  Part 272.dat
Posted by: Michael Horvath - 2015-09-08, 16:57 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (5)

Can this part connect flush on a baseplate? I am looking at the bottom and there does not seem to be room for every stud. Compare to part 3943a.dat which does connect well on a baseplate (I think).

  LICreator 2.0.039
Posted by: Jarema - 2015-09-07, 20:36 - Forum: LDraw File Processing and Conversion - Replies (5)

Go to https://github.com/Jeremy1980/licreator and try new release. This compilation is under Python v2.7.8 and newest PyOpenGL libraries.

Changes related to previous 2.0.016 version Wrote::: Can change layout orientation for selected pages in one time
:: Can remove empty|blank pages automatically
:: Can expand only children of selected node in tree view
:: Change tool bar icon size to 18 pixels
:: Re-grouped tool bar actions
:: Lock icon use SmoothTransformation and ItemIgnoresTransformations flags now
:: Layout orientation actually remember in undo stack
:: For more look into changelog.txt

Usage of this version of build.py - windows|OSX only:
On windows use now PYTHONHOME environment variable, and probably you can build this with command line outside Eclipse.
In example put as value 'C:\Python 27' for %PYTHONHOME%.
In next download and install Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler for Python 2.7
Install Python 2.7.8 and dependencies:
  • setuptools-18.3.1
  • pyinstaller-2.1
  • PIL-1.1.7.win32-py2.7
  • PyOpenGL-3.1.0.win32
  • PyQt4-4.10-gpl-Py2.7-Qt4.8.4-x32
  • pywin32-219.win32-py2.7
and run build.py. Any response is welcome.

I need some from this forum with more that basic knowledge about LINUX operating system who test his just run LIC.py and return result.

  Modelling the inside of parts
Posted by: Ronald Vallenduuk - 2015-09-07, 16:20 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (3)

Under what circumstances and to what extent should the inside of a part be modelled?
The reason I'm asking this is that I'm working on the PF Track points and their 9V counterparts have the entire inside detailed in the part; the bottom cover is a complete part and everything below it is modelled too.
Personally I don't see any use or need for these details. That bottom cover is not intended to be removed and I'd say 99% of owners never have and never will.
In comparison, for example the PF motors don't have their insides modelled; the shell components are only drawn as far as they can be seen without disassembling the part.
Are there rules or guidelines about this? My intention would be to build the track points like the PF motors; only model what you can see. This would also affect the Monorail track switch that's being discussed elsewhere.

  Print part descriptions
Posted by: Michael Horvath - 2015-09-07, 14:02 - Forum: Parts Author Tools - Replies (2)

Is there a tool that will print a table or list of part filenames and part descriptions? Better yet if it's just a subset of parts that i can specify. Thanks.

  LDPub3D 1.2.1 - medium motor fade test
Posted by: David Manley - 2015-09-07, 9:59 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (9)

I'm struggling to get LPub3D to successfully generate build instructions with a faded medium motor. I am trying to diagnose whether this is due to my install of LPub3D or a bug. If someone here (other than Trevor) would try running LPub3D 1.2.1 against the simple model reproduced below and reply here with whether or not they see a faded medium motor on the third page, I would appreciate it. When I run it, I do not get a motor (either faded or not faded) on the third page whereas Trevor does see a faded motor.

  MLCad - Modify multiple selection
Posted by: Michael Horvath - 2015-09-03, 0:45 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (1)

Is there a way to replace all selected parts with a different type of part in a single action? I don't think there is.

  Does this build work IRL?
Posted by: Michael Horvath - 2015-09-02, 22:52 - Forum: MOCs (My Own Creations) - Replies (2)

Does the attached build "work" in real life? I tried and it seemed okay, but I don't want to do anything that might stress and bend or break parts. Thanks.

  Monorail Track Points
Posted by: Damien Roux - 2015-09-01, 5:37 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (17)

Hi there,

I'm planning to render the Unitron sets.

Appart form stickers that I can create, the only parts missing are the two Monorail Track Points

2890 - Monorail Track Point Left
2889 - Monorail Track Point Right
[Image: mzPWSVPMpn768Y1khMRQtfw.jpg]

I know the parts are quite complexe but I would love if someone could author them.
Thanks a lot.
