  PT links consistency
Posted by: Philippe Hurbain - 2020-01-10, 9:05 - Forum: Website Suggestions/Requests/Discussion - Replies (8)

There is some consistency problem on PT concerning the link texts and what they point to:
- in detail page/required/related subfiles, title text points to detail page while part_number.dat allows to download file. Perfect imho.
- in activity page, there is only a link on part_number.dat, but it points to detail page. I'd like it to download file, and get a link on title pointing to detail page
- Similar problem in parts list, i'd like part_number.dat to directly download file (and, for sake of consistency, show the .dat extension)
- I guess that file scan could/should be homogeneized too, with link to download on part_number.dat, link to detail page on part title, and link column with only the events link.

Even more nitpicking, use bold face for title in activity/list/scan pages like it is used in detail page.

  THEME meta?
Posted by: N. W. Perry - 2020-01-09, 6:54 - Forum: Official File Specifications/Standards - Replies (7)

Say, what's the deal with the !THEME meta? It's an optional meta for the OMR spec, but it doesn't appear in the list of official metas, nor the list of known unofficial ones. LDCad doesn't know it, are there other programs that do? Is it helpful to include when submitting to the OMR, or is it just as easy to include the theme as a keyword?

  Quoting in posts
Posted by: Orion Pobursky - 2020-01-08, 21:30 - Forum: Website Suggestions/Requests/Discussion - Replies (7)

Since we use a hybrid threaded model, I’m toying with turning off automatic quoting. This mean that the post you are replying to won’t be quoted unless you explicitly check the quote box next to the post.

Thoughts?

  Primitives with mixed subdivisions
Posted by: Gerald Lasser - 2020-01-08, 21:07 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (4)

I am working on the Belville Door, 33216, which has a rounded narrow side which goes along another curve. So naturally it should be a torus.

Now comes the problem: The major radius is 69.5 LDU, the minor radius is 2.5 LDU. The size of the major radius calls for a 48 segment division, but for the other dimension 48 segments are way too much.

So I think a set of primitives would make sense, that have a 48 segment division for the major radius, but a standard 16 segment division for the minor one. This could apply if the major radius is more than 10 times the minor one.

Also, if those primitives, made by the primgen2, have 'only' 4 decimals, the scaling to a radius of 70 leads to gaps, extending this to 5 decimals is a benefit for those applications.

Currently I made a subfile for this special torus-"primitive"

What's your opinion?

  Time for another LDConfig update?

362 Transparent Blue Opal, see https://www.newelementary.com/2020/01/le....html#more
Seems we missed two other colors already available in 2019, 351 Transparent Bright Green with Glitter and 341 Transparent Bright Orange with Glitter (above linked page, at the end)

  Part 3049 issue
Posted by: Orion Pobursky - 2020-01-07, 19:13 - Forum: Parts Tracker Discussion - Replies (6)

For reference:
Rebrickable: https://rebrickable.com/parts/3049d/slop...d-holder/#
Bricklink: https://www.bricklink.com/TL/10698.jpg

Our 'a' version matches their 'a'. However, our 'c' is their 'b' and our 'b' doesn't seem to exist.

  Look for part cockpit and trainbase from 7897 & 60051
Posted by: jaekel - 2020-01-04, 23:39 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (2)

Hello,
I use LeoCAD very often and it is a great software.
I have used it for many designs.
For my next project I need some Lego parts which are unfortunately not in the standard and also not in the unofficial library.
Would it be possible to add
the part 4427073 (6x30 trainbase with battery and IR receiver) from set 7897,
the part 4294137 (cockpit) from the set 7897 and 
the part 6078201 (cockpit) from the set 60051
to the brick library?
Or has anyone built this part before and could make available it for me?

Best Regards

Sven

  Castle torso patterns
Posted by: Yann Bouzon - 2020-01-04, 15:53 - Forum: Parts Tracker Discussion - Replies (1)

Hello all,

I'm working on the 6 pattern torso (front & back) of Castle 2013-2014 serie. The think is, the 973p40 - 4z : Castle range of seems to be soon full (actually some torso of Castle Fantasy Era are missing too).
What range can I use ? It would be nice if the six new 973p4_ parts had a continuous range of part number  Blush

I wonder if the LDraw system could shift the pattern rule from BBBBBpCC to BBBBBpCCC (like 973p41 becomes 973p401 etc..) in order to allow more parts for each range (36 parts max to 99+ if using letters)
Just asking, I don't intend to do a revolution as I'm new in LDraw !  Big Grin

Thanks for your feedback.
Yann
