  Incorrect part length
Posted by: Yitzy Kasowitz - 2016-01-07, 21:02 - Forum: General LDraw.org Discussion - Replies (2)

Hi,

Part 30292 appears to be half a stud short.

It's listed as 'Flag 7x3 with rod' which already is one stud length less then what Lego considers it (8x3).

If this is already known or if there's another place to post this please let me know as I'm new here.

Thanks!

  [LDPatternCreator] Release 1.6.0 (Undo/Redo Fix)
Posted by: Nils Schmidt - 2016-01-05, 20:23 - Forum: Parts Author Tools - Replies (2)

Hello,

I wish you all a happy new year 2016!
Here is a little new years gift to start with great energy into the creation of new patterned parts for 2016... Wink

Download and install the latest LD Pattern Creator release directly from sourceforge.net.

Change log:

Fixed bug (fatal):

  • Undo/redo on files with groups/primitives leads to a corrupt data state which causes LPC to freeze or crash. The fatal root cause was hidden in the redo function. The bug exists since version 1.2.0 which was released five years ago... d'oh.

As always, I included a short readme.htm in the installation directory.


Cheers & Leg Godt


Nils

  Error in part 72504 ?
Posted by: Roland Dahl - 2016-01-05, 16:33 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (3)

Part 72504 Technic Ribbed Hose 2L seems not to be exactly 16mm long. The length is around 15mm:

[Image: 72504_Ribbed_Hose_16mm.jpg]

Actually I'm building set 10134 by using LDcad. There are 5 pieces #72504 positioned inline on an axle:

[Image: 72504_Ribbed_Hose_16mm_2.jpg]

Images at the web show no gap between these pieces, so I expect that the IRL length is 16mm. As I do not own this set or piece, I am not 100% sure it's an error.

May anybody let me know what the real length is?

thanks and kind regards

  Set the LDView camera position with POV values?
Posted by: Brian - 2016-01-04, 6:33 - Forum: General LDraw.org Discussion - Replies (1)

Hi, is it possible to set the LDView camera position using the location and look values from a previously exported POV?

Code:
// .LXF > .LDR > .POV
// .LDR generated by LEGO Digital Designer 4.3
// .POV generated by LDView 4.1
//  POV-Ray version 3.7.0.msvc10.win64

// POV Camera location vector
#declare LDXCameraLoc = < -321.407227,-293.625153,-993.385681 >;

// POV Camera look-at point vector
#declare LDXCameraLookAt = < 29.499531794876987,-257.1845097763055,32.221443202768342 >;

// POV Camera sky vector (<0,-1,0> will usually work for standard "up")
#declare LDXCameraSky = < -0.054637141728353447,-0.99703780595713842,0.054133134362709626 >;

  2016/2017 LDraw.org Steering Committee: Call for Nominations
Posted by: Willy Tschager - 2016-01-03, 19:07 - Forum: LDraw.org Announcements - Replies (39)

Per the LDraw.org Bylaws at http://www.ldraw.org/article/268.html, Subsection
6.03(a), the 2015/2016 Steering Committee hereby calls for the community to
nominate individuals as candidates for the 2016/2017 Steering Committee[1].

Please post nominations in response to this message. Nominations will only be
recognized if they are in response to this message.

Per ss.6.03(a), you must specify the name of the person you are nominating,
along with your name. Another member of the community must second the nomination
in a reply, and the nominee must publicly accept the nomination in the same
channel (direct reply to the nomination or second) in order to be valid. If the
nominee does not accept, it will be assumed that he or she has declined, and
they will not be placed on the ballot.

Nominations will close at 11:59 PM GMT on 29 February 2016. This means that to
be listed on the ballot, a candidate must have been nominated, seconded and must
have formally stated acceptance by that time.

The Steering Committee will give sufficient notice of the election and election
procedures per ss.6.03(b).

NOTE: subsection 6.03(b) states that elections should take place before March 1.
We interpret this to mean that we will commence the election on March 1, but
since it is electronic, it will run for 2 weeks, just as last time. The exact
time and date of start and end will be announced sometime very close to (but
after) 0000 GMT March 1.

Again, thanks to all of you for your commitment to the goals of the
organization, and in working with us this year. Please, stay involved with
LDraw.org and keep it moving forward!

Willy Tschager
On behalf of the LDraw.org Steering Committee

Standards Committee (LSC). The Steering Committee sets the course for the LDraw
Organization while the Standards Committee deals with the LDraw File Format.

  A few questions about making patterned parts
Posted by: Merlijn Wissink - 2016-01-03, 10:01 - Forum: Help - Replies (1)

For some reason, I decided I wanted to make all the Adventurers sets in LDraw, but complete including all missing patterns etc.
Aside for a bunch missing parts which I hope someone can make (for example this, this, this, this or this), there are also a lot of missing stickers and patterns.

Now, I have no idea if I'll ever finish all these Adventurers sets (sadly, I'm known for not finishing things...), I do have a few 'general' questions.
I'm quite new to making LDraw parts. I did a few patterned parts about a year ago (with help from Philo, thanks Philo!), but I'm stuck now with 2 things:

  1. How can I make a patterned minifig head? Does someone maybe have a LPC template?
  2. I wanted to make this pattern (I do have this part in real life btw Wink ), but when I import the 'projection' data in LPC, a lot of the shape is missing. Is that because it uses these 'primitives' or something like that?

And aside from that, I also have this question about LPC:
When I import a brick as projection data in LPC, there's an option that says 'Edit reference lines'. That way I can remove those green reference lines, but I can't remove the yellow dots and when I export the part, LPC still splits at the spots where there used to be a green line.

Hopefully my questions are clear and somebody would like to take the time to answer these Smile
Thanks!

  MLCad.ini 2015-02 update now available
Posted by: Willy Tschager - 2016-01-02, 15:12 - Forum: LDraw.org Announcements - Replies (1)

Hi folks,

I just updated the MLCad.ini file accordingly to the latest LDraw.org parts update 2015-02. The .ini file defines (among other things) the parts available in MLCad's minifigure generator.

Download the file from my website: http://www.holly-wood.it/mlcad/mlcad_ini-en.html

Bye, w.

  OMR + TEXMAPped unofficial file = ???
Posted by: Philippe Hurbain - 2016-01-02, 8:26 - Forum: Official File Specifications/Standards - Replies (51)

OMR specification requires to include unofficial files (a very good thing!), but what to do when this unofficial part contains TEXMAP images? Can we imagine a way to include these images in MPD? How to make this compatible with applications that support TEXMAP (afaik LDView, LDCad, LeoCAD and Bricksmith)?

And a 2016 good new year's resolution: have TEXMAP images on Parts Tracker !
