Hey,

this took me so long to fulfil this whishlist...
But now there is a breaking change: You can launch / install LDPE under Windows like any other application


As always, you can download LDPE from this page:
http://nilsschmidt1337.github.io/ldparteditor/

Changelog:
(1 new feature and 2 bug fixes)

With this release you will be able to...

• ...launch an LDPartEditor executable under Windows / install it with a setup file (breaking change).
  

1. Colour table (OS: Windows) - The scroll on mouse over, in the list view, only worked when the pointer was over the slider. Not when it was over the list.
   
2. The primitive area disappeared sometimes, because a paint event cleared the canvas.
   

1. Download the zip-Archive
   
2. Extract the archive content to the location of your choice
   
3. On windows, double-click "LDPartEditor.exe" to start LDPE.
   
4. On linux/mac, you have to excecute the shell script "run.sh" to start LDPE.
   

1. On windows, double-click "update.bat" to search for updates.
   
2. On linux/mac, you have to excecute the shell script "update.sh".

Hello all,

I've been working on the LDCad snapinfo for the 1701 library and one thing lead to another so I also ended up tweaking the part bin a bit.

I would appreciate some additional eyes on these tweaks in means of some QA

I've added snapping info for all the 1701 stuff that is visible in the sorted branch (except for things in the 'by category' subbrances)

I also added a duplo and electric section to the sorted branch and gave everything in there snapping info too.

I'm wondering about the electric parts group though, should I extend it more and maybe subdivide or keep it restricted to the non technic stuff like it is now?

And I also added templates for the new 9L/11L shocks.

any additional ideas/snapping/template requests etc are welcome.

You can use these files with 1.6a by replacing the seed (*.sf) files you'll find in the below zip. These files are usually in "program files/LDCad/seeds"
http://www.melkert.net/action/download/1...dsTest.zip

Just be sure to use it with the 1701 library as it includes corrections resulting from "~moved" stuff etc.

While working on snapping information for LDCad I noticed the small holes on

30167 Minifig Hat Wide Brim Flat
40235 Minifig Headdress Turban

are ~1.75 ldu, but there seem to be nothing to fit that, all similar hat stuff uses 2ldu

Not knowing the real-life parts, is this supposed to be a different 'class' of connection or should it just fit the 2ldu stuff?

Hi all,

I have made a custom textured part for a model.

  93606p12_25_1240_150_DPCM_1_23_-45.png (Size: 10.98 KB / Downloads: 137)
However it does not render correct in certain steps and orientation.
See attached PDF.

Does anyone have an idea why it does not render in step 2 and does in step 3 and 4?

Thanks.

Per the LDraw.org Bylaws at [color=black]http://www.ldraw.org/article/268.html[/color], Subsection
6.03(a), the 2017/2018 Steering Committee hereby calls for the community to
nominate individuals as candidates for the 2018/2019 Steering Committee[1].

Please post nominations in response to this message. Nominations will only be
recognized if they are in response to this message.

Per ss.6.03(a), you must specify the name of the person you are nominating,
along with your name. Another member of the community must second the nomination
in a reply, and the nominee must publicly accept the nomination in the same
channel (direct reply to the nomination or second) in order to be valid. If the
nominee does not accept, it will be assumed that he or she has declined, and
they will not be placed on the ballot.

Nominations will close at 11:59 PM GMT on 28 February 2018. This means that to
be listed on the ballot, a candidate must have been nominated, seconded and must
have formally stated acceptance by that time.

The Steering Committee will give sufficient notice of the election and election
procedures per ss.6.03(b).

NOTE: subsection 6.03(b) states that elections should take place before March 1.
We interpret this to mean that we will commence the election on March 1, but
since it is electronic, it will run for 2 weeks, just as last time. The exact
time and date of start and end will be announced sometime very close to (but
after) 0000 GMT March 1.

Again, thanks to all of you for your commitment to the goals of the
organization, and in working with us this year. Please, stay involved with
LDraw.org and keep it moving forward!

Hi everybody !

I need help plz,

I exported animation from Ldcad to povray(simple camera rotation).

I cant launch my render because i have a parse error in povray. The error is highlited in yellow :
"ldrawBuildTex(ldrawPigment(getColorIndex(ldCode), -1, -1), ldrawPearlNor, ldraPearlFin, pngIdx)"
At the bottom of the povray window:
Parse error: Cannot pass ininntialized identifier as macro parameter. Initialize identifier first.

Some file exported in the same way work without this error other not, i do not see how to solve this problem.

your help would be greatly appreciated.
