Part Length in LPub |

Hello
I am new here in this forum, an so first of all, hello to all.
I already use the search function, but i don´t find a right answer.
Have anyone an idea, how to show the part length from "Technic Flex Hoses" in the BOM of LPub?
The length of axles, beams,... is shown automatically, but not the length of the hoses.
Thanks
Johann
P.S.: Who finds spelling errors may keep them.

Lic - a tool for creating LEGO building instructions |

I just found this tool and wanted to share it with you, quoting from its Google Code page:
Lic is a cross-platform, Python, OpenGL & Qt powered desktop application for creating and editing LEGO instruction books. Lic imports 3D models, organizes them into submodels, pages & steps, and exports the end result as images or PDF.
Highlights:
- A rich, WYSIWYG UI editor, which provides a fully interactive preview window along side a drag & drop-enabled navigation tree, to help organize and layout your book.
- Automatically divide your model into steps. Add a list of parts needed for each step, and auto-layout multiple steps per page for a best fit. Auto-generate a title page and part list pages.
So far, Lic can import any LDraw model, but its dynamic importer makes it easy to add an importer for any 3D file type, and create instructions for that model. A Lego Digital Designer (LDD) importer is coming soon.
When you're done, Lic can export a final instruction book as a series of images or as a high resolution PDF.

LDForge |

After over 1 year of development, a beta build of LDForge 0.3 is out with massive changes and improvements. Release highlights: - multi-document support
- various optimizations that make LDForge a LOT faster than before
- able to download parts off the PT if desired
- circle tool with ring finder algorithm makes adding rings to parts mostly trivial, can also be used for edge circles and discs
- magic wand tool for easier group selection
- support for logoed studs
- support for direct colors
- auto-subfiler! just select and fire!
- various little new features, improvements and bug fixes
Note that this is beta-quality software and has not yet recieved complete exhaustive testing (i.e. I gotta get that kolhii stick done). This means, don't use in production work lest you risk a crash eating your work! I decided to post this after I managed to finally squish the nasty showstopper bugs. I'm thinking about just making the release 1.0 at this point.

LPUB - how to change assembly scale in a submodel |
Posted by: Jetro de Château - 2014-09-06, 20:43 - Forum: LDraw File Processing and Conversion

I'm trying to get to grips with LPUB. Specifically I'm trying to show separate subfiles in an MPD file to show a bigger assembly size than the main (complete) model. So far I have found the metacommand for assembly size is 0 !LPUB ASSEM MODEL_SCALE GLOBAL 1.0000 (=100%), but I have not found a way to make local changes for a single step or for subassemblies.
I have looked for a complete list of metacommands for LPUB, but the best I've come up with is this
https://sites.google.com/site/workingwit...tacommands
and that still looks incomplete - the precise metacommand I found in my LPUB file for assembly size includes the word GLOBAL, which makes me suspect there might be a LOCAL version too. (I've tried "LOCAL" and it didn't work for me)
Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Peeron Title:"Slope Brick 31 1 x 1 x 2/3"
LDraw Title:"Slope Brick 31 1 x 1 x 0.667"
http://peeron.com/inv/parts/85984
Peeron Title:"Slope Brick 33 1 x 2 x 2/3"
LDraw Title:"Slope Brick 31 1 x 2 x 0.667"
Both above .dat files internally use a slope gradient of 12/20 which is 30.96°, close enough to 31°.
I can't find a photograph of these two aligned together, so can anyone confirm that they are both using the exact same slope angle and that LDraw is correct and the Peeron title is wrong?
