  Updated LDraw tools for parts authors: Selector and SymSplitter
Posted by: Philippe Hurbain - 2014-03-14, 13:32 - Forum: Parts Author Tools - No Replies

A new version of Selector (V1.2) is available:

  • Bug correction: using discolor (-d, -d+) previously implied -m option
  • Bordering condlines are no longer selected if -b option is specified.
  • Condlines and edge lines are now sorted separately when -s option is specified.

A new version of SymSplitter (V1.2) is available, introducing new options:
  • -x++..-z-- are similar to -x+..-z-, but use an offset parameter to be able to use any plane in main directions, not just origin planes. "-x++ 0" is the same as "-x+".
  • -i inverts direction of split. No need to invert winding of elements in splitter file. This is active also for main plane splits, so -i -x+ is the same as -x-
  • -d0 options deletes nothing. This allows to snap elements of a file to splitter plane(s). Warning: splitter planes are infinite, so snapping may occur in areas far form the area you want to modify!

  Proposed changes to LDraw.org Standards Committee Charter
Posted by: Orion Pobursky - 2014-03-08, 13:23 - Forum: General LDraw.org Discussion - Replies (1)

Hi all, in light of the last few voting periods I'm proposing the following changes to the LSC Charter. The SteerCo has control of this document but in the interest of community input and transparency, I'm posting my suggested changes here for discussion prior to the SteerCo voting any change.

The reference document is here: http://www.ldraw.org/article/382.html
My proposed changes are listed below:

Nominations

Rename to Election Candidates

change text to:
Candidates for the election will be:
- The currently sitting LSC
- Any person who volunteers and meets the LSC eligibility requirements
Candidates may withdraw their candidacy at any time before and during the election cycle.



Elections

change text to:
Elections will be held according the the schedule listed in the Recurring Dates section. Only LDraw organization members will vote on the candidates by privately listing the five (5) nominees they select for the position. Votes will be received and tallied by the LDraw.org Steering Commitee, who will be accountable to each other and to the community for accuracy. In the event that the pool candidates is less then or equal to the number of available positions on the LSC, no election will be held.


Inaguration

Remove this section


Recurring Dates

change text to:

October 1: Annual summary published. Call for candidates.
October 14: All petitions for candidacy must be received and recorded
October 17: LSC Elections begin
October 31: LSC Elections end
On or before November 7: LDraw.org Steering Commitee announces election results
November 15: New LSC Members take office
* The dates may flex a few days in either direction due to the personal schedules of the site admins.

  LDView for Linux (4.2 beta) doesn't accept -ca and -cg
Posted by: Ingolf Weisheit - 2014-03-07, 20:39 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (3)

Hi,

I compiled LPub4 in Linux which runs fine. I render with LDView.
I used three version of LDView: a 4.2 under wine, a Linux-native 4.2 installed from the debs on sourceforge and a self-compiled Linux-native 4.2

Problems:
- with Wine-Version and Linux-natives I get different results by using the same args
- the problem seems to be the -ca and -ca arguments. Without it, both LDViews gave the same view on screen
- other arguments probably are not affected (but I didn't tested it a lot)
- the Linux-version-problem does happen both in the installed Ubuntu-deb and in a self-compiled binary

Question: are the -ca and -ca arguments in the Linux-versions inactive or is the syntax somehow different?

(there is a problem with the alpha-channel in the Wine-Version as well which prevents me from using the wine-LDView as renderer for LDPub, but this is another topic Smile

Im running it under Linux Mint Maya (pretty much a Ubuntu 12.04)

thanks for a reply and best regards, Ingolf

  Part 4070 dimensions
Posted by: Tatz - 2014-03-07, 11:41 - Forum: Help - Replies (5)

Hello all,
This is my first post to this forum, so my apologies if this is not the right spot for this question, or if it has been asked previously.

My question is about part 4070, aka the Erling or "headlight brick". The brick seems be modeled such that it "fits" in a perfect 1x1x1 stud opening, however this is not the case because the open stud on the face of the brick actually extends slightly out beyond the 1x1x1 footprint of the brick (I hope I have expressed this clearly). Needless to say, this inaccuracy in the dimensions has bitten me on more than one occasion when trying to build a model I've designed in MLCAD. As a side note, LEGO's own LDD (not a fan but I have tinkered with it in the past) - also seems to allow an adjacent brick in front of the studded facet.

Has this ever been discussed before or are there any plans to address this?

Thanks for any help!

  2014/2015 LDraw.org Steering Committee announced
Posted by: Willy Tschager - 2014-03-04, 16:55 - Forum: LDraw.org Announcements - No Replies

Since we had only 5 confirmed nominees, no election is necessary.

Therefore, the 2014/2015 LDraw.org Steering Committee [1] is:

Chris Dee
Tim Gould
Philippe Hurbain
Orion Pobursky
Willy Tschager

[1] Try not to confuse the LDraw.org Steering Committee (SteerCo) with the LDraw Standards Committee (LSC). The Steering Committee sets the course for the LDraw Organization while the Standards Committee deals with the LDraw File Format.

Congratulations to the new and a huge thank you to the outgoing members!

Willy Tschager
On behalf of the LDraw.org Steering Committee
