Hi! I'm new to LDraw and trying to get it set-up on my iMac. I've downloaded the complete library, but receive an error page when I click on the link to download software in Step 5.

What shall I do next?

i reward 50 Euro for the one that can add the following parts to MLCAD

Trans-Clear Door 1 x 4 x 6 with Stud Handle 60616 (Multi Colours possible)
Dark Bluish Gray Tile 2 x 2 with Computer Monitor Pattern 1, with White Power Magnus Forsberg
Switch Icon 3068bpb058 the 4 difrent computer monitors similar as well..
Reddish Brown Container, Bucket 1 x 1 x 1 95343 (Multi Colours possible) Magnus Forsberg
Dark Tan Container, Bucket 1 x 1 x 1 Handle 95344 (Multi Colours possible) Magnus Forsberg
how ever the container not show in MLCad ?

next
92589 Bar 1 x 4 x 6 with End Protrusions

added
Windscreen 2 x 6 x 2 Train with Glass 6567 (Multi Colours possible)

i keep waiting till these items are added and after 2 years i think i have to
set a price on this and beg someone to add this

i have lego i design models till now i have kept a low profile dont feel a shamed to claim your reward you can order for 50 euro on lego parts or a model or recieve 50 euro Magnus Forsberg

donating to this website i will do as well but that have nothing to do with getting the parts done

thanks in advance
Marcel

I've written my own simple LDraw exporter for Blender (Link). And as a way of testing it, I modeled the construction worker torso from the Lego Movie.
Maybe someone is interested in it. Feel free to use it as you see fit.

I just noticed that James website as linked here (http://silo.riv.csu.edu.au/~jjessiman/lego/index.html) returns a 403 error. Fortunately it's still possible to recover things through the internet archive...

Bricksmith 3.0 adds the following features:

• LSynth integration with real-time, drag-and-drop constraint editing for creating flexible hoses, chains, bands, etc.
  
• Curved parts are drawn with smooth shading
  
• Can change spin center to center of selection
  
• “Walk-Through” camera mode lets you view your model from the inside.
  
• Search feature to select all parts of a particular color or name
  
• Translucent parts correctly show the model behind them. (The interiors of translucent parts may not be rendered correctly.)
  
• Performance improvements for rendering models with large numbers of parts.
  
• “Insert Related” command automatically inserts selected parts that match the selection, e.g. drawers for a cupboard, tires for a wheel, window glass for a window frame.
  
• Split Step command
  

• Fixed modifier shortcuts for mouse tools not working after invoking a contextual menu on 10.8+
  

• Bricksmith comes pre-packaged with the LSynth command-line tool, the configuration files, and the unofficial parts.
  
• When you add or edit an LSynth element and constraints, Bricksmith automatically calls LSynth with just the element you are working on, parses the synthesized result, and inserts it into your model
  
• The original constraints are preserved in such a way that they are still editable. Every time you make a change, Bricksmith automatically deletes the stale synthesis and inserts a new one.
  
• When you deselect an LSynth element in Bricksmith, the constraints vanish, and all you see is the synthesized hose.
  
• If you select the hose again, it becomes translucent and the constraints are revealed again, ready for you to edit them.
  
• If you open a file with just constraints, Bricksmith automatically generates the synthesized output for you. But it's completely non-destructive; the constraints are always preserved for you to edit them later.
  

Hey,

a demo of the new game "LEGO® The Hobbit™" is available for PC. You can download it from http://videogames.lego.com/en-us/lego-th...o-download.

I just completed and uploaded LDCad 1.3a.

It's mostly a maintenance update changes include:

• Minor bugfixes
  
• Part bin tweaks (added technic motor and mindstorms groups)
  
• New part snapping info for panels, motors and mindstorms
  
• Templates for eletric cables
  

here's a small teaser

I'm looking for a solution to generate a html parts list of a model. LDView would be perfect, if only it could generate local thumbnails... Thanks in advance for any solution

Hi everyone,

Rolf Redford has recently notified me that he's finished a code tidy up of his LdrawToObj tool.

The latest version of his code is now available under GPLv3 and is available here:
https://github.com/rredford/LdrawToObj

I haven't had a chance to try this out, but if anyone gets a chance and has any comments then please reply to this thread.

Bye for now
