| [LDPatternCreator] Release 1.7.6 (improved triangle auto-completion) |
|

Hey,
this version improves triangle auto-completion with a collision check against reference lines.
I also added Ctrl as a suppressing key for deactiviating the active triangle auto-completion (hold Ctrl).
And it fixes minor quirks with the auto-completion feature introduced in version 1.7.5.
Download and install the latest LDPatternCreator release directly from sourceforge.net.
Any previous version should be uninstalled first. Your program configuration will be preserved.
Change log:
New features: - "Triangle Auto-Completion" takes reference lines into account.
- Pressing and holding the Ctrl key will deactivate the triangle auto-completion tool.
- LPC uses "ring" instead of "rin" for ring primitives.
Fixed bug: - Sometimes "Triangle Auto-Completion" did not enable the mode selection box.
As always, I included a short readme.htm in the installation directory.
Cheers & Leg Godt
Nils

| [LDPE] 1.8.80 Released (text editor calculations / better rounding / new grid / ARM) |

Hey,
for linetypes 1-5, !LPE VERTEX, !LPE CSG, !LPE DISTANCE and !LPE PROTRACTOR you can now do math in the text editor:
Code: 2 24 0 0 0 1 2.25+1| 1
after hitting enter this will become
2 24 0 0 0 1 3.25| 1
| is the cursor position
a complex example:
2 24 0 0 0 1 abs((2+cos(PI)-10)/4.0)| 1
results in
2 24 0 0 0 1 2.25| 1
| is the cursor position
The math also works with floating point number input fields.
I improved the rounding a little bit and added a new 3D grid (Ctrl+Shift+G).

As always, you can download LDPE from this page:
http://nilsschmidt1337.github.io/ldparteditor/
Changelog:
(6 new features and 1 bug fix)
With this release you will be able to...
- ...do simple math in the text editor (e.g. (-3+5)*2 and hit enter).
- ...do simple math in floating point number input fields.
- ...benefit from auto-rounding for the results of scripted expressions (e.g. 1.99999998 becomes 2).
- ...benefit from better rounding in general (e.g. for PathTruder results).
- ...try a new 3D grid (Ctrl+Shift+G).
- ...try LDPartEditor on ARM Macs.
The following critical issue is fixed:
- Undoing at the end of the file led to wrong line number.
The program was tested intensively with "real world" files.
However, something can go wrong in about 140.000 lines of code.
Installation on Windows:
- Download and extract LDPartEditor_win32_x64.zip
- Run LDPartEditor-1.8.80.msi
- Start LDPartEditor from the start menu
Installation on Linux:
- Download and extract LDPartEditor_linux_x64.zip
- Install ldparteditor_1.8.80-1_amd64.deb
- Start LDPartEditor from the menu or via launcher
Installation on Mac OS X:
- Download and extract LDPartEditor_mac_x64.zip
- Mount LDPartEditor-1.8.80.dmg
- Drag LDPartEditor.app to the Applications folder
- Copy ldparteditor.sh to your home folder
4a. Open a Terminal.app and run ./ldparteditor.sh
4b. Or open a Terminal.app and run /Applications/LDPartEditor.app/Contents/MacOS/LDPartEditor
I listen carefully to your requests and possible complaints. Please leave me a message, with your thoughts and wishes to further improve the software.
LDPE is a 3D CAD application: The overall system requirements are higher. While I recommend to use a powerful 64-bit multicore system, it could be possible, to run LDPE on older machines as well.
System Requirements:
Minimum System Requirements:
- OpenGL 2.1 compatible Graphics Card
- Operating System (64-bit): Windows [7 or newer], Linux [e.g. Ubuntu Linux >=14.4], Mac OS X [>=10.6]
- CPU: Multicore-Processor e.g. Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Athlon II (>2.0Ghz)
- RAM: 4GB
- Video-Memory: 1 GB
- Free Disk Space: 150 MB
Recommended Requirements:
- Operating System (64bit): Windows 7,8,10,11, Linux [e.g. Ubuntu Linux >=14.4], Mac OS X [>=10.6]
- OpenGL 3.3 compatible Graphics Card
- CPU: Multicore-Processor with 4 cores (or more)
- RAM: >4 GB
- Video-Memory: >1 GB
- Free Disk Space: 500 MB
- For a faster start, LDPartEditor and the LDraw™ library should be installed on an SSD.

Set 76914 Ferrari 812 Competizione contains several printed pieces:
80177 and 80178 Slope Curved 3 x 2
65633 Windscreen 6 x 6 x 1 1/3
3005 Brick 1x1
24246 Tile 1 x 1 Half Circle
Printed pieces make a big difference in how a model looks, especially in this case the sloped curves and windscreen, while the other parts make the finishing touches. If anyone is willing to perhaps create (some of) these that would be much appreciated!

| [LDPE] 1.8.79 Released (inline without comments / no cancel with mouse / bugfixes) |

Hey,
this version fulfils a few wishes from Fredrik. It also fixes some small bugs and runs again on Intel Macs.
And a right click will not cancel adding a line/triangle/quad by default anymore (you can customise this behaviour).
As always, you can download LDPE from this page:
http://nilsschmidt1337.github.io/ldparteditor/
Changelog:
(3 new features and 3 bug fixes)
With this release you will be able to...
- ...inline a selection without any comments (ctrl+click on inline button).
- ...decide if the right mouse click cancels the action to add a line/triangle/quad or not. Cancel is not the default anymore! ("Tools..."->"Options...").
- ...have a shortcut which adds an empty subfile reference line, mirrored on X (Ctrl-Shift-R).
The following critical issue are fixed:
- Join Selection (Text Editor) had problems when INVERTNEXT was on top of the selection.
- Text line selection in the text editor (by clicking on the line numbers) resulted in wrong inlining when the next line was a reference (type 1).
- It was not possible to import empty STL files without an error ("File not found" was displayed).
The program was tested intensively with "real world" files.
However, something can go wrong in about 140.000 lines of code.
Installation on Windows:
- Download and extract LDPartEditor_win32_x64.zip
- Run LDPartEditor-1.8.79.msi
- Start LDPartEditor from the start menu
Installation on Linux:
- Download and extract LDPartEditor_linux_x64.zip
- Install ldparteditor_1.8.79-1_amd64.deb
- Start LDPartEditor from the menu or via launcher
Installation on Mac OS X:
- Download and extract LDPartEditor_mac_x64.zip
- Mount LDPartEditor-1.8.79.dmg
- Drag LDPartEditor.app to the Applications folder
- Copy ldparteditor.sh to your home folder
