Just read this on Eurobricks forum, after many rumors...

Quote:I've just touched base with one of our Digital Product Specialists within the Consumer Services team. A business decision has been made to no longer allocate resources towards the LDD program / initiative. For now, the program will continue to be offered to anyone interested in utilizing it but please do not expect any updates regarding functionality, the adding of new LEGO elements or glitch fixes. We have decided to pursue other digital experiences. Although this may not be the answer you were hoping for, I hope this information will be of use to your RLUG members. Thank you for your time and continued support for the LEGO Brand & hobby.

When I make instructions with LPub3D everything is fine as long as I use one step per page.
However, when I include more than one step on a page several things get out of control

1. The steps cling together at the vertical centre of the page.
   I have found out that using 0 !LPUB RESERVE 0.1 will help me separate them, but ideally I would want the first step to start at the same location it would be if it was a single step on a page.
   .
   
   
2. The steps cling together at the horizontal centre of the page.
   I have not found a way to make PLIs stay on the same (horizontal) spot between pages (e.g. always at 2cm from the left margin). Instead they dance around the page depending on the width of the view of the model
   
   

Currently, the Bike category contains only four parts:

• 50859bc01
  
• 50859ac01
  
• 50860c01
  
• 52035c01
  

Does anyone have a definition for color #39 that is intended for LGEO renders? Thanks!

I'm having problems with the AIOI.

First, it unistalled MLCAD 3.30 and 3.40 which I installed in their own sub-directories of LDraw and didn't want deleted.

Second, no matter what I do, the AIOI will not install the parts. It installs the unofficial parts, but not the official parts.

I am trying to install to "E:\Programs Windows\LDraw".

Things are messed up!

[edit]

When uninstalling the tools, it deletes l3p14beta, but there's no option to re-install it from within the AIOI.

Also, I wish there were a way to disable installation of LDView, since I want the beta version installed instead of this one.

Here's a screenshot showing no Parts directory.

I'm trying to render some models in POV-Ray using Anton Raves' library that comes with the All-in-one Installer. However, I keep getting an error that "ar_material.inc" is missing. Where do I find this file??!

Thanks.

I just deleted something like 1100 posts from a very dedicated spammer. Since this massive amount of posts required me to delete messages from the back end, I apologize if any legitimate posts were deleted. The delete script was very specifically tailored so this shouldn't have happened but if it did, now you know

As I said in an earlier post, I'm trying to get back up to speed with LDraw and in addition I'm on a "virgin" system (Windows 7 Ultimate x64) so I'm installing everything fresh.

I used the latest AIOI (2015-1) after which I used LDView to update my parts.

So far so good. Today I needed LSynth constraints to create a string. Somehow that didn't get installed with my AIOI (I didn't do a full install, but I only remember leaving out Pov-RAY).
Anyway, easy enough following the excellent tutorials on Holly-Wood. That is, until I tried to install the extra parts and couldn't find my part library. I have since located it under C:\Users\Public\Documents\LDraw, but it would be nice to see this updated in the tutorials

I have also downloaded the latest MLCad.ini file and modified it as per the instructions in the same tutorial (http://www.holly-wood.it/lsynth/tutorial-en.html). I have indiated LSynth is located at
%PATH = "C:\Program Files (x86)\LDraw\LSynth\bin\lsynthcp.exe" (commas because of the "gap" in the name)
and added the following line to the scan order list:
7 = Show <LDRAWDIR>Unofficial\LSynth
which corresponds to the location I have unpacked the helper files
C:\Users\Public\Documents\LDraw\Unofficial\LSynth

I have then saved the MLCad.ini and placed it next to MLCad.exe in the installation folder.

Next up I have told MLCad to rescan the parts list and I have created a new part tree entry for LSynth.

However, the helper files do not show up in the part tree and MLCad shows all LSynth commands greyed out.

What did I do wrong?

I'm trying to get back into the game and running into all sorts of issues I thought I knew...

I'm building a WeDo model and I'm having some issues with cables and strings. I'm trying to add a PF connector in a step without is showing up in the parts list. I thought I needed to ghost the element to do so, but LPub still shows it. What could I be doing wrong?

Another issue is with the string. Rather than show a 41L string in the parts list (which makes it way to big) I would like to add an image of a curled up string to the parts list and a generated string (with bends etc.) in the model. I assume the procedure is similar...
