  LDD can't convert .lxf to .ldr
Posted by: Luis - 2017-03-28, 4:44 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (11)

Hello,

I made a post about this a day or two ago and the replies were very helpful. However, I tried posting again after I thought the problem was resolved, but no reply. So, I thought I'd make this post to help settle the issue.

For some reason (as previously stated), LDD on my PC can't convert .lxf to .ldr, which is very frustrating, since I can't find anyone online with a similar problem  Undecided

I contacted LDD customer support, but they couldn't solve the problem. I also downloaded the Digital-Bricks LDD to LDraw file converter, but that didn't work. (I think it might be outdated). 

Is there any way to troubleshoot this? Are there any sites or programs that can convert .lxf to .ldr?

I don't think posting zip files will be useful since I have about seven LDD project files to export. 

Anyway, thanks in advance for the help   Shy

I know this is not a LDD forum, but could prove useful nonetheless... (https://forums.ldraw.org/thread-22124-po...l#pid24950)

  LDD to MLCAD file conversion help
Posted by: Luis - 2017-03-25, 16:29 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (15)

Hello,

I am new to this community and to LDraw, MLCAD, etc.

I downloaded both the LDraw complete installer and LDD. I am trying to convert my design on LDD (.lxf) to MLCAD (.ldr), I think. However, when I do this, LDD gives me an error message: "Warning: Unable to export model" 

I am confused as to why I can't export the LDD model to MLCAD. Any help is greatly appreciated. 

LDD file attached. (Hopefully I did it right and it works).

Thanks!

  Invisible texmap pattern
Posted by: Magnus Forsberg - 2017-03-24, 16:25 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (13)

This part
[Image: 6110077.jpg]
is now present at the Part Tracker, but the TEXMAP pattern is not visible from behind, when I use it in LDCad, on a transparent part.


Is it possible to combine a TEXMAP pattern with a BFC NOCLIP ?
If so, how should a correct file syntax look like?

  Modelled stickers
Posted by: Evert-Jan Boer - 2017-03-23, 20:36 - Forum: Parts Authoring - No Replies

   
I have build the Bucket Wheel Excavator some days ago and found the stickers not very difficult to model. Need to create one more to complete the set, once completed and checked I will upload these, but for now a screenshot of the work done so far to let you know these are nearly completed.

All models are OMR compliant (I hope it's true ... and MPDCenter says that).

Models are posted on eurobricks.com forum too (in "official lego sets made in ldraw" thread).

Question LDCad Scripting: cannot get group position/orientation
Posted by: Greg Montgomery - 2017-03-20, 3:10 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (4)

Hello everybody,

I have built a LEGO model comprising of submodels, groups and some scripting functions.
The problem is my local script in LDCad cannot determine the position or orientation of a (toplevel) group.
Calling group:getPosOri() always returns the identity matrix (0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1).

these are the relevant lines:

Code:
local mainsf = ldc.subfile()
local mygroup = mainsf:getGroup('MyGroup')
local posori = mygroup:getPosOri()  --> identity matrix, whereas the editor window in LDCad shows clearly different values

If required I can also provide a small working example.

Can someone please explain what is going wrong here...  Huh

using LDCad 1.6 Beta 2a

Edit: model and script added
