Hi all,

Wanted to share one of my MOCs. This one is based off the 42093 set.  I've modeled using stand-in pieces for the 42531 fenders as they weren't in the parts library for stud.io. I used Philo's subfiles from the Parts Tracker to assemble a piece in the Studio PartDesigner, but I'm not sure what the etiquette is for posting MOCs with unofficial parts. If it's alright to do that, I'll rev the file and re-release.

Links to instructions are on this page, which are available in pdf.

Enjoy!

Cheers, Matt

Hi all, 

Found this site while scrounging for part models to do some modeling of my MOCs in Stud.io.  I’m a MAC guy so I suppose I won’t be using LDraw anytime soon, but I’m astounded at the support and community here.  I look forward to working with you all, and thanks for having me.

Cheers,
Matt Walker (aka Cleansupgood)

Hey,

large colour numbers were not compatible with LDPartEditor. It is now corrected.
There is basically no limit anymore (don't try the 32-bit integer maximum ).


As always, you can download LDPE from this page:
http://nilsschmidt1337.github.io/ldparteditor/

Changelog:
(1 bug fix)

With this release the following critical issue is fixed:

1. High colour numbers prevent the colour dialog from showing up.
   

1. Download the zip-Archive
   
2. Extract the archive content to the location of your choice
   
3. On windows, double-click "run.bat" to start LDPE.
   
4. On linux/mac, you have to excecute the shell script "run.sh" to start LDPE.
   

1. On windows, double-click "update.bat" to search for updates.
   
2. On linux/mac, you have to excecute the shell script "update.sh".

I draw and build a lot of cylindrical structures. The builds turn out good but the drawings are not worth much (IMHO). The cylinders are always made up of two brick segments, a 1x2 brick followed by a 1 round brick, with the second and subsequent rows off set by 1 brick. Pretty standard approach.

I would like to programmatically ( spreadsheet ) develop an LDraw file that has better resolution than I can obtain by tweaking individual bricks in a drawing.

Am studying files that I downloaded of small walls both straight and the same wall curved by a specific number of degrees per segment and am working on how the coordinates are computed. Not as straight forward as I had expected.

I am not a math person so the translation matrices throw me. I was hoping that I could find a way that I could calculate the various values for each row. I was wondering if there was an explanation somewhere of how the translation is done. The actual trig would be wonderful.

One other thing,that I was not able to find, was where do the coordinates refer to. The geometric center of the brick? or someplace else.

It looks like there is no spacing between bricks in the computations. Is that correct?

Any help would be appreciated. If anyone else has tried this please let me know. If this is a Don Quixote situation also let me know.
Thanx,
Ed

Shall we create a new Category for the Hero Factory parts:

I've requested (not yet approved) to have a LDraw MOC display at an upcoming AFOL convention. As such, I'd like to get as many images and models file as I can to showcase the efforts of our community at future fan events.

The rules for submission are:
- Must be public display appropriate
- Images must of a resolution that displays well on a 1080p monitor
- Videos are allowed subject to the above rules
- Pre-rendered images are desired but LDR files will be accepted.
- Author's real name (pen names are allowed) and email must be provided (can be done via PM).

Please post submissions to this thread or via PM.

Please create a new topic for discussion of the rules or other items.

Hi,

The release candidate of the AIOI 2019-01 can be downloaded here:

http://www.holly-wood.it/tmp/LDraw_AIOI_...bit_v1.exe

Change log:

* Update to Parts Library 2019-01
* Update to MLCad.ini 2019-01
* Update to LPub3D 2.3.12.0.1356
* Update to LeoCAD 19-01
* Update to Offline Parts Catalog 2019-01
* Update to LDCad 1.6 beta 1c

Your testing would be appreciated.

This will be the last 32bit version. The next installer will 64bit with possibly stripping the current 32bit programs like MLCad, LSynth, LDFind, ... and shipping them in a separate 32bit installer.

Hello everyone,

On the good advice of Philo, I have started to test the new renderer of Lpub3D 2.3.12 and in deed, it is very fast comparing to ldview.

Therefore I have started to work on a new model using this one.

But I have a problem regarding the size of the model, size of the callout and the pli. I have noticed that the scale is not longer use and is replace now by fov camera and distance camera) but I do not understand how to work with it properly.

For my example, I have set :

• Fov assembly : 20
  
• Distance : -270 
  
• Native factor : -270 (I have found a topic by Trevor which explain that -270 is A4 scale =1)
  
• Fov pli : 30 (I want the part a bit smaller)
  
• Distance pli : -270
  

Is there any way to increase the number of views for the parts bin in LDCAD? There are currently six views but I could do with more! I tend to find I have 3 or 4 set to some fairly common categories (technic, plates, bricks, tiles) but then use the other two for everything else (e.g. slopes, brackets, hinges, search, model content). I'd love to be able to increase the number of available views to "N" and have the tabs (circled in the image below) appropriately arranged in multiple rows.



Regards,

David
