A friend who uses Bricksmith sent me a mpd, that I returned him after some changes using MLCad. After that, Bricksmith complained that "submodels are not available". A check of MPD before and after my changes, showed that there was a capitalization issue.
Here is the header of one submodel:

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone would like to make part 64699? Of course in unfolded state.


Thanks in advance

Hi,

I'm relatively new to making instructions with LPub. I did some small models, but nothing more.
I'm now working on a far bigger project for someone else (it's a Technic model with +/- 2200 parts).

But, I discovered a "problem"; multi-part parts (or whatever they're called) like pf-motors. LPub shows all the different parts from the (in this case) xl motor in the parts list and BOM. How can I avoid this? I just want a normal one-piece motor in the parts list and BOM?

I know it's possible, because I've seen it many times in other instructions.


Thanks in advance!

Somebody have old version of Ldraw? L3P not working with new - it need some files deleted from new version.
LDView much more bad - it can't use LGEO when converting models to POV format and have too little settings.

Hello,

Just started using the tools and the forum. Wanted to model my old Snack Bar (675) and have a nice 3D model of it

Using MLCAD I could find the Snack Bar sign (part 676p01) but couldn't find:
- 973px3c01 Minifig Torso Chef with 6 Buttons, Short Red Neckerchief Pattern / White Arms / Yellow Hands
- 973pb69c01 Minifig Torso Town Blue V-Neck, Pockets and Buttons Pattern / Blue Arms / Yellow Hands
- 3008pb13 Brick 1 x 8 with Red 'SNACK BAR' Pattern
- 3004pb05 Brick 1 x 2 with Ice Cream Pattern

Does someone know if they exist or could be created? By the way, how easy is to create a new part .dat file? I would love creating those!

Thanks,
Caio

During the AIOI, PovRay is installed and a post-install patch gets applied to povray.ini and pvengine.ini to add the LGEO bits, but to find those files, only the C: drive is searched, even if Povray is installed on another drive (R: in this case).

I would like to share a browser based renderer that I have been working on and would like the input of people on how to deploy it.
I am most concerned about copyright issues. The way it is setup right now is that you can only view 5-6 files that I have found on the net (and dont have copyright :-)

First download this simple text file http://www.virtuality.gr/AGG/EaZD-Lego/lego.scene that contains the scene description in XML format and http://www.virtuality.gr/AGG/EaZD-Lego/scene.xml which describes the options you can have in a scene file.
Then visit http://www.virtuality.gr/AGG/EaZD-Lego/index.html and drag the lego.scene file in the rectangle, wait a little (my server is not very fast) and you will see the rendering of the model.
I have tested both Firefox 20.0 and Chrome 26.0. Chrome needs the command line option --allow-file-access-from-files before it starts. In my tests I have found Chrome to be about 20% faster than Firexox.

You can uncomment and view any of the models in the scene file. In XML this '<!--' opens a comment and this '-->' closes one.

The reason you can only see these examples is because I also have them on my server. But as you can put your own models in the scene file I would have no idea which model it is since I cannot read from your hard drive.

This is where I am asking for your input. The only way I can think of, is if you drop on my server two files. One the scene description (.scene) and one for the lego file (note that more than one ldr file might be referenced inside the .scene file). But that would also mean that you are giving me your LDraw file creation. If nobody minds that, I can go ahead and implement it. Other design suggestions are welcome.

Anyway I enjoyed implementing parts of the LDraw spec, specially the nerve-racking BFC :-)

PS. Conditional lines are not supported.

Hello,
Does somebody know if it's possible to write a word on a brick in MLCad (like if I use a brick with a sticker or an engraved brick).
Does a plug'in exit to do that ?

Thanks in advance,
Fabrice
