  LPub Background Picture issue
Posted by: Steve - 2016-11-06, 1:36 - Forum: Help - Replies (1)

Hi,

For some time i've tried to work out why in LPub, I cannot use the option under: Configuration - Page Setup - Background - Picture. I select an image from my pictures folder but it either hangs the system or greys out the page entirely. Is there a format / size that the picture needs to comply with? I am using Windows 7 Home. Everything else works well, I can add borders etc, I am using LPub 4.0.0.11.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Kindest regards
Steve

  Mirroring models?
Posted by: Michael Horvath - 2016-11-02, 5:39 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (3)

Is there a tool I can use to mirror a model across an axis? I couldn't find such a command in MLCad.

Thanks.

  Circle/curve generator?
Posted by: Michael Horvath - 2016-11-01, 2:57 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (7)

Is there a tool available that can draw a curve or circle with a given radius, and then approximate that curve with bricks? Thanks.

[edit]

I recalled that MLCad has a mosaic generator that can take a bitmap image as input. But I haven't found a good tool to draw the circles.

1. Paint.NET output isn't symmetrical in my tests.
2. GIMP draws the circles too thick. I want them only 1px thick.
3. This tool is pretty good, but I don't know how to get rid of the gray lines. https://donatstudios.com/PixelCircleGenerator
4. Ditto. http://www.mineconics.net/

I have a copy of Paint Shop Pro somewhere. I will need to dig it out of storage.

Hi all,

I am looking for some specific minifig torso's and heads.
I was wondering if someone knows if these are made?
Else, I need something closest to them.

  LDCad - colors bleeding
Posted by: Michael Horvath - 2016-10-30, 21:15 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (2)

I am having problems where the colors of underlying objects are bleeding through the overlying objects, even though the objects are not coincident. See attachment.

  LICreator - problems
Posted by: Krzysztof Skibicki - 2016-10-29, 18:24 - Forum: LDraw File Processing and Conversion - Replies (1)

Hey there!

First and foremost, I find this tool is great!

However, I have some troubles with it.

I have LIC_0.6.0 and LIC 0.9 - only these two I was able to find.

0.9 made my instruction in great 2400x1800 px, which I find great quality.

However, it looses step separators, plus makes trouble in PDF generation. Actually, yesterday I was able to produce PDFs, but today my computer hangs once I start doing that - Windows 10 on Phenom 955 BE with no external graphic card. So I tested it on my second computer, i5 Dell E6410 also with Win10. Same problems - but yesterday it was OK!

So I made whole instruction back again, from ldr file in LIC 0.6.0, but forgot to increase resolution, and default 800x600 produces bad quality.

I though, I will just set FullHD or even these 2400x1800 but then all parts are so small. Worse, PLI are small and when I edit template, it affects part but not frame, which stays small and needs to be clicked and just confirm to 100% scale but on each slide!

LIC 0.9 have troubles with submodels - once I start submodel, saved file cannot be opened again ;(

Either I make something wrong or LiC needs many improvments stll ;(

ps. LiC 0.6.0 works OK for me, but I just would like to import ldr model right into higher resolution...

  DUPLO Early Simple Machines missing parts
Posted by: Krzysztof Skibicki - 2016-10-28, 17:21 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (23)

Hello everybody!

I'm AFOL plus I'm teaching kids robotics using best tool ever made: Lego Education sets, from DUPLO Early Simple Machines, thru WeDO 1.0, 2.0 and last, but not least, Mindstorms.

I'm creating some instructions on my own - and today I need to make instructions for smallest kids: 3yrs old, who can't get on with instructions made by LEGO, where they combined few elements together and make pictures too complicated.

So, MLCad is my answer, but, it is missing technical DUPLO parts.

DUPLO Early Simple Machines set: https://education.lego.com/en-us/product...i-set/9656

Missing parts:

http://brickset.com/parts/4271573

http://brickset.com/parts/652323
plus a transparent gear box that has no own picture, but is presented on group elements:
http://bricker.info/sets/970680/

I know I'm asking for a big favour. As a reward, I can promise each and every instruction I make using them I will put on public.

If anyone needs specific pictures, measurement etc, I own these sets...

Best regards
Krzysztof
