  Looking for advices - first MOC
Posted by: P1l0t3 - 2020-05-15, 13:27 - Forum: MOCs (My Own Creations) - Replies (4)

Hello,

i dived again in the lego world while buying sets for my son and craving to do them with him. But as I wanted to let him do them himself, I started to get frustrated Smile

And this is when I stumbled upon the beautiful RS2027 Vision set. And it astounding price point....

This is when I started using LDD and with the amount of pieces missing I went to LCAD. I started to reverse engineering the set with photos (from both the set and the real car).
I continue my search and found the lsit pieces and some user manual pages that helped me a lot to move on with the rebuilt.

However, i wanted something different from the original set so i digressed from the available models and tried to get closer to the real car.

And here I am, half of the car is done in LCAD and I wanted to get feedback on various elements for this MOC :
- Is it structurally sound (I have a concern with the base plate and its junctions)
- Are they "standards" to follow when doing a set ?
- Any other tips or tricks to help me ?

Thanks a lot.

Brick submodels not appearing in used models partbin
Posted by: Moreau - 2020-05-15, 5:51 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (7)

on lDCad 1.6d linux mint.
i have no idea what i did, but for some reason whenever i make a new submodel and return to the home model, the created submodel does not show up in the used models partbin (all models used by the current model recursively).
to test this i reopened an older .ldr and the submodels i already had there still show up. its just new ones that dont. I don't know what setting to look for to fix this.

  Curved Sine Wave
Posted by: Vincent Messenet - 2020-05-14, 14:30 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (10)

I'm authoring the following pattern:
[Image: 25269pb001__81269.1538605146.jpg?c=2&imbypass=on]
The part is almost ready except that I'm not satisfied with the curved sine wave on the round border.
I'm sure there is a way to do it better using an appropriate tool but I don't know which one. Would you have any suggestions on how to design it?

Here are my files so far.

  TEXMAP Fallback
Posted by: Orion Pobursky - 2020-05-13, 23:31 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (4)

I started using img2dat to do rough fallbacks for the stickers I've submitted but file size is huge (even after dat header optimization). I don't think this is worth the trouble. Thoughts?

  Tile 1x2 "Fabulous Las Vegas" pattern?
Posted by: N. W. Perry - 2020-05-13, 18:38 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (18)

Just before I get started myself, is anybody already working on the "Fabulous Las Vegas" sign pattern from Architecture set 21038/21047?

And, any good straight-on photos of the part, other than the BL one above, and this one from Brickset—?

  LDCad Connector License
Posted by: K Johnson - 2020-05-13, 17:53 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - No Replies

We have decided that we will most likely make our VR LDraw editor free to use. Additionally, we hope to bring the MOC market to the game to expand people's ability to buy and sell bricks within the game. 

Since the software itself is offered for free and only the MOCs are monetized, would this be an acceptable use of the LDCad connector data?

Thanks!

Information Looking for part 19917
Posted by: Merlijn Wissink - 2020-05-11, 17:29 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (7)

I'm in need of part 19917. It's supposed to go together with part 19916, but I don't need that one, only looking for 19917. The part is available in LDD.

I hope someone is able and willing to make it  Smile

Thanks!

  LDCad problem with graphics card driver, linux
Posted by: Owen Dive - 2020-05-10, 5:53 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (9)

Hi Roland (and anyone else who cares to partake of this discussion!)



I've noticed a problem with LDCad (1.6d) and the latest graphics card drivers that my system updates manager wants me to install.

After upgrading my nvidia drivers from 390.116-0ubuntu0.18.04.3 to 390.132-0ubuntu0.18.04.1, I find that LDCad won't start. Running it in my terminal, I get the following error message:



Code:
$ /usr/bin/LDCad
The program 'LDCad' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)'.
  (Details: serial 459 error_code 2 request_code 154 minor_code 24)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
  that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
  To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
  option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
  backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
I am almost certain this message was produced by some software other than LDCad, perhaps something in the desktop management stack. Certainly adding the --sync flag didn't change anything.



I've had a look at LDCad's logfiles, and can't see anything immediately wrong. It goes through setting up the color bins etc, and then just stops. The last line in the logfile is:

Code:
00257 | 2020-05-10_15:01:09 | Progress | Validating inventories. | done.
When it's working, the next logfile lines are all about setting up the rendering engine, which would be problematic if there's some incompatibility with the graphics card driver.



It's no real difficulty to roll back to the old version of the driver (fortunately, it was only a day or so ago that I installed these updates - it's possible that I could have gone for quite some time before noticing the problem), but I wondered if you had any thoughts as to what might be the root cause.



In short, I'm not really expecting you to fix my problem, but if, as the message suggests, there's a bug in LDCad, I figured you ought to know!

I hope you're keeping well in these interesting times.



Owen.
