  Job posting: Looking for Official Model Repository admin
Posted by: Willy Tschager - 2018-11-30, 19:55 - Forum: LDraw.org Announcements - Replies (59)

Hi,

WE WANT YOU! As new administrator for the Official Model Repository. It is your job to pick the files people post to the Official models thread, cross-check that they follow the rules for the OMR and add them to the database. Ideally you check also that they have been build according to the official building instruction.

Interested? Just reply in this thread.

  Suggestion for showing process within the PT
Posted by: Max Martin Richter - 2018-11-26, 17:03 - Forum: Website Suggestions/Requests/Discussion - Replies (19)

Dear all,
I got the request in the LAN forum, if it would be possible to bring an update with handled parts in a scheduled base - like every 2 weeks or every month.

The more I think of this idea, the more I like it. I think a list with new uploaded parts, parts with at least 2 cert votes, parts with Admin cert and parts that are released in an update could handle all these things.


I think, this would increase the user experience, if it would be a subpage with a link from the front page. Actually I feel, that a normal user is not very satisfied, that the main page doesn't change the content that often and most of the AFOLS I know, don't even know about the PartsTracker and it's function and some of them had already asked me in the part, if LDraw is dead or not. With this future they could see, that something is going on and that several parts are updated or whatever.


Best regards
Max

  Naming Convention for Text Primitives
Posted by: Ulrich Röder - 2018-11-20, 4:01 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (17)

After having read....

http://www.ldraw.org/library/primref/#misctext

.....through these rules for the naming of text-primitives, I have discovered a mental conflict for me:

The identification of the style ("Bold", "Italic", "Condensed" .... and so on) remains to be missed.

and of course, and certainly, a combination of these different styles

How should that be handled?

As a recent example:

http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cg...peswn7.dat



| Type | Swiss BT | Number | "7" | Bold |

| type | sw | n | 7 | ? |



How should the "Bold" be included in the figuring?


"b" for Bold as an initial :   "b_typeswn7.dat"     <<< about like that?

or as appendix :                "typeswn7b.dat"        or better ...... 7_b?


It would be good to add a general definition to that, including a fixed letter choice for the styles.

Looking forward to a timely happy solution

  Transparent stickers on transparent bricks with opaque print
Posted by: Jaco van der Molen - 2018-11-12, 21:45 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (5)

Hi all,

I was wondering how to make transparent stickers on transparent bricks with opaque print.
Like the windows on the side in set 40252. 

[Image: 40252-1.jpg]

Reading this thread I don't quite follow
https://forums.ldraw.org/thread-22204.html

I thought I'd just make a png image with transparent background and the azure blue triangular shape.
But applying that and make the brick transparent makes the pattern transparent too.

Can I achieve an opaque pattern?

  BB-8
Posted by: Nathan S - 2018-11-12, 1:35 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (3)

Greetings.  I was surprised to find that BB-8 (or BB-9E) weren't anywhere on a list, and neither were the base parts.  If someone is board, no real need for it, just some pieces that would be good to have done.

  Group removed inside a callout still visible on the main model
Posted by: Simone - 2018-11-10, 15:21 - Forum: General LDraw.org Discussion - Replies (4)

Hello guys
i have a main model with a callout. Inside callout i use the command to remove a group

Code:
0 !LPUB REMOVE GROUP

and it works prefectly during callout steps, but when i return in the main model step with the submodel placed i still see parts removed before.
Is it possible to not show in the upper model the parts removed with REMOVE GROUP command?

You can find an example attached.

thanks
regards

Simon

I've been trying to make some stickers for a NES I made in LeoCAD, but everytime I load the .dat file in LDCad, it doesn' work!
   
If someone could tell me what I'm doing wrong, that would be great! Here are some more pictures:

  Title annotation in LPub3D
Posted by: Jaco van der Molen - 2018-11-06, 19:57 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (7)

Hi all,

A while ago I posted this thread:
https://forums.ldraw.org/thread-17401.html

Now I am struggling with the annotation for Technic Beams.

I haven't got a clue how to write a regular expression, so is there anyone here who can?

What I am aiming at is that the length of beams is annotated for beams of length 3 or longer and not the lift arms or bent beams.
[Edit]: and including the half or thin beams, but not the modified ones.

Thanks in advance!

[Edit]
Here is the list I want the length to be annotated:
32523.dat                  Technic Beam  3
