Hey,

I just "finished" the first step of the "leg rework process"
The corrected hips+legs are attached to this post. The legs do not use subfiles at the moment.

edit: I updated all files on 2015-11-30.
edit2: The files are now on the parts tracker! (3815, 3816, 3817)

Here are the test scenarios from Magnus Forsbergs post

10240 UCS Red Five X-wing Starfighter [Star Wars]



Download MPD-file (OMR compliant)

Done with LDCad 1.4b (Win XP).
OMR compliance powered by MPD Center.

Errors:
- No display
- No stickers
- No patterned parts

According to the instructions there are 61 main steps and 66 submodels.

Following the problem mentionned here and after discussions with Mikeheide about MPDCenter, I think that OMR specifications should be updated to make it clear that unofficial parts MUST be included in OMR conform files.
It is more or less implied by this paragraph of the specification but it should be made much more explicit

Quote:Unofficial parts are allowed to be used. The filename of the unofficial part is subject to the following naming rules:

<Set Number>[-<Optional Qualifier>] - <Unofficial Part Number>.dat

Where:
<Set Number> is the the number printed on the model's container.
<Optional Qualifier> is a sequential number, starting with 1, added if there is more than one set that could be assigned <Set Number>.
<Unofficial Part Number> is the unofficial part number assigned in that very moment.

Example:
33956.dat would be renamed to 3345 - 33956.dat or 3345-1 - 33956.dat.

So this is my first attempt at building in MLCad. I intend to get this to OMR spec if possible. By the way, how do I embed an image in a post instead of just making it an attachment?


Two problems so far:
- How to model the string on the rear winch
- Positioning of the rear facing gun and the round transparent brick as this does not align with the normal Lego geometries

I think I also need to rebuild in line with some of the sub assemblies in the instructions.

More to come as I work through my challenges...

Regards,

Tim.

I'm new here and taking in an interest as I want to build some models then animate them in Blender.

Anyway - looking at the official models pack I opened the Front End Loader in MLCad and noticed a bug in the model - the pneumatic rams are not correctly located. MLCad gave me a warning dialog as I opened the file to say one or more parts has been upgraded to new versions so not sure if this is the cause.

What is the correct process for reporting this - I'm not yet feeling proficient to tackle fixing the model myself just yet.

Regards,

Tim.

I will use this thread to post my own requests and use it also to provide supporting material for others.

I am starting with Emmet's head in Foil (3626cp8f.dat)

Finally it turned up!
After countless tries to get the head rolling smoothly on the scanner I have to following two pictures that got pretty well:

   

   

You can see that there is an area on the side where there is no "aluminium foil"

Lite up block releases new Lego 10245 Santa's Workshop
with lighting kits.

Does anyone know if this has been added to LDD yet?



I've been looking but I don't see it, maybe I'm just missing it somehow?

Thanks!

Creating a File Header you can choose either “Model” or “unofficial Model” :

0 !LDRAW_ORG Model -OR- 0 !LDRAW_ORG Unofficial_Model

May anybody give a definition or a link for “Model” respectively “unofficial Model” with respect to OMR Compliance?
I failed to find the answer on LDraw.

Thanks for help.
