  New Design ID for 18675 -> 35173
Posted by: Gerald Lasser - 2020-04-17, 12:43 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (1)

Seems the change of transparent material brought also a lot of changes to the design-IDs.

I had ordered a few patterned "Dish 6 x 6 Inverted - No Studs with Handle" that we used to know as 18675, however to my annoyance they sound a bit cheap if you drop them on a table compared to the old (PC) ones, but they also have a new number, 35173. BL even lists a 35191

How do we organise the printed parts?

Keep on authoring them for 18675 to get a proper overview?

I would prefer to keep them as 18675 and add a keyword for the new design-ID, at least they will then pop-up in the search.

What do you think?

  How do I submit new parts?
Posted by: Wiktor Knosala - 2020-04-16, 17:28 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (6)

I made .dat and tested it in stud.io. 
How do I submit it to ldraw.org?
On the parts tracker side under "submit" it just says:

Sorry, your userid (Wiktor) must have submit privileges in order to submit files.

btw, the part I made:
Motorcycle Chassis, Snowmobile 37496

  Part 63965
Posted by: N. W. Perry - 2020-04-16, 17:20 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (6)

Has anyone got a part 63965 handy and able to get some quick measurements? I think the short end of the bar combined with the stop ring should add up to 24 LDU, one full brick height. Currently it comes to 25.5 (of which 7.5 is the ring thickness and the remaining bar length is 18).

For an official usage showing this, see set 21028, step 73. The bar fits fully inside the Travis brick, flush to the top of its hollow stud (underside of the 1x1 plate), such that the 1x1 round brick can still snap on to the bottom.

  Submodel naming and organization
Posted by: Orion Pobursky - 2020-04-15, 19:41 - Forum: Official Models - Replies (12)

I'm starting to rethink my design philosophy regarding how I put together a model for the OMR. Currently I name things by step number (e.g. step45.ldr) or an appropriate noun name and step if there are multiple sections that start with step one (e.g. book1-step5.ldr). Since I've now run into multiple instruction sets where even LEGO can't keep the step numbers consistent, I'm thinking about abandoning the step numbering system and instead focus on submodeling to make positioning movable elements easier. Maybe not even include steps at all?

How does everyone else go about organizing their submodels? Do you put instruction steps in?

  Missing Thread
Posted by: Johann Eisner - 2020-04-15, 19:09 - Forum: Help - Replies (5)

I'm either stupid or too stupid.
I am quite sure that I recently replied to a topic that involved updating the unofficial parts library in LPub3D.
But I can not find the thread anywhere, even if I search in the User CP under my comments, I can not find it.
Can this be due to the downgrading of a SteerCo to a "normal" user?

Regards Johann

  LDCad Shadow License
Posted by: K Johnson - 2020-04-14, 16:32 - Forum: Official File Specifications/Standards - Replies (2)

New to this forum so hello to all of you!  Big Grin

Mr. Melkert,

First of all, let me say that I admire your work a great deal and I appreciate everything you have done to improve Lego CAD. I am working on a brick game and need to determine connection information on my LDraw models. 

What are the guidelines for using the shadow files for part snapping in my own commercial LDraw application? 

Also, is there an update on including this or some other connection information library as an LDraw standard specification? It seems to me that connection data should have been included as standard a long time ago. 

Furthermore, is there any other open source connection information library that is available for commercial use that you are aware of?

Best,

Ian K Johnson

  Form Net 8 x 16 Rectangle
Posted by: Jaco van der Molen - 2020-04-14, 14:16 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (10)

Hi all,

Would it be possible to model form this part in LDCad?

Black String, Net 8 x 16 Rectangle
https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/cat...only%22:0}

Using single strings, weave, and form.
Or the part as whole and form it like we would form any flexible part in LDCad?

Jaco

  LDraw Mobile Client

Currently I've been using Buf3D+ on my Google Pixel 2 XL but I was curious to know if LDraw team has any plans to release a dedicated mobile client in near future.
