[split] Teemu's Part Checker

we have brought the BFC-problematic files to nearly 0 now.

just a small handful of "weird relicts" are remaining:
https://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptbfcstatus.cgi

I suggest to delete all of them from the PT:
- one is a "minifig torso + head" physical shortcut assembly which - if we would add these combinations to the library - would make the library size explode due to the possible combination
- the others are mockups which have no visual resemblence with the parts they mimick and are waiting unfinished for years now on the PT.

All now deleted.

LDCheck - part checking program (1.0)

Posted by: Santeri Piippo - 2019-06-24, 7:34 - Forum: Parts Author Tools - Replies (13)

I had some time to work on the checking tool and I put up a new version up at the usual location, roughly doubling the amount of detected issue types. I've attached here a table of the current implementation status of the tool:

.pdf problems-2019-06-24.pdf (Size: 36.15 KB / Downloads: 13)
A couple of things that I'd like to discuss on our current hold reasons table:

"HELP entry length": didn't we decide that help entry length was not limited?
"Filename ending does not match declared LDRAW_ORG file type.": what does this mean? How do filename endings correlate with LDRAW_ORG file type? I guess subfiles have 's01' and so on but other than that I don't really get it.
"Filename ending does not match declared LDRAW_ORG part type qualifier." likewise...?
"Wrong BFC command found." What is a wrong BFC command?
"T-Junction detected." T-junction detection can be very difficult to implement and only a small minority of T-junctions are actual problems. Do we really want to automate this?

	There a few links to Lugnet's Partsref scattered about the PT. What should we replace them with? Maybe we should roll our own solution?

Need help with primitives

Posted by: Vincent Messenet - 2019-06-20, 8:27 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (2)

Hi,

I'm working right now on a part, its image is available here: https://imgur.com/NzGgDBp

I try to use primitives as far as I can because there are many rounded parts.

So far I have been able to do the attached file but now I'm stuck because I cannot use a ndis primitive to continue further because the vertex will be in the black border. Could you please help me identifying which primitive I can use to complete that part or perhaps what change should be done to move forward?

Thanks for your help!

LDView povray export

Posted by: Michael Horvath - 2019-06-20, 6:47 - Forum: LDraw File Processing and Conversion - Replies (18)

Here are some things I suggest for LDView's povray export. They all make things easier when using an external file to set variables, which I do often. I.e. I will create a "wrapper" file that is used in common by several scenes.

1. Precede all variable declarations with #IFNDEF. For instance:

Change this

Code:
#declare LDXQual = 3;

To this

Code:
#ifndef (LDXQual) #declare LDXQual = 3; #end

2. Check the variable's value when disabling lights and camera. For instance:

Change this

Code:
// Camera

#ifndef (LDXSkipCamera)

camera {

    #declare LDXCamAspect = image_width/image_height;

    location LDXCameraLoc

    sky LDXCameraSky

    right LDXCamAspect * < -1,0,0 >

    look_at LDXCameraLookAt

    angle 77.011589

}

#end

To this

Code:
// Camera

#ifndef (LDXSkipCamera) #declare LDXSkipCamera = false; #end

#if (LDXSkipCamera = false)

camera {

    #declare LDXCamAspect = image_width/image_height;

    location LDXCameraLoc

    sky LDXCameraSky

    right LDXCamAspect * < -1,0,0 >

    look_at LDXCameraLookAt

    angle 77.011589

}

#end

3. Create a variable to enable/disable the background. For instance:

Code:
#if (LDXShowBackground = true) background { color rgb <LDXBgR,LDXBgG,LDXBgB> } #end

4. Lastly, if you could do the camera calculations inside the POV file instead of "hardcoding" the values, that would be great. For instance, start with latitude, longitude and radius to generate the camera location; then translate the camera based on the center of the bounding box. (I'm not 100% sure exactly what LDView does to output the camera.)

Thank you!!
