I've been experimenting with options for converting native POV-Ray CSG objects to OBJ format, and now have a potential workflow to achieve this as detailed below:

Convert CSG to an Isosurface using William Pokorny's ObjectAsIso macro
Convert Isosurface to mesh using Jaap Franks macro
Convert mesh file to mesh2 format using meshcomp v3.0 (WinMeshcomp30_beta3.zip)
Convert mesh2 to OBJ using mesh22obj.py (a Python script written by ingo)

For more details on this approach see this post:

I'm wondering if this approach would be useful for converting LGEO based parts to other 3D formats (or even reverse engineer parts that don't exist in LDraw). Are there any parts that only exist in LGEO?

Hi,

For some time i've tried to work out why in LPub, I cannot use the option under: Configuration - Page Setup - Background - Picture. I select an image from my pictures folder but it either hangs the system or greys out the page entirely. Is there a format / size that the picture needs to comply with? I am using Windows 7 Home. Everything else works well, I can add borders etc, I am using LPub 4.0.0.11.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Kindest regards
Steve

Hi all,

I am looking for this part called "Six Shooter Trigger"

http://brickset.com/parts/design-18587

And the Minifig, Weapon Rapid Shooter Six Barrel too


http://brickset.com/parts/design-18588

Anyone has those?

Is there a tool I can use to mirror a model across an axis? I couldn't find such a command in MLCad.

Thanks.

Is there a tool available that can draw a curve or circle with a given radius, and then approximate that curve with bricks? Thanks.

[edit]

I recalled that MLCad has a mosaic generator that can take a bitmap image as input. But I haven't found a good tool to draw the circles.

1. Paint.NET output isn't symmetrical in my tests.
2. GIMP draws the circles too thick. I want them only 1px thick.
3. This tool is pretty good, but I don't know how to get rid of the gray lines. https://donatstudios.com/PixelCircleGenerator
4. Ditto. http://www.mineconics.net/

I have a copy of Paint Shop Pro somewhere. I will need to dig it out of storage.

Hi all,

I am looking for some specific minifig torso's and heads.
I was wondering if someone knows if these are made?
Else, I need something closest to them.

Thanks.

I am having problems where the colors of underlying objects are bleeding through the overlying objects, even though the objects are not coincident. See attachment.

Have you come along this page on BL:

Do you know on what library it is based on?

Hey there!

First and foremost, I find this tool is great!

However, I have some troubles with it.

I have LIC_0.6.0 and LIC 0.9 - only these two I was able to find.

0.9 made my instruction in great 2400x1800 px, which I find great quality.

However, it looses step separators, plus makes trouble in PDF generation. Actually, yesterday I was able to produce PDFs, but today my computer hangs once I start doing that - Windows 10 on Phenom 955 BE with no external graphic card. So I tested it on my second computer, i5 Dell E6410 also with Win10. Same problems - but yesterday it was OK!

So I made whole instruction back again, from ldr file in LIC 0.6.0, but forgot to increase resolution, and default 800x600 produces bad quality.

I though, I will just set FullHD or even these 2400x1800 but then all parts are so small. Worse, PLI are small and when I edit template, it affects part but not frame, which stays small and needs to be clicked and just confirm to 100% scale but on each slide!

LIC 0.9 have troubles with submodels - once I start submodel, saved file cannot be opened again ;(

Either I make something wrong or LiC needs many improvments stll ;(

ps. LiC 0.6.0 works OK for me, but I just would like to import ldr model right into higher resolution...
