| [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.

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

Can this part connect flush on a baseplate? I am looking at the bottom and there does not seem to be room for every stud. Compare to part 3943a.dat which does connect well on a baseplate (I think).

Go to https://github.com/Jeremy1980/licreator and try new release. This compilation is under Python v2.7.8 and newest PyOpenGL libraries.
Changes related to previous 2.0.016 version Wrote::: Can change layout orientation for selected pages in one time
:: Can remove empty|blank pages automatically
:: Can expand only children of selected node in tree view
:: Change tool bar icon size to 18 pixels
:: Re-grouped tool bar actions
:: Lock icon use SmoothTransformation and ItemIgnoresTransformations flags now
:: Layout orientation actually remember in undo stack
:: For more look into changelog.txt
Usage of this version of build.py - windows|OSX only:
On windows use now PYTHONHOME environment variable, and probably you can build this with command line outside Eclipse.
In example put as value 'C:\Python 27' for %PYTHONHOME%.
In next download and install Microsoft Visual C++ Compiler for Python 2.7
Install Python 2.7.8 and dependencies:- setuptools-18.3.1
- pyinstaller-2.1
- PIL-1.1.7.win32-py2.7
- PyOpenGL-3.1.0.win32
- PyQt4-4.10-gpl-Py2.7-Qt4.8.4-x32
- pywin32-219.win32-py2.7
and run build.py. Any response is welcome.
I need some from this forum with more that basic knowledge about LINUX operating system who test his just run LIC.py and return result.
