  Patterned part numbering
Posted by: Merlijn Wissink - 2017-02-08, 7:52 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (1)

LDraw has a (in my opinion kinda weird) standard for patterned part numbering. However, sites like Rebrickable and Brickset nowadays scrape a lot of information from Lego itself. This information also includes the design id for patterned parts. Like every brick, every pattern has its own unique design-id.

For example, this part has the design-id 25660 and this part has the design-id 32734.

Would it be a good idea to change the patterned-part numbering of LDraw parts (for future parts obviously, not for current parts) to use the design-id when available?

  18910
Posted by: Merlijn Wissink - 2017-02-07, 21:11 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (2)

I hope nobody minds all my parts requests. They are just requests after all, nobody is forced to do anything with 'm  Wink

It would be nice if someone could create part 18910. This one is also available as an export from LDD.

  89801 & 18896
Posted by: Merlijn Wissink - 2017-02-07, 19:58 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (5)

It would be cool if someone could make proper LDraw parts of parts 89801 18896.
An LDD version is available for both parts.

  30350b and 30350c
Posted by: Merlijn Wissink - 2017-02-07, 19:43 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (1)

The LDraw library currently has just a plain 30350.dat, but on Bricklink and Rebrickable there are actually 3 versions: 30350a, 30350b and 30350c.
The current 30350.dat is the same as 30350a, but b and c don't exist in LDraw (as far as I know).

Some comparison images can be found here.

Could someone make the b and c versions?  Smile

  Parts List After Building

I've been working on a mod for a long time now and am wondering if there will be a list of my parts that I used when I am done. Does anyone know if I can?

  [Bug] LPub3D & POV-Ray for rendering with a space in the directory path
Posted by: David Manley - 2017-02-03, 6:13 - Forum: LDraw File Processing and Conversion - Replies (2)

Trevor,

I've identified what I believe is a bug when using POV-Ray for rendering images in LPub3D. When the directory path to the LDraw file does not contain any spaces, POV-Ray is invoked successfully and the appropriate images rendered. An example of the command line generated by LPub3D to invoke POV-Ray (from the POV-Ray log) is:

Code:
Preset INI file is 'D:\USERS\VISTA\DJM\DOCUMENTS\POV-RAY\V3.7\INI\QUICKRES.INI', section is '[800x600, AA 0.3]'.
Rendering using command line '+ID:\users\djm\personal\2017\LEGO\BUILDI~1\DACHSH~1\LPub3D\tmp\PLILDR~1.POV
+OD:\users\djm\personal\2017\LEGO\building_instructions\dachshund\LPub3D\parts\4589_128_1753_150_DPCM_1_23_-45.png +W1753 +H1240 +UA +LD:\PROGRA~1\LDraw\LGEO\lg
+LD:\PROGRA~1\LDraw\LGEO\ar +A'.
Rendering with 2 threads.
Persistence of Vision(tm) Ray Tracer Version 3.7.0.msvc10
This is an official version prepared by the POV-Ray Team. See the
documentation on how to contact the authors or visit us on the
internet at http://www.povray.org/

However, when the directory path contains a space, POV-Ray generates an error (from the POV-Ray log);

Code:
Preset INI file is 'D:\USERS\VISTA\DJM\DOCUMENTS\POV-RAY\V3.7\INI\QUICKRES.INI', section is '[800x600, AA 0.3]'.
Rendering using command line '+ID:\users\djm\personal\2017\LEGO\BUILDI~1\DACHSH~1\LPub3D\tmp\CSILDR~1.POV "+OD:\users\djm\personal\2017\LEGO\building

Cannot process command-line at ' +W1753 +H1240 +UA +LD:\PROGRA~1\LDraw\LGEO\lg +LD:\PROGRA~1\LDraw\LGEO\ar +A' due to a parse error.
This is not a valid command-line. Check the command-line for syntax errors, correct them, and try again.
Valid command-line switches are explained in detail in the reference part of the documentation.
Failed to start render: Failed to parse command-line option

Note the difference between the respective +O command line argument quoting. The first (without spaces)

Code:
+OD:\users\djm\personal\2017\LEGO\building_instructions\dachshund\LPub3D\parts\4589_128_1753_150_DPCM_1_23_-45.png

compared to the second )with spaces);

Code:
"+OD:\users\djm\personal\2017\LEGO\building
instructions\dachshund\LPub3D\assem\main_10_whole_rotated_060-00-head_1_0_0_0_1_0_0_0_1_1_1753_150_DPCM_1.png"

I believe the issues may be the double quotes around the entire +O parameter values, causing POV-Ray not to see the +O as intended.

Regards,

David

  [LDPatternCreator] Release 1.6.3 (Background Image Performance)
Posted by: Nils Schmidt - 2017-02-02, 20:24 - Forum: Parts Author Tools - Replies (2)

Hello,

I did some performance improvements in my pattern creator program (took half an hour).

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

Change log:

New features:

  • The drawcall performance for the background image is now improved. The overall look and feel stays the same.
As always, I included a short readme.htm in the installation directory.


Cheers & Leg Godt


Nils

  Forum search engine underpowered?
Posted by: Philippe Hurbain - 2017-02-02, 14:02 - Forum: Website Suggestions/Requests/Discussion - Replies (3)

I was trying to find again this post, so I keyed in "ldcad tread long" in the search field that returned nothing (though all these words ARE in the post). Of course I didn't remember the exact words used so I tried many variants, without any success. Finally I called Google to the rescue, and "ldcad tread long site:ldraw.org" cheerfully gave me the right post (I tried variants there too and many of them gave the right answer despite the exact words were not in the post...)

Ideas to improve?
