  [LDPartEditor] 0.8.2 Beta Released
Posted by: Nils Schmidt - 2015-06-04, 13:02 - Forum: Parts Author Tools - Replies (16)

Hello,

I'm just releasing LDPartEditor 0.8.2 Smile I will try to release early and often!

[Image: imgDuke2.png]
You can download LPE from this page:
http://nilsschmidt1337.github.io/ldparteditor/

Make sure that you choose the right architecture for your OS and Java Virtual Machine (JVM) (64bit or 32bit).
A short guide how to check if a 64bit JVM is installed on your system is located at the bottom of this message.

  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 LPE.
  4. On linux/mac, you have to excecute the shell script "run.sh" to start LPE.

Please note that this software is in the beta stage. Although, LPE 0.8.2 was carefully tested and developed, there are already known issues for this release. There is a potential risk of data loss.

You can search for updates if you do the following steps:

  1. On windows, double-click "update.bat" to search for updates.
  2. On linux/mac, you have to excecute the shell script "update.sh".

LPE is a 3D CAD application: The overall system requirements are higher. While I recommend to use a powerful 64-bit multicore system, it could be possible, to run LPE on older machines as well.


Changelog:

With this release you will be able to...
  • ...experience a faster program start.
  • ...use a wireframe render mode.

This release comes with 9 important bugfixes as well (including a fix for the french AZERTY keyboard).

System Requirements:

Minimum System Requirements:
  • Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.7
  • OpenGL 2.1 compatible Graphics Card
  • Operating System (32/64bit): Windows [XP; Vista; 7 or newer], Mac OS X [>=10.6], Linux [e.g. Ubuntu Linux >=10.4]
  • CPU: Multicore-Processor e.g. Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Athlon II (>2.0Ghz)
  • RAM: 2.5GB
  • Video-Memory: 512 MB
  • Free Disk Space: 100 MB

Recommended Requirements:
  • Operating System (64bit): Windows 7, Mac OS X [>=10.6], Linux [e.g. Ubuntu Linux >=10.4]
  • CPU: Multicore-Processor with 4 cores (or more)
  • RAM: >4 GB
  • Video-Memory: >512 MB
  • Free Disk Space: 512 MB


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How to check your JVM version (32- or 64-bit):
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You can try on the command line:

Code:
java -d64 version

If it's not a 64-bit version, you'll get a message that looks like:

Code:
This Java instance does not support a 64-bit JVM. Please install the desired version.

In general, I recommend to install the 64-bit version of the JVM.

  Questions regarding stickers
Posted by: Christophe Mitillo - 2015-06-02, 8:47 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (11)

Hi everyone,

Recently, I decided to submit some of my own parts to the part tracker. Some of them are stickers, for set 70816.
I know that almost all of them do not meet the standard because of some choices I made when authoring them.

-First, a lot of them are flat but due to fit on sloped parts. I created them bended and right in place regarding the part associated.
I know it's a violation to the standard, but if I modify them and make them flat and horizontal, It then very difficult to place them correctly on the model later. It was a concious choice because of the sole usage of these stickers on this very set.

-Two, some of them are formed stickers due to fit on curved parts, so, consciously, I added conditional lines to the stickers, even if I knew it's another violation to the standard. Removing cond lines will ruin the renders in Pov ray.

So, I want to know if these stickers can be removed from the parts tracker, as I dont really want to correct these issues. corrections will make them totally useless for me.

I know I should have asked all these questions before submitting. I'm very sorry for inconvenience.

Chris

  Part 20310 Brick, Modified 1 x 1 with Capital Open Stud
Posted by: Jaco van der Molen - 2015-05-27, 7:41 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (11)

Hi all,

Its been a while since I've been here, but I am still into LDraw!
For a new model I need this very new part:
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=20310
It is only used (or going to be used) in http://brickset.com/sets/41098-1/Emma-s-Tourist-Kiosk which is brand new too.
Can someone make a mockup or create the part?
I can provide hi-res pictures if needed.

Thanks!

Jaco

  5541stickers
Posted by: Roland Melkert - 2015-05-25, 22:13 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (6)

I could not find the (3) 5541 set stickers, anyone working on those, I think they are fairly easy to make (except maybe the license plate one).

I would appreciate it if these stickers made it into the library at some point (goes for all the missing model team stickers) Smile

Thanks.

  Best way to help part author volunteers to meet part requests?
Posted by: Neil - 2015-05-20, 13:46 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (4)

Greetings LDraw Friends,

Aside from providing links to BrickLink/BrickSet images, is there anything I can do to help part author volunteers to meet part requests?

For example, does a part author need to physically have the part and 3D-scan it? Such as Sabine's hair (from the Ezra Speeder Bike set):
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemPic.asp?P=18858pb01
