Hello gracious part makers.

Does anybody feel like making 18895?  No big deal if not, but it would be nice.

Of more importance to me, could somebody work on some of the stickers from the two Audi Speed Champions sets?  I really am just looking for the Audi logo.

Thank you all.

Do anyone know, or remember why,  there are two different subfiles to 32086?

32086 use 32086s01.dat twice, in i mirrored position. 
32086ps1 use 551s01.dat once + two different pattern subfiles, 551ps1a and 551ps1b

I want to make 32086ps1 BFC compliant and correct other issues.
My idea is to change both parts, and replace 32086s01 with the content from 551s01. It's the better version.
And I want to inline the two pattern subiles and make them obsolete.

But how do I merge the History of the two subfiles, 32086s01 and 551s01?
What do I do of 551s01? Should it become obsolete too, or do I need to make it a Move to-file?

I had a look at this oddball model: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.ph...nt=2825330 and noticed that the author uses parts that have disappeared from parts tracker, namely x913 and x914.
Using this query http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/tracker/act...s/x914.dat I see that x914 was renamed as parts/3142s04.dat, but this reference is not available either... and this query http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/tracker/act...142s04.dat doesn't show any delete or file name change, but parts/3142s04.dat is no longer on PT...

Finally, Peeron links x913/x914 to parts 31057/31050 but these are... Duplo dinosaurs !!!????


Any hint???

Hey,

here is a new release with one new feature and four bug fixes.

Download and install the latest LDPatternCreator release directly from sourceforge.net.

Change log:

New features:

• The program restores now the visibility of the grid and the colour bar on start.
  

• Crashes on export (thanks to Philo for testing!)
  
• *.dat-Export: the proposed file name contained a full path to the LDPatternCreator executable.
  
• The projection data import modified the pattern metadata.
  
• The calculation for round primitives (circle / oval) was incorrect

3. Unlimited Undo/Redo
   
4. Use/define code snippets
   
5. Editing features like In lining of parts, commenting etc.
   
6. Seamless integration of L3P error check of parts at a button click
   
7. Integration of ML-Cad and LD-View
   
8. Plugin-Support Expand -- LDDesignPad with your own plugins in C++ or Delphi. Code samples / example plugins are included
   

Hi all,

Again, something about texture mapping... this time, on transparent parts.

When I create that, the pattern is also rendered a little transparent in LDCad.

In LDView, the plane where the texture is on becomes a little opaque.

Can this effect be undone?


Thanks again.

Hello, I was wondering if this part was already made in LDraw? I am new here and so far I have been unable to find the classic Boba/Jango Fett Helmet (the combined open visor helmet and jetpack piece).

http://rebrickable.com/parts/x50px1/mini...ighlights/

If this part is not available yet, I would love to see it in LDraw in the future if that is possible.

-Thank you for your time and amazing work,

Hi,

This is my first time here. I am looking for a way to add additional option for LSynth in MLCad. Iam trying to add WeDo2.0 Power Functions Cable into the current configuration. I managed to design the .dat file by modify LS70.dat and save it as LS72.dat. Now, i would like to add the new option whenever i am using the MLCad.

Here is the thing i have tried:

1. I add some additional code for Lsynth.mpd from “C:\Program Files (x86)\LDraw\LSynth\bin”. For the record, I did not know where to place the “ldr” file which written there. I search my whole computer for similar file, I did not find it.

2. I tried to modify MLCad.ini from "C:\Users\Public\Documents\Ldraw"
   
     3.jpg (Size: 34.92 KB / Downloads: 66)
   

So, I have a question regarding LPub3D, or rather using the available meta commands in a specific way.
I have a submodel that is 'formed'; all hinges are rotated. Then I have a copy of that submodel which is non-formed; completely straight. I want LPub to generate instructions for the non-formed version, but then showing the formed version in the assembly. I hope that makes sense to anyone.

Is there a way to do this? I can vaguely remember I did something like this in the past, but I wasn't able to find my implementation so I'm not sure it's even possible. Any ideas?
