  IUP - Version 3.24 crash on LDCad - Version 1.6b
Posted by: Jarema - 2018-03-24, 13:26 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (7)

I have successful run on both Windows 7 x64 /host/ and Windows XP x86 /emulated/. But when comes to run under LDCad is fail.


Quote:error loading module 'iuplua53' from file 'G:\LDraw\Apps\LDCad\iuplua53.dll':
    Nie można odnaleźć określonej procedury.

Script main run failed.

I put any necessary *.dll files into LDCad root directory and in script use:

Code:
require( "iuplua53" )
iup.Message('YourApp','Finished Successfully!')

  Cloth Minifigure Skirt #16816 and #99257
Posted by: ShireBrickz.com - 2018-03-24, 2:09 - Forum: Part Requests - No Replies

Has anyone created either of these parts?

Cloth Minifigure Skirt #16816 and #99257


Having trouble finding in the library.
Trying to find a dat file for either of these to create a custom pattern for them using Ldraw Pattern Creator

I note that LDD has the Kilt version of this piece 99257pb01 in the folded form ready to use.
Does LCad allow the use of folded versions of these as I can only find flat versions of the cloth caps so far.

Thanks in advance
Adam

  door mechanism
Posted by: Joscha - 2018-03-22, 17:08 - Forum: MOCs (My Own Creations) - Replies (7)

Hi

this is nothing big. I just wanted to share a video of my first LDcad model. Since my first contact with LDraw.org I have the idea to design and hopefully later build a large spaceship. This door mechanism shall be integrated into it. A big thankyou to Roland for his great work. It is really fun to design things, to animate them and to render them. I just miss the space navigator integration  Big Grin

  available colours of Lego parts in LDcad
Posted by: Joscha - 2018-03-21, 9:15 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (6)

Hi

Maybe this is a very beginner question  Rolleyes but LDcad offers me a variety of colours for every brick. This is nice because it gives freedom for designing models but I always ask myself whether a specific brick is available in a specific colour. I remember that MLcad offered only some colours depending on the part.

 Is there an easy way in LDcad to see/switch to the fabricated colours?

Regards
Joscha

  Issue with AIOI 2018-01
Posted by: Simon Denscombe - 2018-03-20, 17:46 - Forum: All Other Programs. - Replies (8)

I downloaded the AIOI 2018-01 and installed by accepting all the defaults.

LDView opens and renders Cafe Corner correctly.

However when I open LDCAD I get the following:

LDCAD 1.6a Error
can't open file 'C:\Users\Public\Documents\LDraw\complete.zip' (error 2:the system cannot find the file specified.)
[OK]

I have checked that file path and the file does not exist.

Any ideas?  This is on a fresh PC that hasn't had any LDraw applications installed on it before.  Operating System is Windows 10 1703 64-Bit.

  LPub3D 2.2 released but ...
Posted by: David Manley - 2018-03-20, 8:32 - Forum: LDraw File Processing and Conversion - Replies (5)

Lpub3D has been updated to version 2.2. However, I'd be wary of installing it.

I downloaded and installed it (Windows 7, 32 bit). I encountered the following issues;
1) when using LDView as the renderer, if the checkbox for rendering multiple files is ticked (in Preferences), LDView prompts me for a file to open. This does not happen when processing the instruction's image single file at a time. N.B. the LDView being invoked is the custom one distributed with LPub3D rather than the LDView installed from the AIOI.
2) Selecting POV-Ray as the render results in no parts appearing in the parts list nor any assembly images
3) Some parts are not getting displayed in the instruction (e.g. PF medium motor) rather than being displayed faded.
4) The uninstall program claims LPub3D is not installed. Further, the program is not listed as a program which can be uninstalled via the control panel.

I'm now going to try to revert back to 2.0.20, as it seems to be the most stable release.

Regards,

David

  Original Grey Technic motor from 1977: 6216a
Posted by: Jens Bauer - 2018-03-19, 12:22 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (67)

Hi all.

This is my first submission (and first forum post).

I've submitted a new part; the original 4.5V electric technic motor from 1977 with 2 subparts:
Electric Technic Motor 4.5V
Electric Technic Motor 4.5V Core
Electric Technic Motor 4.5V Shaft

I'm hoping to reserve a subpart name for a special variant of this, which is quite rare.
The subpart I'd like is an arrow, which is on top of some of the motors (these have a nylon bearing and never squeak).

My work is strongly derived from Chris Dee's work; I only made (calculated) changes by hand to the .dat files using a text-editor.

  worth to post a model on 'LEGO ideas'
Posted by: Joscha - 2018-03-18, 8:27 - Forum: MOCs (My Own Creations) - Replies (4)

Hi

Since a few weeks I am clicking around for lego stuff and found the Lego ideas page. I had a look on the proposed models there. Some are really nice i.e. the LL928 comes home.

But after all Lego has to give her approval. Looking over the approved models (so those ones which gathered already 10k votes) it is hard for me say why this one and not the other one. I mean, obviously Lego is a Company and has to follow their market strategy. That is understandable.

But, is it really worth to post a model there? Have you done it already? Would you do it again.

  Bricksmith and Allen Smith
Posted by: Ben Supnik - 2018-03-17, 14:48 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (23)

Hi Y'all,

I've been in stealth mode for a while now, but I wanted to stick my head up to see if anyone knows how to contact Allen Smith.

I've been steadily maintaining Bricksmith for myself (e.g. fixing crash bugs) and was thinking a point release to update it for modern versions of Mac OS X would be a win. But I haven't heard from Allen in years -- I lost email contact with him around when he stopped posting on these forums.

If anyone who has been around LDraw for a while knows how to reach Allen directly, please contact me. I'd like to ping him before doing anything as drastic as a hard fork of Bricksmith.

Thanks
Ben
