A while back I released a spreadsheet to do some math for things that might crop up during model and part editing. I recently unearthed it and converted it to a Google Sheet. While there are online calculators out there for most of this stuff, I like having one stop shoppoing. Note that this a is work is progress so there may be errors and other things wrong. Hope someone finds this useful.

Hi all,

The description of 32528 Technic Panel Fairing 6# seems wrong.
Whereas all identification numbers of panels start with the hashtag, this one precedes it.

Should be Technic Panel Fairing #6?

Hi there,

I've recently discovered that some parts have a !CMDLINE c{color} statement.

Can someone explain the utility of this?
Should it also be added systematicaly to any parts that is supposed to have been made in only one color (like set specific patterned parts)? What if for some reason a patterned parts is reissued in a some time with another color? How should we keep track on that?

Thanks.

Hello,

I've faced a problem while trying to replace an attached file by another one in a forum post : here.
Apparently, when into the "Full Edit" mode, one cannot "Remove" an attached file (the button wasn't working with me).

While waiting for a bug fix, may an admin delete the attached file "41492 - Captain America & Iron Man.mpd"

Thanks a lot,


Damien.

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.
