Hello,

I fixed just one critical bug in my pattern creator program (took half an hour).

Download and install the latest LDPatternCreator release directly from sourceforge.net.

Change log:

Fixed bug:

• Fixed that you were not able to add primitives with a different colour than colour 16 (noticed on Win10)!
  

So I've spent a couple weeks modifying a MOC from someone to get the truck that I want. There are still likely some changes I'll want to make but they're going to be relatively small.

Now that I have the model completed? How can I generate a BOM to upload to BrinkLink?
If I try and import the ldr directly, bricklink flashes Null in Red at the top of the page and nothing verifies. I can upload it successfully.

I've attached the ldr file so that someone that is willing to help can test it.

My suspicion is that it might be unofficial parts in the model so I'm going to try and take out what I think might be causing the problem and retry.

Thanks,
Darren

Hi :)

next small increase to version 0.8.18... well, this time its clear what 0.8.19 will bring ;)


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

Changelog:
(4 new features and 3 bug fixes)

With this release you will be able to...

• ...trigger "Show selection in Text Editor" from a button on the GUI of the 3D editor.
  
• ...benefit from the fact that selecting "Show Selection In Text Editor" jumps to the next selected line.
  
• ...benefit from the fact that a change to the colour palette is updated instantly on all editor windows.
  
• ...customize the colours of the selection cross (3D editor)
  

1. Wrong BFC rendering for primitives (in the primitve area)
   
2. TJunctionFinder eliminates lines at random (normal mode)
   
3. The "(!)" sign is set for (part) files which are created by the PartReview tool. This is not desired. (the "(!)" sign indicates that the file is located outside the project or the library structure of the project)
   

1. Download the zip-Archive
   
2. Extract the archive content to the location of your choice
   
3. On windows, double-click "run.bat" 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.

So firstly, let me thank you Roland for a terrific tool. I've tried a couple of LDraw editors as well as LDD itself and I find your tool by far the easiest to use.

Now, let's see if you can help me with a problem I'm having.


I have an ldr file from another builder that posted his MOC at rebrickable.
When I open that ldr in LDCad, the main model isn't built and complete. But when I open that ldr in MLCad, it's complete. I've also opened other ldr files from this builder in LDCad and they work.
I've included two as examples for you to troubleshoot with.
peterbilt389 works.
peterbilt379 doesn't.

At long last, LDView 4.2 is available. I'm going to be honest here, and warn that I gave up on getting it out the door with all the bugs fixed that I could fix. I decided that having it released was more important than fixing all the known problems. I believe that it is better than either 4.1 or 4.2 Beta 1. Having said that, if you have problems with this release, you'll probably have to go back to one of the earlier releases, because this is likely to be the last release I make. (Anyone who wants to take over is welcome to contact me.)

You can download this release from the LDView Downloads page.

Hi,

a few days ago I utilised my CAD program for a very different job :)
It is still WIP... Unfortunately, my time is limited for this kind of 3D modelling...
I will use LDView to convert the *.dat file to *.3ds and then blender for smoothing, UV mapping and animation.


   

Hi Trevor,

I'm selecting the menu option "Configuration/Generage Fade Colour Parts List" (yes "Generage" - a typo I suspect). After a long time, just aster displaying the message "Writing Colour Part List" in the LPub3D window status line, I am seeing LPub3D crashing. Refer to the attached screenshot.

Any suggestions as to what might be causing the problem?

Regards,

David

You'll find the latest release discussion in this forum thread.

Hi all,

I've released LDCad 1.6 Alpha 3.

Quite a few bugfixes and general tweak/changes in this one.

But it also introduces some (hopefully handy) new features, like:

- Selection MPD embedding.
- Selection MPD detachment.
- Full LDraw org header editing (Including full history and help).
- LPub, LSynth, MLCad meta are recognized and highlighted / editable in the source window.

It also vastly improves the new region selection feature, it is actually usable now

And I finally got to include a 64 bit Windows version as the mingw-64 now includes a suitable threading model for use with my static linkage setup.

I'm not sure if and how I will include the 64 bit version in the installer though, any thoughts on that are welcome.

This is still an Alpha version so it might be (very) unstable use it separate from your normal LDCad installation and make backups of the files you want to edit.

Download it here:

I again only made the 64 bit Linux version as the 32 bit VM is currently (way) out of date. Nobody seems to need the 32 bit version anyway but if you really do need it please let me know.

Any feedback / thoughts / suggestions are welcome.

ps: Fun fact I've passed the 1000 commits mark in svn

Hi all.

Following the changes in the Sticker Specs discussed in this thread we now need to deside how to change the round 3D primitives without conditional lines. Most of them are now obsolete.

Currently available primitives - without conditional lines :
Regular resolution (n-fcyli2) : 3-16, 1-4, 5-16, 2-4, 3-8, 4-4
High resolution (n-fcyli2) : 1-4, 2-4, 5-8, 4-4

Currently available primitives - without conditional lines:
Regular resolution (n-fcylc2) : 1-4, 4-4
High resolution (n-fcylc2) : 4-4

Should all of these simply become Move to-files?
Or should we add condlines to all of them?

nb.
The info on the prim ref page is not correct. There is no 48\5-8cyli2.dat
