Hello.

I've found that the diameter of the hole on top of Phoenix head is wrong: it is 1.8 but it should be 2 to allow parts like Hair Decorations or Flames to fit in. Like at this picture.

Please, can anyone fix that?
I do not know how to contact the part author directly even I know his nick (angmarec) because this forum does not support private messages. Many thanks for your help.

Does this one exist in LDraw?

Hi there,

I would like to author x151 part.


From what I've found on the tracker there is the x223.dat serie that exists, but in a formed shape.
I want it with no constrain, which is basically a 3 dimensions ring.

From what I've found the belt dimensions are 15mm / 1.6mm.

You can find attached what I've made so far.


Question is, how can I make primitive substitution in ldview not look ugly? I am not able to find primitive rings fullfilling this part dimensions.

Hi together,

is there somewhere the information available which official part exists with which color? Currently I can use each part with each color in MLCad e.g. I'd like to know which parts do really exist.

Best Regards

Hi,

does someone have tried to render a part with one of the chrome colors (60, 61, 62, 63)? If I try this I get pure white bricks.
I exported the brick with ldview to povray and it seems that something is wrong with the LDXChromeRefl parameter. I changed it from 0.85 to 0.6 and my brick is at least visible.
Con someone confirm this?

Best Regards

Sven

Download MPD-file (not OMR compliant)

OMR compliant mpd-file created by Philippe Hurbain



OMR compliant mpd-file containing display and minifigs

Done with LDCad 1.4b (Win XP) and 1.5 Beta 1 (Win 10)

Hopefully there are only the following errors:
- LEGO Dish Inverted Ø80 (10 x 10) with Decoration #59240 replaced by #50990
- No display
- No minfigs Minifigs included as good as possible. Patterned parts are not fully correct.
- No stickers
- A few connections are not tight. They do not snap accurately. Due to the tolerance you can make these connections snap easily in real life. But unfortunately the virtual model is extremely rigid. So I had to optimise these connections as good as possible.

According to the instructions there are 96 main steps and around 800 sub steps. The mpd-file contains 191 submodels.

Bendend version of 47996 Lattice 3X28M: I modified the official LDraw file 47990 to create the bended version. The mpd-file directly contains all required files.

I'm updating an old POV-Ray include file for the color numbers in LDConfig. I need someone with a better eye for color to compare to the LUGNET color guide.

Color 28, Dark Tan
My best guess http://guide.lugnet.com/color/?q=OY13

Color 29, Bright Pink
http://guide.lugnet.com/color/?q=R40

Color 30, Medium Lavender
http://guide.lugnet.com/color/?q=VB21

Color 31, Lavender
http://guide.lugnet.com/color/?q=VB50

The last 3 were introduced since this guide was created so the best approximation is good enough for me. I did my best eyeballing it.

Hello,

I am back with some tests to render LDRAW-models. I am stucked with the set 8653 Enzo Ferrari I found here:
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=213769

The renderings look correct. Theres a .mpd file to download.

LDView and MLCad are reporting errors.

The problem is that there are missing parts:
X783.DAT
X311.DAT
X310.DAT
X312.DAT
X346.DAT

Some models are also not correctly placed/rotated:

BTW: The model can't be loaded into LDCad 1.4. No idea why.

Thank you very much for your time and help to investigate and fix the issue.

Hi all,

How do I create, curve and position a string 11L in LDCad?
http://brickset.com/parts/6037558

I am wrestling with it and cannot get a hold of things.
Thanks.

LDCad 1.5 Beta 1a 1b is now available.

Now new features (hence the 'a'), I've mostly fixed a stability issues and restored some features which stopped working due to all the internal changes made for the source window.

Hopefully this version restores the 1.4b stability while adding the full 1.5 feature set.

This version also includes new snap info for many parts, I've updated all '100% info' bin groups in regards of the 2015-01 LDraw update.

It also includes snap info files donated by Philippe Hurbain, Milan Vančura and Jason McReynolds. Thanks to all

For beta 2 I'm hoping to add some minor useful features, I'm thinking about model duplication with an optional mirroring feature (only a dumb positional flip for now). And maybe a similar flipping feature for selections. If anyone has additional (simple) feature requests let me know.

As always the latest version is at:
http://www.melkert.net/LDCad/download

I've also been working on the definitive 1.5 mascot, but it isn't ready yet. Can you guess which model it is

   

edit: I've uploaded 1.5 Beta 1b it addresses a potentially very annoying bug concerning file reloading.
