I've enable the use of user avatars. You can upload a 100px by 100px image of your choices at Control Center -> Avatars. As always, avatars must conform to the usage guidelines (i.e. be in good taste). You can also turn off the viewing of avatars at the same location list above.

Side notes:
- I think 100 by 100 might be to big for my taste but I go with it for now.
- Don't ask me to enable gif images. I turned them off on purpose to preclude animated images.

Hello,
Does someone know, if it's possible, how to display an MLCad arrow only in one step and to hide it in the following steps ?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Hi,

I just noticed that old articles are no longer properly found when searching for keywords in them.
In my case, I was looking for the old "which color to use for silver" thread.

Reason was that the default of the search function currently adds a constraint
"only search posts which are not older than 1 year".

I find this silent default addition confusing and would like to ask to drop it.

A user wanting to add a time constraint can still do that in the "advanced search" function.

The LDraw Parts Tracker has been updated to allow up to 200 characters in the line 1 part description.

There may be some knock-on impact on the display of the Parts List and Activity pages and I'll deal with those if they become a problem. If anyone sees any other problems, please let me know by posting here.

I think I'm misunderstanding something about the transform matrix for line type 1. Long story short, I've written a program to convert LDRAW files into something that threejs (3D library for JavaScript) can use, but I'm getting surfaces with the wrong normals, and it's not obvious what's going on.

So take a look at this line in p/stud.dat:

I trying to create some part pictures with a batch file i found on holly-wood.it
This is my second attept and it got a bit better. First i did not get any result but now i got a few pictures before it poped up with an old friend "Ldview need to close". This on my best computer (12 GB memory 3,2 quad core Intel running win 7 64 bit, ATI radon HD 68xx ) with the setting in Ldview on memory usage to low.
The batch was all parts from 3001.dat to 3089.dat. Since i got the same problem with Ldview need to close on my first attemt also, so i shorted the number off parts it needed to process. When it had processed 3004pt6.dat it stopped with the message and pressing cansel let it go on but did not create any pictures and it poped up on and on.

Hello.
Is anybody working on this part? If not, then i am trying to improve this part.
