  Rebrickable LDCad PBG export
Posted by: Orion Pobursky - 2020-04-24, 14:56 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (42)

I love Rebrickable's PBG export. However, it has the drawback that minifig torsos and legs are listed as assemblies so unless they're generic enough to use the appropriate shortcut they'll always appear as unfound parts in the parts bin. I recently had a forum thread with the dev team about this and was basically told that this will never change since it's too much for them to track arms, hands, torsos, hips, and legs separately. I don't disagree with this decision from their point of view.

I proposed the following solution:
Associate the LDraw part number for the appropriate torso with the assembly. Add in the arms in the same color as the torso and the hands in yellow. This will at least get the correct torso pattern to show up in the parts bin and the if the arm or hand color is different, that's easily changeable by the user. They have yet to get back to me on this suggestion.

Then I got to thinking, we could use the Rebrickable API to provide our own PBG export. Either roll our own cross reference database or, since Bricklink does catalog the torsos, arms, and hands separately and Rebrickable provides the Bricklink number, pull this data from Bricklink via their API. We could also have an option to include the unpatterned version of a part if the patterned version doesn't exist and reference the appropriate flex part template for flexible parts.

Thoughts?

  11055 Flag 2 x 2 Square [Thick Clips]

For reference:

Is this a variation we care about or should I tell Rebrickable to use 2335?

Note: Bricklink doesn't differentiate.

  LDD data to DAT
Posted by: Orion Pobursky - 2020-04-22, 21:42 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (4)

I seem to recall a tutorial that was written (by Philo?) on how to process the LDD mesh data into a part for the PT. My Google fu has failed me in finding it. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Bricklink thinks these are 2 different patterns. I'm leaning that way but I'm not entirely convinced that the differences are meaningful. Thoughts?

  Modular Buildings Missing Parts (with links!)
Posted by: Orion Pobursky - 2020-04-21, 20:32 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (13)

So I got bored of my usual activity of making OMR files and decided to catalog all the missing parts needed for the current slate of Modular Buildings. If you're bored and want a part to work on, here's a good place to start:

List is through 10264 Assembly Square.

The list of needed parts for 10270 (Bookshop) can be found here: https://forums.ldraw.org/thread-23853.html

  Minifig Head patten preferred practice
Posted by: Orion Pobursky - 2020-04-21, 16:49 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (2)

What's the current preferred practice for minifg head patterns?
1. Head on shot, make the pattern, and then project it using Philo's tool
2. Try to "unfold" the pattern, make it, and then "refold" it to the head subfile

  Pneumatic tubes
Posted by: Johann Eisner - 2020-04-21, 7:44 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (5)

Philo has already drawn a lot of pneumatic tubes for use in the PLI of LPub3D and uploaded them to the PartsTracker.
For a MOC I need some that are not yet available. For example 11L and 12L.
Since these are relatively simple, I would like to submit them later.
Now to my question: According to which scheme are the tubes named?
I don't see any connection.
