Hi (Trevor :-)

Would it be possible to come up with a meta command in LPub3D to local set the background color of a page or set a background image? It can be done global ofcourse using either submodel color or one solid color. And one image for all pages.
I.e.:

I've played with the Lego Digital Designer, and like some aspects of it, and others drive me nuts. One thing that I like is that it does a pretty good job with snapping pieces together. I'm also playing with LDCad, which is awesome, but I'm noticing some weird behavior and I'm not sure if it's specific to LDraw or LDCad. Here's what I've noticed:

The "Technic pneumatic T-piece Type 2" (4697b) does not appear to snap to the "headlight" hole on the front of "Brick 1 x 1 with headlight" (4070). However, it works just fine on "Brick 1 x 1 with stud on one side" (87087). Also, 4697b snaps just fine to the front hole on "Brick 1 x 1 with studs on four sides" (4733), but will not snap to any of the other holes. This is regardless of the axis stepping that I choose.

Is this by design, or should it snap to any of the holes in any of the bricks I mentioned?

I'm using LDCad v1.4 and the latest version of LDraw library (not sure exactly how to find the version of that), but I installed it using the AIOI about a week ago.

Hello, I'm new to these forums and LDraw Editors in general. I've been using LDCad 1.4 and am really liking it. Is there a way to reset the grid plane/axis to the "default" orientation? I haven't been able to find anything, sorry if I've missed it, I've devoured a lot of information about all this stuff over the past week and could have missed it. Thanks!

Hi there,

Maybe this adresses mainly to Philo as he created the p/4-4ering primitive.

Would it be possible to get a Hi-Res 48 version of this primitive?


Thanks a lot.

Hi

I have just installed LPUB3D and i have run into a couple problem with it.
The first is that when I change from standard document size to LEGAL and the orientation of the document is Landscape, the partlist stays in the middle of the page and I can't get it to move automatically to the upper left corner of the document.
How can I fix this, without having to move them all by hand ?

The other problem is when choosing POV-Ray as default editor.
POV-RAY complains about parsing commandline.
Any idea what to do about this - other than choosing another default renderer
I have attached a screendump of the error.
I should be running the latest version of POV-Ray.

The main LDraw.org website is down due to technical issues. I'm working the resolve this a soon as I can. The Forums, Parts Tracker, and Wiki should be unaffected since they use different software

Is it just me or have the "latest Forum posts" disappeared from the website? The heading is there but the posts aren't.

Hello everyone,

I've been looking deep into these forums and reading the legals and the organization lists and figuring out why on earth its been months if not years since a meaningful discussion on these forums.

As such, i am opening up a skype group for anyone who wishes to join in and have some fun.

My goals here are to engage the LDraw community and find meaningful ways to help out anyone and everyone, become a member of the board and find ways to improve, excite, and expand the community so more can enjoy a simply amazing way to play Legos!

To find the skype group, just click the group below (remove the "*'s"

htt*ps://join.skype.co*m/BYDZbcVvJuOy*

If there is an existing group i would be happy to join there, but i've not seen one here so ill just create one now

Hi all,

Maybe a strange question from me, but what settings does LPub use when rendering with LDView?
I've never been able to figure that out after all these years working with LPub (original and now LPub3D).

I have more PC's that run LDraw where I produce instructions and I am under the impressions it is different on every manchine, though the LDraw installation is pretty standard.
Also the resolution of the screen seems to affect the width/height of the images.
Where on one machine all assemblies fit nicely on the page, rendering the same LDraw file on another machine the images are either bigger (alas don't fit anymore) or are smaller.

Is there a way to force LPub(3D) what LDView settings it uses?

Thanks.
