  Wiki missing features
Posted by: Michael Horvath - 2016-09-17, 21:05 - Forum: General LDraw.org Discussion - Replies (2)

I'm trying to create a table with footnotes.

The footnotes don't work at all!

Can someone fix this?

  Search Delay
Posted by: Travis Cobbs - 2016-09-17, 4:11 - Forum: Website Suggestions/Requests/Discussion - Replies (5)

Does the forum need the 30-second delay between successive searches for registered users? Sometimes I'll search for something, and after getting too many results, I'll immediately try to be more specific in my search, but it forces me to wait 30 seconds in that case. It's not the end of the world, but it's inconvenient.

  Latest version of L3P.exe?
Posted by: Michael Horvath - 2016-09-17, 1:13 - Forum: LDraw File Processing and Conversion - Replies (3)

I noticed some of my POV files were generated by a newer version of L3P.exe than the one available on Lars Hassing's website.

http://www.hassings.dk/l3/l3p.html

The one you can download from that webpage is this one:
// Generated by L3P v1.4 BETA 20080930 (Win32)  © 1998-2008 Lars C. Hassing [email protected]

The one I somehow got a hold of in the past is this one:
// Generated by L3P v1.4 BETA 20131202 (Win32)  © 1998-2013 Lars C. Hassing [email protected]

Does anyone happen to have a copy of the newer version? Some of my helper scripts were designed with that version in mind, and they no longer work. Thanks.

  LDCad under wine (on mac)
Posted by: Roland Melkert - 2016-09-14, 18:18 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (10)

Hi all today someone asked (again) if there is a mac version of LDCad.

I advised the usual try a virtual machine, but this time I also thought about WINE as there is a mac version of that.

This made me wanne try running LDCad under wine in Linux as it should be the same I think.

So with some tweaks I did manage to get LDCad 1.5 running under wine on Mint 8,

It acts a bit weird the first start though but the second seems ok, only problem is no text rendering (so all crosses in the menus etc).

This was fixed by coping the FreeSans.ttf and FreeMone.ttf font files into the default/gui folder though.

The fun was then spoiled by it crashing assoon you start a new model, but this might be the result of me running mint in a virtual machine using software rendering.

Has anyone else tried running LDCad under WINE on Linux or a mac ?

update:
The crash was caused by using  std::locale envDef("")  for some reason, I managed to fix that by using std::locale envDef("C") this combined with the option to disable file monitoring seems to make WINE usable combined with LDCad 1.6.  I will need to do some more test though, any additional findings from experienced Wine users will be appreciated.

update2:
found a better way to fix the fonts issue, just symlink the systems font root dir into the wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts folder, like shown on the below picture.

LDCad 1.6 beta 1 running under wine on mint 18 which itself is running under vmplayer on Windows 7 Pro 64 Smile

  Some more findings in LPub3D
Posted by: Jaco van der Molen - 2016-09-13, 12:57 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (6)

Hi Trevor,

Making instructions I have found some "bugs" in LPub3D.

Model Description does not respond to placing it somewhere relative to the page
For example:
0 !LPUB PAGE MODEL_DESCRIPTION PLACEMENT LOCAL TOP PAGE INSIDE
0 !LPUB PAGE MODEL_DESCRIPTION PLACEMENT LOCAL TOP_RIGHT PAGE INSIDE
do not work and keeps placing the description top left

Setting an automatic piece count gives wrong count
Most of the time in an MPD with multiple submodels and multiple usages of certain same submodels.
For example the model I am working on now has 768 parts and LPub3D gives 753.

Assembly margins in a callout only seem to affect the top (or bottom) margin
Horizontal margins have no effect. Setting a margin in a call out separator gives odd results too.

If I find more I'll let you know.

  Sticker with LEGO logo
Posted by: Jaco van der Molen - 2016-09-13, 8:49 - Forum: Part Requests - No Replies

Hi all,

Is there a sticker with the LEGO logo? Like this:

[Image: 185?cb=20130601154044]

I know it is hardcoded in some parts. I did one myself: 3004pt6.dat :-)
I could extract it from there and it would be scaleable.

  Need help with custom rotation of hinges
Posted by: Nite - 2016-09-10, 12:45 - Forum: Help - Replies (4)

Hi,

I'm trying to reproduce the following assembly with LDCad : http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7024/68033...6f6a2c.jpg (part of this tutorial http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.ph...opic=60907)
This would require to rotate each half of the hinges by exactly 16.363 degrees (using 11 hinges, it's (360 \ 11)\2).
Unfortunately so far I've only been able to rotate by steps of a minimum of 1 degree, is there a way to rotate by an arbitrary angle ?

The closer I've come to reproduce the model is by using 12 hinges (that comes down to  a 15 degree rotation), but I'd really like to make an 11 hinges one Smile
This is my 12 hinges attempt : http://tinypic.com/3ia4it61

Thanks
