Hi (again) all, people.

I'm still working on a simple Java renderer for LDraw models, and now I'm a little confused about part/filename/subfile/"0 FILE" MPD extension/etc. for case sensitivity.

- In "File Format 1.0.2" there are no statements about case-sensitivity for file names or line type "1". Only in "Direct color" ("hex values must be uppercase") and "File Type" (case insensitive).

- In "File Format Restrictions for the Official Library" under "LDraw Files/File Name" it states "While both upper and lower case letters are permitted in filenames, filenames are case-insensitive. Currently, all official parts are issued with upper-case only names." But in "complete.zip" official library all part/subpart/primitive names are lower-case!

- Zip files are case sensitive (and so are developer libraries to access Zip files), and when extract files in a case-sensitive file system use original-case filenames. Search file names in ZIP file is case sensitive, so it is important to know how a part/subpart/primitive file is named in official library: 3070b.DAT, 3070B.dat or 3070B.DAT are different.

- Looking at "MPD Language Extension", filename case isn't specified. But in a forum message (here) it is clearly stated that "And MPD file lookup probably shouldn't be case-sensitive, because no other filename lookups in LDraw files are case-sensitive".

So, my questions:
- Can I assume that in MPD-type file all internal references to sub-file can be case insensitive?
- Can I assume that part/subpart/primitives file names in Official library are all lowercase?
- LDR-type file with external reference to sub-file needs to be case-sensitive, because now almost all filesystem are case-sensitive. So, can I consider external referenze to sub-file are case-sensitive?

Thank you for your great work on LDraw libraries!

PS: when my Java viewer is ready I'll share it with you.

Hi.
I'll like to request this part 99563 Minifig, Utensil Gold Ingot (Bar)

Hey,

I am working on my application movie for a media-university right now (like the new LEGO Movie) and I need some missing parts.

64655 - Boat Hull Brick 16 x 10 x 3
64651 - Boat Hull Brick 16 x 13 x 2
47404 - Boat Bow Brick 10 x 12 x 1 Open

I know these parts have been requested already, but there is still no usable version of them. It's realy important for me to have these parts and I hope I can get some help here.

greetings Alex

See title

There's one in the parts tracker but apparently it's still needs work (that was in 2012 though)

If someone could create the minifig sai weapon (98139) I'd greatly appreciate it.

I'm willing to pay whoever can get this done fairly soon.

Hi Guys,

i would like to ask if someone could review the changes for http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cgi?s=3626bp05. I would like to have see this certified, so I could use this one as a base for a new pattern.

Thanks in Advance

I've encountered a very strange bug in LDCad. First, a picture:



See the piece I have selected? It got shorter! This happened when I rotated the piece along its long axis. As I did this I could see the piece shrink in length!

I'm not sure exactly how to replicate the bug but it has happened on more than one occasion with other pieces as well. It seems to have something to do with different grid orientations and hiding of pieces. Unhiding everything fixed the problem (although the warped piece remained warped. At this moment that's the most information I can give.

Very wierd.

Hi all.

This is my first message, and I apologize in advance if this isn't the right section.

I'm experimenting on rendering LDraw parts and models in Java, and in an LDR model I found a part in latest official part library (2014-01) that use this color id: 391.
I can't find it in LDConfig.ldr, and I haven't found any reference to this color code.
So, part uses this color:
973psk.dat (for sub-part s/973pskb.dat) in row 19
I found a sub-part that uses this color, too:
s/3068s101.dat in rows 39, 51, 52


Thank you for your work on LDraw part library.

Hi all,
I have published a few video tutorials showing how to work on LDraw meshes with Meshmixer. See them here:

Enjoy!

Based on the current discussion in the forum I updated PrimGen2.

I made already some tests, but as you surely know some bugs like to stay until they are discovered.

So please report any issue as answer to this post and I keep PrimGen2 alive and running.

You can download the current version at http://ldraw.heidemann.org/index.php?page=primgen2
