  Newest version of part 65676a has the road sign portion the wrong size
Posted by: Peter Grass - 2025-11-13, 18:48 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (3)

65676 was changed to 65676a to add the new lower clip, but I noticed that the actual triangular sign dimensions are different for the BI part too. It is bigger in all dimensions. 2.256 X 0.887 X 1.989 vs the old 2.2 x 0.85 x 1.94

  Looking for Experienced LDraw Part Author (Paid Work)
Posted by: Ansgar Riedel - 2025-11-13, 10:35 - Forum: Help - Replies (12)

Hello everyone,

we are currently working on a project that requires a number of custom LDraw parts. To keep everything compatible with the official LDraw standards, we are looking for an experienced LDraw Part Author who can create high-quality, highly optimized .dat files.

This is paid work, and we are looking for someone with the following experience:

Requirements

  • Strong experience with LDraw part authoring
  • Ability to create primitive-based, clean, and efficient geometry (minimal triangles, correct use of subfiles, primitives, condlines, BFC, etc.)
  • Familiarity with the LDraw Part Authoring Guidelines
  • Ability to work with custom elements, modified versions of existing parts, or completely new parts based on STEP/OBJ files
  • Experience with LDPartEditor and LDraw primitives is important

What we provide
  • STEP/OBJ reference files
  • Technical drawings or measurements if needed
  • Clear specifications for each part
  • Potential for ongoing paid collaboration

What we expect
  • Clean, optimized .dat files
  • Correct BFC usage
  • Correct origin and grid alignment
  • Use of LDraw primitives whenever possible

Volume of work
We need several custom parts and are looking for a reliable long-term collaboration.

How to apply
If you are interested, please reply here or send me a private message.  Smile

Thank you!
Ansgar

  Parts tracker activity log filter options
Posted by: Peter Blomberg - 2025-11-13, 6:18 - Forum: Website Suggestions/Requests/Discussion - No Replies

The parts tracker activity log page contains nice filtering options. Is it possible to exclude the events that I have done so that I get a view of what others have done?

  LPub3D re-render everything for a change
Posted by: mihao - 2025-11-12, 4:09 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (1)

Hi,

I am using LPub3D to generate instructions for my MOC, and I am using the current version 2.4.9 r36.
One issue I am facing is that, whenever I modify a page, such as inserting some plain text, LPub3D will immediately re-render everything from the very first page. I don't remember this behavior in previous versions.
Is there a setting that I can turn this off? or this can be a bug.

Moreover, I can no longer enter a number to jump to that page.

Thanks
Michael

  47847 dual mold
Posted by: Massimo Maso - 2025-11-10, 23:49 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (9)

Hello,
as requested for the part 33458, I'm working on the dual mold version of 47847.

I have attached the first version I made.

I have some questions:
- The original part has various double vertices and inaccuracies. Do I correct them, or is there some reason why they were left?
- The transition of the two colors is not well defined, there is a blurred stroke. There is no way to do that with the code we currently have. Can the division I propose go?
- Should Edge and  Cond lines involving faces with different colors be split in two, or left long only in one half, as I did in the uploaded version?

If there is anything else I had to pay attention to, please point it out to me.

Massimo

  patterned parts
Posted by: Peter Blomberg - 2025-11-09, 18:37 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (5)

Are patterned parts allowed to deviate from the mesh of the unpatterned version?

It seems different authors have chosen different solutions. Some authors prefer using 5 decimals to make sure that the patterned part doesn't introduce new cond lines. Other authors find it perfectly acceptable to deviate from the unpatterned mesh and ignore the need for new cond lines.

Is there any consensus?
Are both approaches acceptable?
Is either approach preferable?
Why shouldn't the deviating mesh also require new cond lines?
