Since we had only 5 confirmed nominees, no election is necessary.

Therefore, the 2015/2016 LDraw.org Steering Committee [1] is:

Chris Dee
Philippe Hurbain
Orion Pobursky
Max Martin Richter
Willy Tschager

[1] Try not to confuse the LDraw.org Steering Committee (SteerCo) with the LDraw.org Standards Board (LSB). The Steering Committee sets the course for the LDraw Organization while the Standards Board deals with the LDraw File Format.

Congratulations to the new and a huge thank you to the outgoing members!

Hello,

Elves are out in the wild and come with a number of patterned parts, now where to put them?

4x (Castle)
Ax (Adventurers)
Ex (empty till now...)

What do you think is best?

I am trying to make a city layout. I am having trouble adding the Fire Brigade MPD file to my layout. I try to do it and only half the parts transfer and the building is all messed up. Can someone give me some pointers as to how to do this? My layout is an LDR file.

Thank you!

Andrew

Hi everyone,

I've recently got into Warhammer 40K and was looking to re-use some of the Lego we have in the house to build a 40K tank. Anything that is generally representive of a tank would be good. Here are some cool tanks that I found:

Ideally I need some basic building instructions.

Thanks in advance

Below is a snapshot of some modifications I'm doing to LPub - just for me but I'll be happy to share if anyone is interested :-)

The ability to manage source (i.e. cut and paste step and subfile content) is very useful - especilly when preparing instructions. For example, LPub does not handle some LDCad template content very well so it is sometimes necessary to move content around.

As you can see, I've added a 3D viewer to visualize steps and insert the ROTSTEP meta in order to optimize positioning the step for best instruction presentation. Notice, the cut, paste, rebuild capabilities in the source editor which are very useful.

You can also see in the snapshot the fade step functionality I developed allowing the user to fade previous steps in the model giving another capability to better visualize instructions. For this feature, it is sometimes helpful to change static colored parts (e.g. shock absorber spring and strut) in the source in order to properly fade the assembly.

   

Best,
Trevor

Fabuland models...

Made some real progress this weekend so I would like to post some previews in order to gather some feedback.

Main reason for this is me not being completely sure on the details / behavior of the new LDraw source code window. So any suggestions / feedback on that would be very much appreciated.

Here's a screen shot of the 1.5 gui while using undocked windows and the new source window.

And here's one with everything docked (notice the second part bin).

The source window is read only at the moment but in the very least I want it to be able to control selections. And maybe manage third party meta's (e.g. LPUB)?

Any thoughts?
