  DatHeader Error on startup
Posted by: Johann Eisner - 2020-01-17, 16:31 - Forum: Parts Author Tools - Replies (21)

Hi community

When starting the latest version from DatHeader (3.0.23), I got a error message,
Missing Catecory.txt.

.png   Missing.PNG (Size: 7.88 KB / Downloads: 162)
After confirming the dialog box, an attempt is made to download the file.
This leads to another error message.

.png   Error.PNG (Size: 7.06 KB / Downloads: 162)
After confirming this dialog box,...

.png   Hinweis.PNG (Size: 9.49 KB / Downloads: 164)

DatHeader runs that way too, but this Zenario comes every time it starts.
Thoughts or solves?

Regards Johann

  Patterned parts detail
Posted by: Orion Pobursky - 2020-01-16, 17:32 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (4)

There is a minor debate on the PT regarding patterns that go "all the way to the edge" of the part. Specifically these 2 parts:
https://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.c...70bp0n.dat
[/url][url=https://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cgi?f=parts/3070bp0l.dat]https://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cgi?f=parts/3070bp0l.dat

I have both of these part and am the author of one of them. I've looked at them and it appears the pattern does, indeed, go all the way to the curved edge. On high magification, you can see that there is a very small gap but this is negligible in my mind.

As far as I'm concerned, this is a non-issue. It's imperceptible to the end user and we have precedence for both ways. A cursory scan of part shows 8 1x2 tiles where we have patterns that abut the edge (3069bpx1, 3069bps7, 3069bpx1, 3069bps9, 3069bpf1, 3069bps4, 3069bps5, 3069bp09, 3069bp0a). I'm sure there are more examples with other part type. Whatever the part author chooses should be fine.

  [LDCad] Configuration problem?
Posted by: Philippe Hurbain - 2020-01-14, 17:16 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (4)

Suddenly my LDCad behaves weirdly with steps: each time I add a step, the 3D view is reset to default orientation and zoomed to fit. I don't remember making any configuration change... Any idea what/where could be the culprit?

  Color of part preview

Seeing the uninformative preview thumbnail here: https://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.c...75bps1.dat I'm wondering why this preview doesn't use color 16 hue defined in LDColor.ldr?

Information Part 21560
Posted by: Jaco van der Molen - 2020-01-14, 10:45 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (5)

Hi all,

I am looking for this one, that Rebrickable calls
SHOULDER SHELL W.3.20 CONNECTOR
and has an "LDraw" image for it.

On Bricklink it is called
LegoLarge Figure Armor, Round, Smooth

It comes i.e. in the Captain Phasma and Jango Fett buildable figures sets 75118 and 75107.

I guess it has not been made? I cannot find it on the tracker too.

Anyone working on or have made it, but not posted?

Thanks.

Jaco

  Thinking about doing a LDCad 1.7 version
Posted by: Roland Melkert - 2020-01-13, 20:41 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (147)

Hi all,

I've got some semi big (need a beta stage) features on my LDCad todo list I don't really want to do in a 1.6d/e version, namely:

- !DATA support
- !ATTACHTO support
- minor snapping and scripting extensions


So I'm thinking to do a 1.7 version instead with a couple of more things I wanted to do in 2.0. But that version is a looooooong way out.

For this I would like to include some bigger new features to really make it worth the effort.

I'm thinking about these features myself:

- Interactive animation (spin a gear to see what happens, given you scripted it to do so Big Grin  )
- Custom 'single line' bin content (to drag and drop unknown/preconfigured meta's etc). Probably as an extension to templates.

If anyone has some additional ideas this is the time to let me know.

  James Jessiman Memorial Award for 2019 awarded to Gerald Lasser
Posted by: Johann Eisner - 2020-01-13, 18:25 - Forum: LDraw.org Announcements - Replies (5)

The LDraw.org Steering Committee is pleased to announce that the 2019 James Jessiman Memorial Award (JJMA) recipient is Gerald Lasser.


Well, actually there should be a few lines about Gerald here,
but unfortunately I know too little about him or his career here at LDraw,
because I only been active here since a short time.
But what I can say for sure about Gerald is that he is a gifted parts author and has been supporting the LDraw team for many, many years.
Both as part author and as reviewer.
Therefore I would like to express my sincere thanks on behalf of the Steer Co. and the entire LDraw team for his work here.

More information on the JJMA can be found at: https://www.ldraw.org/article/222.html

Johann Eisner
On behalf of the LDraw.org Steering Committee
