Hi,

This is my first time here. I am looking for a way to add additional option for LSynth in MLCad. Iam trying to add WeDo2.0 Power Functions Cable into the current configuration. I managed to design the .dat file by modify LS70.dat and save it as LS72.dat. Now, i would like to add the new option whenever i am using the MLCad.

Here is the thing i have tried:

1. I add some additional code for Lsynth.mpd from “C:\Program Files (x86)\LDraw\LSynth\bin”. For the record, I did not know where to place the “ldr” file which written there. I search my whole computer for similar file, I did not find it.

2. I tried to modify MLCad.ini from "C:\Users\Public\Documents\Ldraw"

So, I have a question regarding LPub3D, or rather using the available meta commands in a specific way.
I have a submodel that is 'formed'; all hinges are rotated. Then I have a copy of that submodel which is non-formed; completely straight. I want LPub to generate instructions for the non-formed version, but then showing the formed version in the assembly. I hope that makes sense to anyone.

Is there a way to do this? I can vaguely remember I did something like this in the past, but I wasn't able to find my implementation so I'm not sure it's even possible. Any ideas?

Is anyone working on this one? The new 2017 mudguard from City

Vehicle, Mudguard 4 x 3 x 1 with Arch Curved

Work in progress....  Completed!

Completed the build, attached the mpd file. Not OMR conform, and not including all unofficial parts yet. Need to upload these and stickers to the tracker.

Hi all,

I've been very busy with texture mapping in the past days and did some bricks and tiles with nice "prints" for some projects I've been working on.

Now, I have need for a round 1x1 tile with a pattern.
So I made a square PNG image with transparent background (which works perfectly with the bricks and tiles) and mapped that on the surface.
Alas, this texture mapped surface remained planar and square so no such luck there.
Then I thought I'd made the plane on which is mapped transparent, but that had a bad result.

Would it be possible either way to apply texture mapping on other surfaces than rectangular, like for example the 4-4disc primitive?

Was looking at doing the 2654pb010 pattern but I am having issues with the low resolution of this part. Perhaps that is why there are no patterns for 2654 yet?

Currently the dish is using 4-8sphe.dat, replacing it with the highres variant seems overkill. I have taken the conical primitives from rounded shield 75902 and modified them a bit to match the bottom, please see picture attached. (Left the original, right my variant which needs some extra condlines)


In my opinion this looks much better and it will be easier to create patterns for this part, please let me know what you think about it.

Hi,

after a few sleepless nights I was finally able to reproduce and fix some troublemakers.

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

Change log:

Fixed bugs:

• Fixed a rare crash (Rectifier/SlicerPro/Unificator tool chain)
  
• A wrong winding was exported when "Include Metadata" was disabled, but a winding was chosen in the metadata dialog.
  

Has/could someone please work on this torso?

Thanks!

Hi,

here are seven new features and the first official LDPE release on Mac OS X :)


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

Changelog:
(7 new features and 4 bug fixes)

With this release you will be able to...

• ...use LDPartEditor under Mac OS X.
  
• ...move the 3D view with Alt+Cursor Keys
  
• ...enable a verbose mode for Rectifier
  
• ...enable a verbose mode for Edger2
  
• ...specify the number of iterations for the "Rotate Dialog"
  
• ...specify the number of iterations for the "Translate Dialog"
  
• ...copy and transform a selection if you hold Ctrl and modify the manipulator with the cursor keys
  
• ...benefit from an absolute scaling mode which uses a length in LDU as an initial scale.
  

1. Ctrl+Z with focus on 3D window shifted the focus to the text window.
   
2. A mouse click was sometimes ignored (while adding something in the 3D view)
   
3. Unificator: A vertex already snapped on a primitive vertex was able to move to another primitive.
   
4. Minor bug: The primitive area renderer tried to render after the 3D window was closed.
   

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.
   
2. On linux, you have to excecute the shell script "update.sh".

I noticed these minor formatting issues a while back.

   

Nothing big I think, but thought to report it anyway.
