I just released a new version of LETGUI.
Flipper and Unrectifier are now supported.
The full installer now includes also version 1.4 of Edger2.
Please leave your comments for this version in this thread. Thanks.

Hi everybody,
here is another update of my SR 3D Builder.
It is a bit long since my last post on this forum and a lot of new functions have been added.
Here are the most significative. For a complete list, please refer to my application history web page
Download as usual from http://sr3dbuilder.altervista.org/
Addictions:
A lot of enhancements in selection copy. Some limitation with unregistered version.
it is recommended to look at the videos for new features instructions
- the mirror copy selection feature
- Selection can now be easily duplicate in a rectangular array region or just its perimeter
- Creation of regular polygons based on your current selection and two connection points
- Creation of star based shapes based on a selection and a center rotation point
- Support for Mindstorm cables
- Support for Power Function cables (still some little bug in the shape)

Custom RGB colors |

I'm trying to find documentation that explains the encoding of custom colors.
http://www.ldraw.org/article/218.html#colours
The above link explains that custom ("direct") colors are defined as 0x2RRGGBB.
But if in MLCad I choose R=64 G=128 B=192 (which should be 0x24080C0) it shows in MLCad/LDView as 0x0455548C and is stored in the .ldr in decimal as 72701068 (which is 0x0455548C).
It seems to be encoded, but where's the specification of the encoding?

New LDraw tools for parts authors: Unrectifier and Flipper |

I started these programs a few months ago, but it took me some time to iron out some bugs... and ages to be motivated enough to write documentation! Neither of them will revolutionize the art of LDraw parts authoring, but they can be helpful nonetheless!
As usual, documentation, source code and Windows executables are available (links below).
Enjoy!

Rectifier is a useful tool to consolidate triangles into quads and to keep file size down, but doing so make further improvements to the file more difficult. Unrectifier does the opposite, it expands Rect primitives into quads + lines, and split quads into triangle pairs. By default Unrectifier operates on the whole file, but it can also limit itself to key-colored elements. With some limitations, it is also able to update condlines around modified areas.

Flipper allows to flip a pair of triangles (change abc + SPAM CONTENT into abd + dca). This helps in some areas of "organic" meshes (eg. hair pieces) to make them smoother (or on the contrary to create a crease to add an edge line). Flipper operates on colored pairs of triangles, thus allows the user to choose the triangle pairs to swap. With some limitations, it is also able to update condlines around modified areas.

Hi
I have just found out that the part 98284 has an error. The center is show way of to the side.
I have just downloaded the newest complete.zip file from this site and the file included has the same error.
I have manually corrected this on the .dat file.
But when i start both ldview and lpub the bot still show the part with the center at a wrong position.
Does anyone know how i get lpub and ldview to show the part correct?
