http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cg.../54272.dat
I once tried to model this one but couldn't figure the saw details out. I just found out that an LDD model for it exists and is listed on this page but is redacted because the part exists on the PT.
Any way to retrieve the LDD model? I could try stitch the geometry from that onto the unfinished LDraw version. I'm grateful to my past self that I was smart enough to upload the unfinished version onto the parts tracker..

DATHeader 3.0.18.3 is out now.
BUGFIXES:
1) Typ-o 'supbart'
2) StarWars filename ending ..ps1.dat is detected as subpart.
3) In special cases colinear vertices are not detected
4) Error if first character in the title is a number
5) Wrong comment for official files not correctly detected.
I hope these errors are now gone.
If you find anything else not working like expected, please report it as answer here or write a PM.
Please download as usually from http://ldraw.heidemann.org/index.php?page=datheader
Have Fun

| [LDPatternCreator] Release 1.5.8 |

Hello,
as mentioned here, I could not resist to fix the scroll wheel bug in LDPatternCreator on Windows 10.
If you are already using a version greater than 1.5.0 you cannot update your installation by clicking on "Help -> Install Updates" anymore.
Please download and install the latest release directly from sourceforge.net.
Change log:
Fixed bug/new feature: - You can now zoom in/out with the scroll wheel on Windows 10.
As always, I included a short readme.htm in the installation directory.
Cheers & Leg Godt
Nils

Hi,
I've written a little JavaScript to break an .ldr file into steps (assuming it has none): ldr-stepper
It sorts an .ldr file's pieces by an axis (x, y [default], or z) in ascending order. You can choose to split the file into n pieces per step, or m total steps.
The output can be a reasonable place to start breaking your model into steps. I wrote this for a 375-piece model, so YMMV.
No other heuristics are performed. If anyone has any suggestions to improve the algorithm, or finds this useful, please let me know! You can reply here or file an issue on the GitHub.
For those unfamiliar with NodeJS, just follow the instructions in the README. Please let me know if you have issues--I've heard NodeJS is better on Windows if you run cygwin.
Chris

Is there a general-purpose brick-snapping algorithm published anywhere?
I have some ideas around computer-generated LEGO models, and things would be much easier if I didn't have to figure it out myself.

| Lower-casing the library |

My attention was drawn to this topic by a post by Sylvain Sauvage on LeoCAD list:
Code: I just realized that Leocad tries to open “ldconfig.ldr”.
The problem is the file is named “LDConfig.ldr” so it’s not
found on case-sensitive filesystems (that means about every
decent FS ;o).
Not a big problem as the default color palette is up to date
but, still, worth knowing IMHO.
Code: [quote]
I thought all files in the LDraw library were supposed to be lower case.
[/quote]
Parts files and directories are. LDConfig.ldr isn’t. (And .txt files aren’t either.)
I didn’t find any reference to case sensitivity in the LDR file format. I only found that for the Official Library
(http://www.ldraw.org/article/512.html):
“While both upper and lower case letters are permitted in filenames, filenames are case-insensitive. Currently, all
official parts are issued with upper-case only names.”
and that is contradicted by the fact that the ZIP file uses lower-case only names.
Plus, “internally,” the library isn’t consistent, .dat files refer to others as:
— low.dat
— UP.DAT
— UP.dat
— low.DAT
— and a few have MiXeD-cAsE references
