Can someone create the parts?

3010pb008 (White Brick 1 x 4 with Cafe Pattern)
3068bpb0016 (White Tile 2 x 2 with Ice Cream Cone Pattern)
x66px9 (Trans-Clear Plastic Triangle 6 x 12 Sail with Palm Tree Pattern)

I was wondering in the 18-01 library there are some pneumatic parts which are actually subparts of things you shouldn't (can't) be taken apart in the real world.

These kinds of parts used to have the ~ prefix as far I understand.

Did this change?

I noticed this because now I have to filter out parts like 19466c01.dat and 19467c01.dat in my LDCad default pneumatics bin.

Creator Expert models

Howdy y'all. I've been using MLCAD forever but just started using Lpub3D a few months ago. I've overcome a lot of learning curve but now I've run into a problem. I created a neat little model that I'm giving away as a prize. Since there's some SNOT and inverted building involved, I decided to break the model into 14 submodels for clarity's sake.

Great, figured out the mpd function in MLCAD.

Then I bring it into Lpub3D. I don't necessarily want every submodel to look like a callout so I group steps together for each submodel and remove the callout formatting so it looks like you're building a bunch of table scraps.

Here's where my problem comes in.

I want to build submodel 1, 2, and 3 and then show how they go together. Then I want to build submodel 4 and attach it to the growing assembly, then submodel 5 and 6 and attach them to the main model. Build submodels 7-10 and show them being attached. Submodels 11 and 12 get built directly onto the main model. There are 4 copies of submodel 13, then attach them, finally submodel 14 goes in place and then gets rotated a bit.

I know there's a buffer exchange solution in here somewhere. I'm just not sure how to show a few submodels getting built, then show the main model with those submodels attached, then go to build a few more submodels, then attach them, etc.

One solution I thought of is to create a few ldr files that show the main build in progress and insert them into the main mpd. But then I'm not sure how to show those correctly throughout the instructions.

I could share my mpd file but I'm trying to keep it a highly guarded secret for now.

Thanks, Dag

Hey,

it took me a while to fix the !TEXMAP SPHERICAL rendering in LDPE... here it is


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

Changelog:
(3 new features and 4 bug fixes)

With this release you will be able to...

• ...check an option during setup which associates *.dat files to LDPartEditor.
  
• ...benefit from an enhanced surface creation by Lines2Pattern.
  
• ...see the poles correctly on !TEXMAP SPHERICAL.
  

1. Ytruder still generated triangles sometimes when it should generate quads.
   
2. Switching the manipulator via keyboard (translate, rotate, scale) "cleared" the current transformation.
   
3. Selecting a color for the font in Txt2dat did not work. Letters were always rendered in black.
   
4. Fixed a rare NullPointerException which occured while closing the application.
   

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".
