One of the hardest things to achieve is getting the perfect angle for a specific step. I normally use the standard angle, but sometimes you need to change it to show where a specific piece is attached...

I'm familiar with the use of the ROTSTEP command, both relative (which I use most) and absolute), but I was wondring if there were some better way to find the right angle than guessing the numbers.

When I used MLCad I used the preview window for the ROTSTEP command, but I haven't found anything similar in MLCad (yet). Since LPub3D also has a 3D view pane (which I haven't found a use for yet) I was wondering if that could be used to determine the correct numbers for a specific ROTSTEP command.

Hi,

we all came across the yellow heads in the library and I always wondered why he have allowed them? The file of one of these says:

Travis,

A while ago we switched to ldview to render the Parts Tracker images. Do you remember what the library requirements for the executable were? I'd like to do something similar for the OMR, if possible.

Once upon a time,

we've got data from the LEGO Universe team. I was much excited 'cos there was this part:

http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cg.../30113.dat

among them. The first cleaned file on my disk dates back 06.12.2010 - where it was a welcomed distraction on a 9 hour train ride to Berlin. The overall process was boring and I set it aside 'til I read this message. As you might know initially the LDPE had some issues with the middle mouse button and therefore the prog was useless for the planed task.

BUT NOW ITS DONE!

I'm new here, and just discovered this whole idea of creating digital Lego files and such. That said, I thought I'd at least try my hand at recreating a couple of my old Space Classic kits (especially since the original instructions were starting to fall apart). This is the first one I tried:

6825-1 - Cosmic Comet

I used LDCad 1.5, and then used MPDCenter to check/update for OMR compliance. At least I THINK I did it all correct. If there's something I did incorrectly, or need to change, don't hesitate to let me know. I'd like to learn on the little ones before I go crazy on some of the bigger models my kids have!

Hi all,

Finally I got into LDcad and learning quick.

Now I found this really nice model of a jeep by Larry Lars:

I made it digital exclusively with LDCad.
Then I made it with bricks, which was most fun because I had my own building instructions and parts list to find all bricks needed :-)
I made some minor adjustments and decided to ad a little chain at the front. See picture.

   

Now I want that chain made in LDCad. I've been trying a few things, but cannot get it right. See chain.mpd.
Can someone assist?
What I'd really like is it to be symetric like the real thing...

Thanks.

Yesterday, an interesting story was posted on the Rebrickable blog.
It's about two minor slope variations (92946 and 15672) which actually does have a (relatively) 'major' impact on the way the piece can be used.

I was wondering, does the LDraw library included such minor variations? I guess the answer is yes, since the library also includes other mold variations. But, this one is so minor, almost unoticeable on a PC screen.

Aside from that, it does mean that our current 92946 is actually slightly wrong. At the moment, the slope is exactly the same as 3040b, which it shouldn't be according to the measurements (and even LDD, as stated in the post).

Any thoughts about this?
