  BB-8 Body
Posted by: Gerald Lasser - 2017-10-13, 14:41 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (4)

I decided to do a few parts from the LDD leftovers. One of the is the BB-8 body, part 20953.

When doing it in the usual 16  segment, I find it too rough, not giving an eye-pleasing result. However making it 48 segments seems a bit too many, as the number of (plain) surfaces on the sphere would be around 720. I tried with 32 segments for a circle now and this is the result below. Note, that the print is 48 segments.

What's your opinion on the number of segments?

  75192 Millennium Falcon
Posted by: Jaco van der Molen - 2017-10-13, 12:18 - Forum: Official Models - Replies (28)

Hi all,

Because I probably won't ever build it for real, I began digitizing the 75192 Millennium Falcon just for fun.
Reaching step 378 I ran into something strange which is I think an illegal connection?
   
The red liftarm won't fit here?

  Commissioning Custom Parts Design
Posted by: A D Barbour - 2017-10-10, 22:05 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (2)

I design custom Lego models and one of my clients is seeking someone to create LDraw versions of a set of custom tank tracks so that they can be correctly represented in LPub instructions for his kitsets.

My client is willing to pay a reasonable fee for anyone capable of producing these virtual parts. If this sounds like something you are interested in, please contact me via my website (www.bm-mocs.com) and I will put you in touch with the client.

  How to add/update latest parts in LDCad?
Posted by: Yasen Nikolov - 2017-10-10, 18:34 - Forum: Help - Replies (9)

Hi guys, i'm relatively new to designing Lego models, and I'm missing some essential information on some important and maybe simple to do things like this, so I decided to ask for help. 

I'm using LDCad and it is amazing, but for the first time I encountered a part that is not in the library, because it is from 2017 sets. I updated LDCad with the latest version, but I don't think this is what needs to be done as part is still not there. I downloaded latest parts from the site as well, but am not sure how to or if I am at all able to install them into LDcad.

Could you please provide me with some guidelines how to add missing parts into LDCad 1.6a?

Thank you in advance!

  LPUB Callout Pointer syntax & bending
Posted by: Jörg Schwarzländer - 2017-10-09, 20:12 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (4)

Can someone please explain to me the meaning/syntax of the <intBase> Parameter in the both metas

0 !LPUB CALLOUT POINTER (TOP_LEFT|TOP_RIGHT|BOTTOM_LEFT|BOTTOM_RIGHT) <floatX> <floatY> <intBase>

0 !LPUB CALLOUT POINTER (TOP|BOTTOM|LEFT|RIGHT) <floatLoc> <floatX> <floatY> <intBase>

And in addition: Is there any chance to model a bended arrow/pointer? If so, how?

If I missed some sources bringing light in this, please point me to them.

Hi there,
I have developed and produced some track links for tank models.
Of course I have the 3D files from the development.
Now I need some help to create LDraw files for unofficial parts based on my 3D files.
Is there anybody who can help me with this?
Thanks

  Connect road to bridge
Posted by: Michael Horvath - 2017-10-07, 18:31 - Forum: MOCs (My Own Creations) - No Replies

Can anyone think of a better way to connect the road to the bridge in the attached model? I'm not an expert in SNOT design, and would like to see other people's ideas. Thanks!

  Parts Tracker > Patterned Part Reference, e.g. 98138
Posted by: Gerald Lasser - 2017-10-06, 16:41 - Forum: Website Suggestions/Requests/Discussion - Replies (8)

Hello,

For whatever reason I decided to do all the missing patterns for the 1 x 1 Tile Round. Having a lot on my own and including three BL orders I have finished and uploaded thirtyseven (37) additional patterns, puh...

One small complaint on the PT, though:

The renderings of the patterned parts are extremely small and nearly impossible to distinguish. It would be great if the images for this page could be rendered a bit larger, especially for 1 x 1 and 2 x 2 parts. Torsos are better, but slightly larger would be great.

And here's the overview of all patterns the 98138 comes in (in their original color):
