Forgive me for such a basic question but I'm having issues and my Google-fu is failing me.

I have a line segment from P1 to P2

Assuming that the origin is P1, I can get the spherical coordinates (r, theta, phi) of line segment but I can't seem to figure out how to go from that to a rotation matrix. Any help, even in the form of a link to a explanation, would be appreciated

Hello,

Something is very wrong on this page:
http://www.ldraw.org/article/547.html

Some of the characteristics seam to trickle down to the colours lower down in the list.
Luminace, on to glitter, speckle, rubber, common
rubber, on to common
metal, on to milky

But the downloadable files seam fine.

I have installation issues, problems finding files and/or editing them. v2 seems to have solved this though the link is broken. Thanks!

Hi everybody

I encounter a slight issue with MPDcenter since the last update (Version 2.5.0.0).

When i create an .LDR file from MPD file at a library level, all the parts created with Lsynth not being in the main file are relocated in a random way.
I have then to relocate then manualy. It didn't occur with previous versions of MPDcenter.

Is it a known issue? Is there a fix?

Thanks by advance for your input.

Hi all,

Thank you for acceptance in this forum. I would like to test the animation functionality of the SR3DBuilder ver. 0.9.7.81 program and i want to give me a link with some files with this format.
TIA

Sometimes due to the nature of plastic parts, when a real life model is translated into a computer model there may be some discrepencies in part fit up. This is especially true of Technic models where the complicated angles can lead to shortfalls/excesses of 4-5 ldu. While I'm willing to live with a difference of fractions of an ldu up to 1-2 ldu, when I hit the 4-5 range I become dissatisfied. I'm just curious how other authors deal with gaps or overlap in parts when building models.

   

Hi,

I have several City models flying around which I have done over the years (all need some tweaks for OMR compliance etc.), so more to come.
As a start 4432 - Garbage Truck.
OMR compliant: yes
Known errors: No stickers, no minifigs

Cheers,
Steffen

File 98100.dat is labelled "Brick  2 x  2 Round Sloped" within LDraw, but is more accurately labelled (in my opinion) as "Cone 2 x 2 Truncated" at BrickLink.  

The physical part is a cone.  And we already have "Cone" as a top-level descriptor in LDraw.  Can we please get this part file re-labelled accordingly?  

Thanks,

Hello,

this is my very first MOC and my very first attempt to work with LDraw. I hope someone can use the instructions for themselves.
It fit´s perfectly into the bay between the mandibles and clicks into place without any modification at the Falcon.
I´m proud of it!




And a real image during prototyping:


Don´t have too much fun

We've got hold voted parts sitting on the PT for ages. This thread should bring them into light and hopefully back on track. No particular order though.
