  LPub3D - page layout on multistep pages
Posted by: Jetro de Château - 2016-01-20, 14:37 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (29)

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

Am I missing something or are those the current limitations of the program?

  Bike category should probably be cleared
Posted by: Travis Cobbs - 2016-01-19, 17:49 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (2)

Currently, the Bike category contains only four parts:

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

I only checked 50859bc01, but it is there due to "Bike" being the first word of its description. (It does not contain a !CATEGORY meta.) Many other parts with a "Bike" prefix have been moved to the Vehicle category using the !CATEGORY meta. I think the remaining "Bike" files should be moved as well.

See here for images of the "Bike"s in both categories.

  Problems with AIOI
Posted by: Michael Horvath - 2016-01-19, 12:23 - Forum: All Other Programs. - Replies (5)

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.

  Anton Raves POV parts
Posted by: Michael Horvath - 2016-01-19, 12:03 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (2)

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.

  Major spam attack
Posted by: Orion Pobursky - 2016-01-19, 5:43 - Forum: Website Suggestions/Requests/Discussion - No Replies

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

  Changes in install path
Posted by: Jetro de Château - 2016-01-15, 12:15 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (9)

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?

  Hiding parts from the part list in LPUB
Posted by: Jetro de Château - 2016-01-15, 10:47 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (8)

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...

  LDCad pane docking
Posted by: Jetro de Château - 2016-01-15, 9:11 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (4)

I'm working my way through the LDCad tutorials and trying to build some models to get the hang of it.
There are a couple of things that I can't quite figure out. One of them is the location/docking of panes. Somehow my color bin and parts bin panes have become undocked and I can't find a way of docking them again. How do I dock them again so they are not on top of the compass if I move them to the left side?
