just found out about LDPE. I was using L3Lab, but wanted something with more features.

I am making the 42055 Bucket Wheel Excavator with LDCad, but didn't have the curved gear rack.
I decided I would try a hand at making it. In the past, I made the 32186 Steering Arm with 3 Balls and the 64394 Panel Fairing #13.
I made the steering arm when I was building the 8448 Super Street Sensation on MLCad.
I did an animation of an 8 cylinder engine using MLCad too.

On my you tube channel, I have videos of some robotic stuff made with Robotis Bioloid system. 

I guess that's enough for now.
Hope you find this short bio interesting.

  Part 6179 error in Studio
Posted by: N. W. Perry - 2020-03-18, 4:45 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (9)

I can't get 6179.dat to load properly in Studio—its subfile 6179s01 is invisible and only the quad of the tup surface is rendered. (Interestingly, the one patterned version of the part does load correctly.) Can anyone reproduce?
