Thread for Technic sets released in 2000

Hey,

here is a new LDPartEditor release which let you swap the mouse button layout (for rotation and translation in the 3D view).


  mouseButtonLayout.PNG (Size: 4.38 KB / Downloads: 100)

I also provided an alternative 64-bit linux release since I had some problems with LDPE on another linux distro (Ubuntu).


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

Changelog:
(3 new features and 2 bug fixes)

With this release you will be able to...

• ...swap the middle and right mouse button assignment (view translation and view rotation)
  
• ...get the PNG textures from the PartsTracker when you are using the PartReview tool.
  This is useful for the review of !TEXMAP patterns.
  
• ...configure a viewport scale factor (this is only necessary for 4K screens with a high pixel density)
  

1. Display issues on a 3840x2160 display: empty regions & misplaced cursor.
   
2. The vertex window popup was causing an internal error (with no negative side effects for the user).
   

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".

It's official, there will be an LDraw MOC display at BrickCon 2019 (Oct 3-6)!

Please read the rules and post your submissions to the following thread:

Also, please crosspost this announcement to any other fan communities you happen to be a part of.

Additionally, I (Orion), will be giving my standard LDraw.org presentation on a day to be determined (I requested Friday, Oct 4) and I recieved permission to use my owe hardware to have a live demo of software (LDCad and LPub3D).

See you there!

I guess this is a question for Roland but anyone else can chime in.

Attached is a template and donor parts for a custom flex object I created for 8458. It basically mimics 2 flex axles connected by a static part. The allows LDCad to position and rotated the connecting piece along the path curve. My question is this: can I make the axles on either side of the static center different lengths?

Hi.

I finally managed to build my EV3 omni/holonimic telerobot with anti collision-system. If you drive to close to anything it stop and reverse a bit, if needed. Sensitivity and reverse is adjustable.
I will equippe them with laser tag weapons and laser aim system and so on.
GIF picture on how it can work.   

It can be remote controlled over the internet with live camera stream, so it is a internet camera robot, (that moves like a computer avatar in FPS computer game).
It can be controlled over the internet from a mobile phone, ipad or computer, from a browser.
I plan to build a internet game so that you can log in to robots and have a game with them like in [color=#1e79a7]https://www.isotopium.com/  . [/color]
I did this on ADSL already 2005 and had people playing with my robots from all over the world.
Here is one guy in Australia that explain how it was 2005.

You can build it  your selfe. 
You need a
1. Mindstorms robot 
2. Building instructions.  [color=#1e79a7]http://thetechnicgear.com/2014/04/howto-build-3-wheels-holonomic-robot-using-lego/[/color]
3. An android phone with a Google app called RoboCam.   [color=#1e79a7]https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ru.proghouse.robocam&hl=en_US   [/color]
4. 3 Omni wheels and 3 Large Servo Motor.
5. 4 Ultrasonic Sensors 
6. You dont need laser tag weapons. There is a android app called RealTag that use picture analisys to detect hits.  


Questions?
Do you like the project?

Attached is a sample of hose routing from a current project.

Here's the scale from the instructions:
   

Ribbed hose 1 (the 3 middle hoses) are magenta dotted in the instructions. The online inventory for this part this would correspond to Flat Silver Hose, Ribbed 7mm D. 9L
Ribbed hose 2 (the shorter hose to the right) is orange dotted. The online inventory for this part this would correspond to Flat Silver Hose, Ribbed 7mm D. 7L
Ribbed hose 3 (the longer hose to the left) is green dotted. The online inventory for this part this would correspond to Flat Silver Hose, Ribbed 7mm D. 18L

I have a couple of issues:
- The hoses overlap other components. How do others deal with this issue?
- The hose lengths in the instructions vs. actual model appear to not be correct, especially for hose 2. I have this set (8458) but it's packed up somewhere and I can readily verify.

Note: the attached MPD will only work in LDCad since I have fallback code turned off.

Hello,

Would it be possible to get this part into the library?

I have attached a front and back photo. The ramp goes down to 3 LDU tall at its lowest. 

Thanks,
Cameron
