  Minifig Legs > Dual Injection
Posted by: Gerald Lasser - 2018-03-06, 8:03 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (3)

Do we have sub-parts of the relevant upper and lower legs? 

I have not seen a hip/legs combo inthe library so far. Am I right to say that those are not yet modeled?

Shall we model them or just realize those parts as "print" on the normal legs?

  LPub & ROTSTEP - skips rotation step
Posted by: tom alphin - 2018-03-05, 16:15 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (6)

Hello all,
I have what I hope to be a simple question... I'm using LPub to make instructions for a large 10k piece model.  I'm well aware of the ROTSTEP command, which was critical in ensuring the right perspective at all times.

The problem is that I would like to add a completely blank step showing just the rotation action, so the reader can see the new perspective *before* adding the parts for the next step.  I tried the following seemingly obvious schema, but the extra "step" is being discarded. - I can only assume that LPub has logic to ignore "Step" commands where no parts were added.

Code:
0 STEP
0 ROTSTEP 30 -60 0 ABS
0 !LPUB ASSEM MODEL_SCALE LOCAL  0.25000
0 !LPUB INSERT ROTATE_ICON OFFSET 0.5 0.5
0 STEP
0 !LPUB ASSEM MODEL_SCALE LOCAL  0.25000
1 0 -2540 -152 640 0 0 1 0 1 0 -1 0 0 snotpanel12.ldr
1 0 -2540 -152 -400 0 0 1 0 1 0 -1 0 0 snotpanel10.ldr
1 0 -2540 -152 -200 0 0 1 0 1 0 -1 0 0 snotpanel10.ldr
1 0 -2540 -152 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 -1 0 0 snotpanel10.ldr
1 0 -2540 -152 200 0 0 1 0 1 0 -1 0 0 snotpanel10.ldr
1 0 -2540 -152 400 0 0 1 0 1 0 -1 0 0 snotpanel10.ldr
0 STEP

Help appreciated!

Sincerely,

  Incorrect colour code connections
Posted by: Magnus Forsberg - 2018-03-04, 22:38 - Forum: General LDraw.org Discussion - Replies (3)

Hi,

I want to change/correct some of the connections between LDraw colour codes and Lego codes in ldconfig.ldr.

Based on these images:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/
https://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/

and this tabell:
http://www.ryanhowerter.net/colors.html

I want to correct the connections like this:
   

or to simplify it even further:

(and IMO, the connection between Ldraw 87 and LEGOID 316 in Ryan's tabell is not correct.)

  Buffer Exchange Fault
Posted by: Tom Moisey - 2018-03-04, 17:34 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (10)

Evening everyone, 

New member and first time poster here so apologies if this is in the wrong section.

Im currently building a producing instructions for a model and have use a buffer exchange command to show the placement of a tile in the main build. 

Now Ive followed the information from Holly-wood.it and the working with pub google site but I still have an issue.

The 'hovering' part appears with the arrow in the correct location but on the next step it recounts the piece in the PLI so you end up with a extra piece. Is it something simple that I've missed or arranged incorrectly ? The code looks correct but Im not sure.

Here is the code:

How I get the same result shown on video width *.ldr files ? Can LPub3D handle it ?
I know this is possible. Some thing similar can get with LDraw. I can get this result capture screen in real-time. But i can get or build tool which work will for me in batch processing mode.

There are some new features build in now and also (as always) bugfixes and changes.

1) The time you need for inlining is now much less than before.
2) Check for scaled flat files is now better build in.

You can download the tool as always from http://ldraw.heidemann.org/index.php?page=datheader

  lsynth and ldglite moved to github
Posted by: Don Heyse - 2018-03-03, 16:05 - Forum: LDraw File Processing and Conversion - Replies (2)

The sourceforge seems mostly dead these days so -- in an effort to make a small update to lsynth -- I've moved both lsynth and ldglite to github where I'm still somewhat active.  There are several links to both from pages here that probably ought to be changed, if anyone empowered to do so feels it's worth the effort.  It might also be a good idea to fork anything else hosted on sourceforge over to github before sourceforge disappears completely.  Is bricksmith still in use?

As for the update, I assembled a new 3.1.1 lsynth installer for Windows, but honestly I could very well have botched it since had to rescue a 10 year old windows netbook from the trash heap in order to make the attempt.

Does anyone have a working link to this tool?

http://www.ldraw.org/OLD/download/win/ldraw2lws.shtml

Thanks.

[edit]

Never mind. I think Wings3D supports 3DS as well, which should be sufficient after exporting from LDView.

Wings3D website is dead at the moment, however. Are they hosted on SourceForge? I can't commit to my SF.net repo right now either.
