  How to deal with overlapping parts
Posted by: Taylor Bangs - 2013-11-30, 18:24 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (3)

I'm in the middle of addressing Philo's comment on the lastest version of one of my parts, dealing with overlapping primtives/quads

Right now, I'm a bit stumped on how to deal with the front and back without any major proportional reworkings, if at all

Thumbs Up 4860 Plate 2 x 2 with Wheels Holder Plane
Posted by: Christoph Mierowski - 2013-11-30, 12:17 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (3)

So this part is interesting:

4860 @ peeron

4860 @ bricklink

it also appear in the part library as 4860.dat as moveto 4870.
But these part are not the same:

4860 @ peeron

4870 @ bricklink


Or are they?!

At least at bricklink they look diffrent....
and peeron don't list a 4870 part.


PS: Maybe the part request section isn't the right place for this topic, but when they are two diffrent part this is a part request for the missing one.

  LDPatternCreator - Release 1.5.0
Posted by: Nils Schmidt - 2013-11-29, 19:30 - Forum: Parts Author Tools - Replies (4)

Hey,

Here is the new stable LPC 1.5.0 release with more improvements in usability and precision, and finally, reference lines.

Please uninstall older versions of this software before installing a new version.

Change log:

New features:

  • You can draw and delete reference lines.
  • You can adjust the size / radius of ovals and circles.
  • The projection accuracy is improved.
  • Minor improvements on the LPC data integrity.
Fixed bugs from 1.4.7 and older:
  • The dimensions of the generated sticker templates are twice too big
  • Small primitive/group issues

(see full list of tickets for 1.5.0)

As always, I included a short readme.htm in the installation directory.


Cheers & Leg Godt


Nils


PS: My LDPartEditor program is still in development.

  How to use Plist meta-command
Posted by: Jono - 2013-11-24, 7:13 - Forum: General LDraw.org Discussion - Replies (2)

G'day. Not sure if it has been mentioned before but here is my question. I am currently in the middle of making instructions but dont know how to make the 3L technic universal joint appear in Lpub (instruction part count) as a whole part and not 3 seperate parts, but in Mlcad I want to bend it so to speak using the 3 parts that make it up. Could someone show me how to do this in Mlcad step by step begining to end for a novice.
Cheers Jono

  7475 BOM done with LDRAW tool support
Posted by: Joshua Delahunty - 2013-11-24, 0:39 - Forum: General LDraw.org Discussion - Replies (13)

As part of some work I'm going verifying inventories for 2005, I had reason to create a BOM (bill of materials) for 7475 Fire Hammer vs. Mutant Lizards [note: 2005 was the first year TLG started to experiment with BOMs in their building instructions -- it was limited in scope, and none of the Dino BI had this feature].

My BOM generation uses LDVIEW as its renderer, and makes extensive use of the OBI syntax extension.

Alas, I'm not using any TEXMAP parts here. I do have other BOMs that have benefited from that extension, though.

  how to do an inventory
Posted by: Michael Heidemann - 2013-11-23, 13:49 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (8)

I am thinking about an inventory function in MPDCenter.
Now I am faced the problem to decide what is a part and should be put in the inventory.

I the file is from official directory there is now doubt if it sits in /parts.

But all other files needs a decision. As there is no other strong hint on being a part or not, I think that I need all other files to handle as parts. Or I am wrong here - I feel I am wrong, but don't know why.

Please let me have some of your ideas and comments Smile

  Mystery parts
Posted by: Michael Horvath - 2013-11-22, 21:43 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (4)

These parts are being used by Datsville's petrol station. Any idea what they are for? Are there any official equivalents so I can get rid of them?

  2 wheel motorcycle parts
Posted by: Michael Horvath - 2013-11-22, 21:39 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (4)

Datsville uses the attached part files. Do they exist in the parts tracker yet? I want to use the official parts numbers instead.
