  LICreator - Part grouping
Posted by: Jarema - 2015-10-24, 12:21 - Forum: LDraw File Processing and Conversion - No Replies

Sometimes when parsing go to far we get result when some element must be as one.
I have have give the functionality to join parts together.
So the main question is: join them together OR search part marked as Complete - like 9556.dat

  Static 5 bars linkage angles calculation
Posted by: Philippe Hurbain - 2015-10-24, 8:33 - Forum: General LDraw.org Discussion - Replies (12)

Anyone knows how to calculate the angles of such a 5 bars linkage:
   
Graphically it's relatively simple (intersection of the locus of a 4 bars linkage with the circle of the 5th bar), but analytically it's another story...

I'll probably use a successive approximation method, but if somone has a better way...

  [LDView] LDView 4.2 Beta 1 for OSX bug report
Posted by: Orion Pobursky - 2015-10-23, 5:21 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (2)

Travis,

The export function does not work for LDView 4.2 Beta 1 on OSX. I can pick "Export" from the file menu but the dialog box never appears. This function does work on 4.1. I'm currently running OS X 10.11 El Capitan.

  Where does LGEO live right now
Posted by: Orion Pobursky - 2015-10-23, 5:14 - Forum: Rendering Techniques - Replies (2)

Whist trying to download a fresh copy of the LGEO library, I've found that the link on the LDraw website, http://www.digitalbricks.org/lgeo.html , is broken. Can someone point to me where this library is now?

  Slope Meta Command
Posted by: Orion Pobursky - 2015-10-21, 1:59 - Forum: Official File Specifications/Standards - Replies (21)

I'd like to propose a META for slope texture. Something like:

0 !SLOPE_TEXTURE BEGIN
<faces that have slope texture>
0 !SLOPE TEXTURE END

or if there's only one line:

0 !SLOPE_TEXTURE
<face that has slope texture>

  LDD2LDraw or lxf2ldr
Posted by: Rolf Osterthun - 2015-10-20, 19:18 - Forum: LDraw File Processing and Conversion - Replies (5)

Hey,

the tool for the conversion of LDD files to LDraw files is now available in a new version and ready for testing. It should be able to read .lxf and .lxfml files; both in LXFML version 4 and 5.
Currently it is only possible to generate .ldr files. The documentation and the update of the webpage is pending, I am sorry.

   

You will need a valid ldraw.xml. I hope it works.

Rolf

  Pneumatic valve naming
Posted by: Philippe Hurbain - 2015-10-17, 12:17 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (16)

The 42023 Mercedes Benz Arocs contains a variant of 47223 valve, with modified (stepped) output tubes.
[Image: 4694cc01.jpg]
According to Brickset, this new variant kept the same design number, but 47223a, 47223b and 47223c are used for various positions of switch. How should I name the new variant then?
