Finishing the Crane Arms - 2350/a/b/c/d |

The simple addition of the wide version of the 2350 turned out to be a lot trickier than thought, especially due to wrong information also being present on both Peeron and Bricklink.
Now after previously sifting already through building instructions, pictures etc. I sketched a little family-tree of the said part and what in my opinion needs to be done to get them all into a proper released status. (Click on the pic to get a larger version)
There are now three new subfiles:
- (2350s01.dat) The base
- (2350s02.dat) The narrow beam without sides
- (2350s03.dat) The side pattern
Now what to do: - The original part, 2350.dat, was moved to 2350a.dat. However this part is not existing in its unprinted form. But for the sake of compatibility to older digital MOCs it still needs to be kept as 2350a. But it shoul d look like the original 2350.dat. 2350a was last edited by Steffen.
- 2350ap01.dat is on the PT, using the available sub-files, no action necessary.
- 2350b.dat, the one using this name right now is the wide version, which in fact is actually the 3rd version of this part. Therefore it should be renamed to 2350c.dat (2350b was last edited by me) The real 2350b needs to be created (will look like the current 2350a)
- 2350bp01.dat is not the PT at the moment, should be made available using the subfiles
Actions:
- Create the part (I will do so)
- 2350c.dat, the one on the PT is the 4th iteration of this part, rightfully it should be 2350d.dat 2350c was last edited by Magnus.
- 2350d.dat, not yet existing, proposal to use the code from the current 2350c.dat
Who will do what?
Pending some approval form the involved parties regarding the numbering we could either
- have the files renamed by admin edit
- or I could just edit the available files and move the code into the corresponding files
1.) move code of 2350c to 2350d
2.) move code of 2350b to 2350c
3.) create 2350b
4.) create 2350bp01
5.) change 2350a to use sub-files and get the 16th stud.
My only concern is that many people have touched some of those files, there are not many left for certification :-)
Thanks
Gerald

[LDPartEditor] 0.8.0 Beta Released! |

Hello,
I'm just releasing LDPartEditor 0.8.0 Beta
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.
- Download the zip-Archive
- Extract the archive content to the location of your choice
- On windows, double-click "run.bat" to start LPE.
- 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 0.8.0 was carefully tested and developed, there are already known issues for this release. There is a potential risk of data loss. LPE could endanger your system stability, too.
You can search for updates if you do the following steps:
- On windows, double-click "update.bat" to search for updates.
- 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.
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:
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.
PS: I am still busy with the creation of the manual, so you "have to experiment" with my (complex) software product until you've got the manual.

Update 7:
10th April 2015, 22:26GMT+2: I am still writing the manual. I also improved the build process of the application. It is now easier for me to deliver new features and fast bug fixes in the future. You may have noticed here, that LDPartEditor comes with a seperate updater application, which can search and install new updates.
Update 6:
9th April 2015, 19:30GMT+2: I am writing now a short manual for the installation and use of LDPartEditor.
Update 5:
9th April 2015, 00:16 GMT+2: Milestone 0.8.0 is now complete. The release process starts as soon as possible.
Update 4:
8th April 2015, 21:31 GMT+2: I need one more day again...
Update 3:
8th April 2015, 00:16 GMT+2: Sorry guys. I need one more day. Im am implementing "Glitter and Speckle" support right now... Well, it's very hard to do... Far more difficult than I assumed.
But this is the last feature which I need to complete the LDConfig parser... and the 0.8.0 milestone.
Update 2:
7th April 2015, 22:40 GMT+2: I expect to be ready at 23:50 GMT+2.
Update 1:
7th April 2015, 20:30 GMT+2: I need about three to four hours to complete my work for milestone 0.8.0... I expect to be ready at 23:30 GMT+2.
I will release LDPartEditor 0.8.0 Beta on Tuesday, 7th April 2015 (11th April 2015). This time it will happen
