I am building a big thing (that I cannot show) in tan on a green baseplate. I set the fade color to dark tan.
The thing is that it being a mono color model the fade color option is needed to clearify the new pieces.
However, the baseplate must remain green, because it is very ugly to see that in dark tan too in every next step after the first.
So I used a buffer exchange in every step that simply removes the baseplate and adds a new instance of the baseplate so it is not faded.
Then the fade color does something strange: the first new brick in line right after the STEP command is faded too.
Is this a know problem? Examples attached.
Errors:
- no stickers
- wrong patterned parts (cockpit, minifigs)
The mpd-file contains 114 submodels, 5 minifigs and 628 steps.
According to the instructions, this model is in a “certain kind of disorder”. Usually the main model grows step by step by adding submodels to the main model. For the 10212 set this is kind of different. The main model switches from time to time: A new submodel is built and then the supposed main model is added to this new submodel. So the submodel gets the new main model. Usually it’s vice versa.
