  Lpub error: Mingwm10.dll not found
Posted by: Justin Major - 2012-11-20, 5:49 - Forum: LDraw File Processing and Conversion - Replies (3)

I just installed Lpub4, but when I try to open the program I get the following error:

This application has failed to start because Mingwm10.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

I tried to re-install the program but I keep getting the same error. Can anyone help me get this program working?

Thanks
Justin

  Lines not on edges
Posted by: Ignacio Fernandez Galvan - 2012-11-19, 19:15 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (8)

Is there some rule or recommendation against lines (type 2) not matching real edges of triangles or quads?

With this, I mean, for instance, lines that pass through some vertices, such as a line between (0,0,0) and (2,0,0), when the polygon's edges are (0,0,0)-(1,0,0) and (1,0,0)-(2,0,0). Or a set of lines that simply draw a figure inside a polygon.

Are these allowed or should I split the polygons or lines so that every line matches an actual polygon edge?

  Arm and hand assembly
Posted by: Ignacio Fernandez Galvan - 2012-11-18, 11:50 - Forum: Help - Replies (2)

Is this arm correctly assembled or are the parts incorrectly modelled? The hole in the arm would allow a deeper insertion of the hand, but the wrist is already touching the sleeve. And doesn't it look like there's too much wrist visible?

Version 2 of the LDraw All-In-One-Installer 2012-02, in short AIOI, has been released. It comes with:

  WebGL renderer
Posted by: Nicola - 2012-11-16, 14:58 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (150)

Hello! I'm playing with LDraw a lot lately, and i decided to implement something to display models with WebGL.
Here's the experimental results and some more information:

http://www.lugato.net/ldraw/page.html
new url: http://www.lugato.net/brigl/index.html

I think a WebGL renderer would be great to show off models on the web. No plugin, no downloads, etc.
It's very crude but it already show some models

Ideas and feedbacks are welcome Smile

  LSynth "Add Command ..." Selection Greyed Out
Posted by: rwjorgen - 2012-11-15, 17:12 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (3)

OK, I think I followed all the instructions for integrating LSynth with MLCAD; however, when I attempt to use the Extras -> LSynth -> Add Command ... menu item, the menu item is greyed out and will not let me select. So, I must have something wrong in my configuration settings.

I have the LSynth parts listed on the MLCAD part windows on the left panes. I followed all the instructions as written for integration and updating the MLCAD.ini file. (see attached)

  SteerCo Announcement: LDraw attribution and a minor change to Policies and Procedures
Posted by: Tim Gould - 2012-11-14, 20:51 - Forum: LDraw.org Announcements - No Replies

We have now added a page with code snippets to make LDraw attribution easy for software developers and websites, as required by the license for software or sites that offer the LDraw Parts Library. This is not the only way to attribute LDraw, but allows for a standardised attribution.

http://www.ldraw.org/the-ldraw-organizat...ldraw.html

To reflect this we have also made a minor change to the LDraw.org Policies and Procedures (sec 2.05) by adding a parenthetical mention. Thus

Quote:We would appreciate that the LDraw logo, as well as a link to the website are included and possibly featured prominently.
has been changed to
Quote:We would appreciate that the LDraw logo, as well as a link to the website are included and possibly featured prominently (for an example of how this can be done please see the "Link to LDraw" page on the LDraw website).

  New to Lpub and sub models not loading
Posted by: Miguel Valenzuela - 2012-11-14, 7:33 - Forum: LDraw File Processing and Conversion - Replies (12)

HI Everyone, this is my first post on this forum.
I am new to Lpub and am trying to figure out how all this works.
I have made a model in MLCAD 3 and am using an older version of LPUB and POVRay and running windows XP.
First of all, can you recommend places to download the latest version of Lpub that is simple to get to?
I feel it's hard to find what the latest version is and also to get it to work.
Second, I first had problems with the parts list. Lpub would return an error saying it couldn't find the sub model so I added the name of the sub model to the parts list to get around this.
So I got it to render the initial parts but it hangs up when it gets to the first sub model and can't find it.
I know there was a recent post about this but I didn't get a clear answer on what I should do.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Miguel
Oh, and last, what is the easiest way to publish instructions, is there another program instead of Lpub?

  New Lead Theme "How To"
Posted by: Michael Heidemann - 2012-11-13, 19:08 - Forum: Website Suggestions/Requests/Discussion - Replies (1)

I would like to see a new lead theme where everybody can send his How to's to.

Here an example:

The first line should be the subject/headline:

How to fix a portion of wrong winding in a file with DATHeader

If you have for example a file where at some point the winding is changed:

Go to the Editor Tab. Mark the lines between both BFC statements. Click the right mouse button and choose from the context menu „Reverse Winding“.

You will got the following code:

Now hit the "commit code changes" button. You can now save the file.

Finished.
