  Metalic gold primatives vs polygons rendering issue
Posted by: Peter Grass - 2026-02-11, 14:31 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (6)

I noticed that the part I was making when I was using a metalic gold ring primative it doesn't get treated the same way as the metalic gold polygons.

Basically the ring primative shows up as metalic in LDView but the polygons don't.

That makes the ring primative very obviously stand out even when both are using the same colour code of 82.

[Image: Screenshot-2026-02-11-141949.png]

So I could not use a ring primative instead but that would just be a workaround.

All the ring primatives in the dat are the same just the colour and size are obvously different

1 16 0 0 0 0.5 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0.5 4-4ring19.dat
1 484 0 0 0 0.5 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0.5 4-4ring18.dat
1 484 0 0 0 0.5 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0.5 4-4ring17.dat
1 82 0 0 0 0.5 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0.5 4-4ring16.dat

So I don't see why metalic gold should be any different to the others?  Either nothing should be treated as metal or both primatives and polygons need to be treated as metal not just one of the two since they are all the same colour.

Star [LDPatternCreator] Release 1.7.8 (shortcut for flip / new prims / ungroup)
Posted by: Nils Schmidt - 2026-02-08, 16:53 - Forum: Parts Author Tools - No Replies

Hey,

with this update I improved a few little things and Willy will be happy about the fact that 'helper lines' can be moved now.

Download and install the latest LDPatternCreator release directly from sourceforge.net.
Any previous version should be uninstalled first. Your program configuration will be preserved.

Change log:

New features:

  • "Ungroup" colourises subparts/primitives in their chosen colour.
  • It is now always possible to set the spline segment count when adding a spline.
  • Helper lines and template lines can be moved.
  • Added a shortcut to flip/rotate two selected triangles (Ctrl+F)
  • The file's name shows up along the title in the very top bar.
  • Added a helping tooltip for the "Triangle Auto-Completion" which explains the use of the CTRL and the cursor keys.
  • Added a hint for "freezing the selection" when adding new objects.
  • "2-4chrd" is added into the "Add Primitive" list
  • "tndis" is added into the "Add Primitive" list.

Fixed Bugs from 1.7.7 and older:
  • Missing overflow detection for large coordinates in the vertex window.

As always, I included a short readme.htm in the installation directory.

Cheers & Leg Godt

Nils

  looking for the complete zip download
Posted by: nobusiness909 - 2026-02-08, 7:07 - Forum: Help - Replies (5)

hi guys,

i'm looking for the complete zip download of both official and unofficial parts,  I want as much data as possible

i've found both
complete.zip - official
ldrawunf.zip  - unofficial?

am i missing anything?


there's about 654 files within ldrawunf.zip that also exists within complete.zip,  can i merge both safely?
i'd assume the overlap are unofficial parts which require official parts?


skimming the ~300 combined stickers i can't help but feel im missing some large repo... BrickLink lists nearly ~5,000 sheets

  Help Wanted: Discord Admin
Posted by: Orion Pobursky - 2026-02-02, 23:10 - Forum: Help Wanted - Replies (3)

I need someone who is Discord savvy to help setup and run our Discord server. I've come to the realization that I don't have the time to properly devote to this. Us old fogies like our forums but in order to continue to attract new authors and users we need some form of realtime chat and Discord is the place right now.

What I'd like is someone with experience in setting up a public Discord server and is willing to take on day to day admin duties. We're a small community compared to most so I don't expect this to be too much work. 

If you're interested, please respond and I'll add you to the admin team forum so we can discuss further.

  Complex Figures (Duplo/Technic/Fabuland)
Posted by: Chris Böhnke - 2026-02-01, 0:20 - Forum: Official File Specifications/Standards - Replies (6)

I came across this while trying to look for colour errors in the Fabuland Figures.

How shall complex figures be handled in the library?
Note that this is not something exclusive to a much older age, since the Duplo figures are still current. Also I am aware that many examples have not yet been done (and are unlikely to appear soon), but we do have examples already.

To explain what I mean with "complex figure", here's a (probably incomplete) list:
-in general, not meant to be disassembled; more than 5 (?) subparts
-Fabuland figures (1979-1989; including those 1986 Basic odd ones)
-Technic figures (1986-2000)
-Duplo Figures (2004-now)
-Duplo Figures (1983-2003)
-Belville, Scala etc.

Technically, these are "assemblies" yet not "true shortcuts", since they come as one single piece outside a sealed box.

A few issues here:

  1. File Number - usually this should be the Element Number, but not all of the older ones are known. The xxc0y format likely shouldnt apply here
  2. Base Colour - which to pick? This is often not that easy to determine, since some have every part coloured differently and an "official" version is not known
  3. Assemblies not always the same - Duplo hats/Fabuland heads - should these get the same "Shortcut Link", so you see all Duplo figures listed there?
  4. Some Fabuland figures are currently listed as "Physical Colour Shortcut" which feels wrong
  5. A few issues with the Duplo figures seem present as well

Any thoughts on this?
