I have been happily converting small and medium-sized models to 3DS using LeoCAD, and then viewing them in MeshLab. However, the large models I have tried to load have caused MeshLab to spawn an "Opening Failure" error and not load the models. Here is a model:

I don't know if it's a problem with LeoCAD or MeshLab, but assume it's the latter. Here is the mailing list thread I created on this topic:

https://sourceforge.net/p/meshlab/discus.../9d7dbc6e/

Hopefully I get a response. Do any of you know of other free programs beside MeshLab I can use to verify the model is not broken somehow? Thanks.

Guys,

back in January we applied to become a RLOC - Recognized LEGO Online Community and approval has been granted. The SteerCo has since appointed Max Martin Richter as LDraw's Ambassador at the LAN - LEGO Ambassador Network.

As you know independence is key to us and we will carefully observe if and how this very small but fine community is affected by :-) Most benefit can be drawn from the direct link when it comes down to part numbers and colors.

Furthermore there are plans for a IRL-meeting where being a recognized community is a must. Stay tuned.

I am trying to export a model in 3DS format using LDView. However, when I view the model in Meshlab, it looks very messed up with missing faces and holes and so forth. Is this an issue with LDView or Meshlab do you think? Thanks.

Hi

Is there any overview on the mathematical functions included in the scripting language of LDCad? Does it include algebraic operations (Matrices)? Is it possible to add such libraries?

Testing emoji capability:

, I used normal UTF8 emojis, i.e., the heart-eyes one:
https://emojipedia.org/smiling-face-with...aped-eyes/

The forum SW seemingly converted those to "?" characters.
Is there a chance to fix that?
I think a simple switch to a different forum font for posts rendering which has emojis should cure the problem.
(I know that this forum additionally features its own emoji syntax, but that always should be just additional to UTF8 IMHO.)

(This of course has low prio.)

I discover, that I can use:

• ldc.dialog.runMessage
  
• ldc.dialog.runChoice
  
• ldc.dialog.runInput
  

1. How create multiple-choice dialog box ?
   
2. Did LCad have included IupLua or other support for build interface inside LUA script ?
   
3. Can I build dialog window, as show on the picture:
   

When I use Explode or Magnet Build script on attachment file, then i get a message:
Playback is too slow for 25 fps at an avg frame time of 222.56ms.

The question is how change FPS from LUA script ?!

I, finally, released 1.6b

It contains mostly bugfixes and tweaks and some minor changes/additions, including:

- Fixed numerous scripting issues.
- Fixed some (mostly minor) editing issues.
- Improved part bin search.
- Extensive POV-Ray export tweaking, I mostly tried to improve transparency in mixed color parts and the handling of textured parts.
- Duplo and electrical part bin sections.
- Snapping/mirroring info for commonly used parts in the 1701 and 1801 libraries.
- Some new/tweaked templates based upon 1701/1801 parts.


Hopefully this will be the last 1.x version as I want to concentrate on 2.0 exclusively from now on, unless a very severe bug/problem is uncovered.


The Linux version is still compiled on Debian 7.5 as I didn't think it would be very useful to setup 32 and 64 bit 8.1 environments. This is very time consuming, so I prefer to do that only if people having problems with these versions on more recent distro's. Please Let me know if so. I did however fully updated the 7.5 environments.

Enjoy:
