I cant seem to find any of the parts in the library.

Kind Regards

  Insert callout final step near PLI in the first step
Posted by: Simone - 2018-04-16, 21:10 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (6)

Hello
i'm using MLCAD and LPUB3D.
Is it possible to insert the full assembled callout as you can see in the last callout step, near PLI in the first callout step like LEGO do, so you can see what are you building when you start a callout?

thanks 
regards

  Which shortcuts should be in our library and which not?
Posted by: Steffen - 2018-04-14, 18:57 - Forum: Parts Tracker Discussion - Replies (12)

at the review of 15396c02.dat

http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cg...396c02.dat

a discussion started about which shortcuts should be in our library and which not.

let's continue the discussion here Smile

I copied the comments from that part's review to here, see below:

  Good PNG editor?
Posted by: Roland Melkert - 2018-04-09, 19:00 - Forum: Off-Topic - Replies (10)

Anyone know of a good free png editor capable of (also) editing the alpha channel.

I need to create stacks of small images for use in LDCad 2 but the transparency stuff is taking way too much time using GIMP.

  Tweak submodel instances individually
Posted by: Christoph Wienands - 2018-04-09, 14:42 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (3)

In my model, I placed two instances of a submodel. Now I need tweak those instances (rotate and shift pieces along pins) to make them fit within the main model. The problem is that I need to tweak them in different ways, in a mirrored fashion to be specific. I have studied the advanced editing tutorial at http://www.melkert.net/LDCad/docs/advEdit but the nested editing is not sufficient here. Whatever changes I make in one submodel instance, have exactly the opposite effect of what is necessary in the other instance.

Is there a way to decouple submodel instances from their original so that changes in Nested mode don't affect the original or other instances? Or do you have any other ideas? The mirroring feature by the way did not help either.

  NXT Motor 9842-1
Posted by: Andy Congdon - 2018-04-09, 9:11 - Forum: Official Models - Replies (2)

I am using lego parts to make a control system for Secondary Education.

I have access to an engineering shop, but need to provide accurate dimensions for the hole layout / external body size of the Interactive Servo Motor (9842-1) on NXT2.0.

I have found this information for beams (http://i.stack.imgur.com/83RL2.png) but need to get more accurate information about the motor to embed it in a backplate. Hoping someone can help.

  Patterned elements from 21314 Tron: Legacy Lightcycles set
Posted by: Orion Pobursky - 2018-04-08, 21:39 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (2)

There are 3 torsos (front, back, and 2 with printed arms), 3 legs, 2 new heads, 1 helmet (which is unique to the set), 2 dishes, and 2 discs that have patterns. I don’t have time to do it myself but I can provide as many detailed pictures as needed if someone wants to give them a shot.

Also, there are several other, non-patterned parts as well

  npeghol3 is broken
Posted by: Santeri Piippo - 2018-04-08, 6:48 - Forum: Parts Tracker Discussion - Replies (1)

Okay so I just discovered that npeghol3 doesn't create a proper, closed shape. The x-coordinates of the rectangles are truncated to ±6.36 while the circles have verts at x=±6.3639. So it suffers from rounding errors that propagate into the parts and create gaps, should we fix these?

I should've known that the 6.36 couldn't be really correct but just rolled with it.

  Link to 'View Today's Posts' disappear
Posted by: Magnus Forsberg - 2018-04-07, 8:37 - Forum: Website Suggestions/Requests/Discussion - Replies (3)

I'm not logged on to the forum on my phone. I wisit it as a Guest. I use Chrome on a android phone.
There is a link 'View Today's Posts' in the top right, below the header, I have to click to get the latest posts.


When I use that link, and after I get a fresh page with the latest posts, the link is gone. It simply disappear from the page.
The next time I want to refresh the search I have to go back to an older, cached page to find the link again. I noted this change in the behaviour yesterday. Previously the link was always present in a grey bar, below the login bar.

  Main Wiki link goes to a strange place
Posted by: Travis Cobbs - 2018-04-06, 17:31 - Forum: Website Suggestions/Requests/Discussion - Replies (2)

The main link to the Wiki in the Documents menu at the top of ldraw.org goes to Category:Articles, which redirects to User:Mikeheide/Bookmarks. I think it would be better if it linked to the Wiki's main page (or wiki.ldraw.org, which redirects to the main page).
