  LPub3D not saving rendering preferences
Posted by: Warren Elsmore - 2018-01-18, 21:49 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (5)

Hi,

First up - a big thankyou for the continued development of LPub3D. It's a big step up from LPub. However, I've two problems which I think is related and wondered if anyone could help?

Problem 2 - custom parts don't render properly or appear in the BOM. I've seen the threads about this, and I think it might be related to...

Problem 1 - I'm asked to give the paths to the renderers every time I open LPub3D (and, co-incidentally this dialog pops up behind the splash screen!) So, I'm not sure if the preferences are properly saving. Logo path, Trademark etc etc - all do save, but the renderers don't

So, I'm wondering if the preferences not saving are also affecting the path to the unofficial parts too? This is on High Sierra on a current Macbook Pro, but I've just upgraded and it was the same on Sierra on my previous Macbook air too. So I don't think it's install related. Looking in the 'Application Support' directory, I can't see a plist - so does anyone know where the preferences should be saved?

Thanks!

  Fake LEGO: Red Slope, Curved
Posted by: Jaco van der Molen - 2018-01-18, 20:22 - Forum: Off-Topic - Replies (4)

Hi all,

Northing to do with LDraw, but wanted to ask here.
I ordered some bricks on Bricklink. Ten of these to be exact (among other parts)
[Image: 85970.jpg] Red Slope, Curved

I think that one of 10 of these parts is fake LEGO.
It has no LEGO logo on the studs and no partnumber, copyright note and stuff in tiny letters on the inside. The inner detail is different too.
The material feels like cheap hard plastic, not like LEGO at all.
Dropping it on a smooth table even sounds different too.
Could this be a non LEGO part? It does fit though and clutch power is good, so no problem there. Color is good too.



See these photo's.
https://photos.app.goo.gl/RpE2vFqxWvZjqC1E2
What do you think?

Photo 1: studs with LEGO logo and studs without LOGO
Photo 2: zoom in to see left part no copyright LEGO and speckled surface (looks a bit like roofbricks), right part has little text and smooth surface
Photo 3: inner details thinner

  Small bug in LPub3D

Small bug in LPub3D: 
If I choose 'Don't show this page' on the last step of a submodel and I add a callout of the assembled model to the parent page, the callout is empty (an empty box with an arrow).

Hi to readers,

I want make some motorcycle models (and instructions) with this part/parts but they are not in library. I know they are fairly old parts but larger version of this part is available so it may be relatively easy to make CAD design. 

Thanks

Edit: Part 32079 added.

  24505 GEAR WHEEL Z24
Posted by: Matthew Norrie - 2018-01-12, 11:01 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (4)

Hi there

First post, so sorry if this isn't in the right place.  This part puzzles me - is it a genuine new part or a renumbering of 3648b Technic Gear 24 Tooth [New Style with Single Axle Hole]?

Opinion seems divided on the subject - it's a whole new (superseding) part on Rebrickable and a separate entity on BrickSet but BrickLink and BrickOwl have rolled the new one into the old one as an alternate part number.

However, looking at the official word from Lego, they do have different Lego part numbers - a 3648b in DBG from 2008 is 4514558 and a 24505 in DBG from 2015 is 6133119 so I guess it counts as a separate part.

All in all, a rather convoluted way of saying, can we get 24505 created please?

  [LDPartEditor] 0.8.41 Beta Released (LDPartEditor.exe / Setup.exe)
Posted by: Nils Schmidt - 2018-01-11, 22:16 - Forum: Parts Author Tools - Replies (7)

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 Smile

[Image: imgDuke2.png]
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).

The following critical issues were fixed:
  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.

What will the next release 0.8.42 deliver? Bug fixes, new features (e.g. open *.dat files from the Windows Explorer in LDPE with "Open with...").



The program was tested intensively with "real world" files.
However, it is still a beta version and something can go wrong in about 140.000 lines of code.

Make sure that you choose the right architecture for your OS and Java Virtual Machine (JVM) (64bit or 32bit).
A short guide how to check if a 64bit JVM is installed on your system is located at the bottom of this message.

  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.
Alternatively, you can download a setup file to install LDPE on Windows.
When you install/extract LDPE on Windows you will find your LDPE configuration files under
{drive}\Users\{user}\AppData\Roaming\LDPartEditor

Please note that this software is in the beta stage. Although, this version was tested, there are already known issues  for this release. There is a potential risk of data loss.

You can search for updates if you do the following steps:

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

It is not recommended to use the "update.bat" script when you installed LDPE via the setup file.
Manually install the new version instead.

I listen carefully to your requests and possible complaints. Please leave me a message, with your thoughts and wishes to further improve the software.

LDPE is a 3D CAD application: The overall system requirements are higher. While I recommend to use a powerful 64-bit multicore system, it could be possible, to run LDPE on older machines as well.

System Requirements:


Minimum System Requirements:
  • 64-bit Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.8
  • OpenGL 2.1 compatible Graphics Card
  • Operating System (64-bit): Windows [7 or newer], Linux [e.g. Ubuntu Linux >=14.4], Mac OS X [>=10.6]
  • CPU: Multicore-Processor e.g. Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Athlon II (>2.0Ghz)
  • RAM: 4GB
  • Video-Memory: 1 GB
  • Free Disk Space: 100 MB
Recommended Requirements:
  • Operating System (64bit): Windows 7,8,10, Linux [e.g. Ubuntu Linux >=14.4], Mac OS X [>=10.6]
  • OpenGL 3.3 compatible Graphics Card
  • CPU: Multicore-Processor with 4 cores (or more)
  • RAM: >4 GB
  • Video-Memory: >1 GB
  • Free Disk Space: 512 MB
  • For a faster start, LDPartEditor and the LDraw™ library should be installed on an SSD.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to check your JVM version (32- or 64-bit):
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can try on the command line:

Code:
java -d64 version

If it's not a 64-bit version, you'll get a message that looks like:
This Java instance does not support a 64-bit JVM. Please install the desired version.
