  LDCad: rubber band in 3D
Posted by: Milan Vančura - 2016-04-08, 4:31 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (3)

I tried to put the rubber band on a construction which is not flat. Something like
    .

The default what LDCad does is
    .
There are two problems: the green and red ball rods do not point to the previous and next circle correctly and rubber band is twisted between the top left an top circle. Is there a way how I can fix it manually? I did not find any way to change rods directions (only their length). And any change of their "roll" did not help with the twisted band problem.

Or should I use "bezier" instead of circles? Thanks.

  Apply pattern to part using LD Pattern Creator
Posted by: Reuben Pearse - 2016-04-07, 20:32 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (3)

Hi there,

I've created a sticker part using LD Pattern Creator (it's the S.H.I.E.L.D. logo for the Quinjet) - see attached file sticker_v8.dat

However I've now realised that I need to add/apply the pattern to an existing part - 6881b.dat.

Do I need to create a new projection template for this brick?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Reuben

  Textured sticker generator
Posted by: Roland Melkert - 2016-04-06, 20:48 - Forum: Parts Author Tools - Replies (2)

Hi all I wrote a very quick and dirty sticker generator

Might be useful to get simple sticker parts going.

Feel free to comment / use it in any way.

  Access key for "Preview Post"
Posted by: Milan Vančura - 2016-04-05, 10:09 - Forum: Website Suggestions/Requests/Discussion - Replies (4)

Hi.

I've found there is already an access key for posting the comment ("s"), that's great. Could you add the access key "p" for preview, please?

It's handy to just press shift-alt-s to send the message instead of scrolling the page and looking for the button with mouse. But Preview button does not have the access key assigned.

  Universal joint end (3712.dat) internals
Posted by: Roland Melkert - 2016-04-04, 20:40 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (7)

hi all,

I think the internals of 3712.dat are modeled wrong. As I noticed the axle won't go in far enough while using them for the 8860 model.

Question Parts tracker not recognizing login?
Posted by: Mark Kennedy - 2016-04-04, 5:09 - Forum: Website Suggestions/Requests/Discussion - Replies (21)

For some reason when I click on either the 'my submits' or 'my reviews' links under the tools link of the parts tracker it doesn't always immediately recognize that I am already logged in and will sometimes give me a message telling me I need to log in to access that function. Is anybody else having this problem? If it matters I am using Netscape Navigator version 9.
