Hello there!

After a few years of not using the LDraw-family of tools, I bought the Lego coaster set 10261 and decided to start a little hobby programming project on the side. I'm working on a roller coaster designer tool. Specifically, I'm trying to include two pieces of functionality that will be useful additions to the already existing tools:

• Instead of positioning each brick individually, just add them at the end of the track automatically, similar to RollerCoaster Tycoon (anybody?  )
  
• And... it will automatically generate a nice support structure, based on the position of the tracks, avoiding collision with the track itself or having too many pillars and ideally also connecting them with horizontal bars like in the 10261 set
  

I'm trying to update some of my models for the OMR and I'm having problems with generating new parts for the Hose Flexible 8.5L without Tabs. This part should generate with a fixed 51 segments, 50 754.dat and 1 756.dat. This doesn't happen. Even if I force the length to be 170 ldu, the extra segments just generate with a null matrix. Any help on how to force LDCad to render the correct fixed length is appreciated.

Guys,

I find all these shortcuts:

http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cg...c01-f1.dat
http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cg...c01-f3.dat

with all the different angles unnecessary, as it would bloat our library if we start adding variants of all the hinges. The Flexible_Section has been added for parts such as books, laptops or suitcases which cannot be naturally separated.

Please delete the above variants from the PT.

Hi everybody

After half a year I would like to come back to my announcement. After re-designing the compressor into studless, building and testing it, I finally made a design which pleases my demand (compactness and functionality). For those of you who are interested, please find a first screenshot below.

I put already all animations into the script and I just need to render it and cut it together to a video. But as I have learnt, making movies with POV is a time consuming thing.


Happy new year!




ps. It'll take some time to release a video, because I'd like to provide audio comments and explanations for it.

After a partial update, I received this error message. How can I get that away?
Deleting and reinstalling alone is not enough

Hey,

half a year ago I started creating Hubelino (Duplo compatible Marble Run) parts for LDraw. Now someone at eurobricks asked if it would be possible to create them. Since I uploaded them, someone here might also be interested (some are still not finished).

You can find a preview of the currently existing LDraw compatible parts here; and you can download them: hubelino.zip (I hope I did not miss anything).

Could anyone here read the design number hopefully embossed on bicolor minifig legs such as https://brickset.com/parts/design-21019 ? 21019 is the design number of the hips+legs assembly, but I'd like to know the number for the left/right legs. Probably different from 3816/3817 as it's a different injection process.

...and plenty of new LDraw parts for 2019 !

How should a texmap image be numbered?

Some of the images have the same number as the part it is printed on.
Some of the images have the same number as the sticker sheet. Should the 5 or 7 digit number be used?
Some of the images have the same number as the cardboard design use.

All of the stickers from the EV3 set use the 5 digit sticker number. Why?

Is there somewhere an standard for how we should review/handle parts which use a texmap image?


Question regarding partnumber u9252:
Bricklink have LEGO partnumbers on these four cardboards, 191764-191767.
What number should be used on these cards, and there texmap images?
