  Adding Custom Sizes To Lsynth Parts In Lpub
Posted by: Alasdair Ryan - 2012-04-27, 11:57 - Forum: LDraw File Processing and Conversion - Replies (2)

Hello all i have made some files that contain custom Lsynth parts, and woundered if there is any way of adding a measurement/size of part to the instruction step of that part and also to the parts list?

Can someone also tell me if the new Ldraw installer has the new small turntable and the technic mini linear actuator part's in it?

I have attached a quick Lsynth file above.

Maybe you'd like to look at some images
which I had used during the 12V train parts creation for parts update 2012-01.
I finally also got myself a brickshelf folder...

  STEP files into LDraw
Posted by: Dorota Sauer - 2012-04-25, 20:56 - Forum: LDraw File Processing and Conversion - Replies (12)

Hi Everyone! I guess simple convertion of .STEP file into .dat is not possible, so what I need is advise on what is the best way to translate it.

I have a model of a LEGO part made in CAD. It is an original base plate (no studs, only holes, designed for easier building of robots) so I didn't find a ready part in libraries. I wanted to make the plate available in LDraw for everyone to see it, play with it, maybe give feedback on its functionality. Maybe some of you already saw the project, and has an idea how to solve it: http://www.minutebot.com/minuteproducts/base/

If you know how I can do it, it would be a great help to me.

  50747pb02 Windscreen 6 x 6 x 3 Canopy Half Sphere with Dual 2 Fingers and Republic Attack Gunship Pattern
Posted by: Daniel Goerner - 2012-04-23, 6:32 - Forum: Part Requests - No Replies

Can someone provide me detailed pictures of this part? The set 7676 was delivered with two versions of this part: 50747pb02 and 50747pb05. My Set contained 50474pb05 and I can't find detailed pictures of pb02 to see the difference between these parts. I was working on the pattern and wanted to do both versions, so any help would be appreciated.

  Please help: I'm new to this and can't find the parts...
Posted by: Jon H - 2012-04-22, 10:02 - Forum: Help - Replies (4)

Hi,

I just downloaded LDRAW and MLCAD today to try it out.

A couple of questions:

1.
I can't find this part when using MLCAD;
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=88930&in=S
Slope, Curved 2 x 4 x 2/3 No Studs with Bottom Tubes


2.
I'm not sure if I have the latest and full parts available...
Here is what I think I did:
The first parts list I downloaded "complete.exe" was approx 5mb (I think) and it seemed really basic.
i followed the instructions and used the command prompt etc.

then I downloaded another one, "complete.zip" and it was 17.1 mb approx... I think I installed it, i extracted it into the ldraw folder... it asked if I wanted to replace some files... i said yes.
But the parts seem the same on MLCAD... is there another step i've missed?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Jon

  Fabuland instructions: which font?
Posted by: Steffen - 2012-04-21, 22:48 - Forum: Rendering Techniques - Replies (3)

Does anybody reading this
happen to know the Font name which LEGO has used in their Fabuland instruction booklets?

I've found the ones below so far,
but I feel they do not match exactly, and I would like to know more or better matching fonts.

"Letraset Bramley Light"

  Batman Minifigure with Jetpack
Posted by: Reuben Pearse - 2012-04-19, 21:19 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (10)

Hi there,

Following a few sales of my Star Wars Minifigures 3D collection on TurboSquid, I'm now working on a Batman model. The model is based on the minifigure featured in set 6858.

Using the following Flickr photos as a reference...
http://www.flickr.com/photos/33917494@N06/6605210139/
http://www.flickr.com/photos/[email protected]/

....I've modeled and rendered the following images:
http://www.pearse.co.uk/lego/images/batman_3d_1024.png
http://www.pearse.co.uk/lego/images/batm...k_back.png

The only missing parts on the model are:
1) The grey "cap" piece on the top of the jetpack - this is referenced as part 4655241 in the Lego instructions.
2) The "batman claw" - referenced as part 4636105

Is anyone working on these?

I've also created some other resources based on this model:
http://www.pearse.co.uk/lego/colouring/batman/
http://www.pearse.co.uk/lego/worksheets/...batman.pdf

You can find a copy of the LDraw file here:
http://www.pearse.co.uk/lego/models/batman

You can find the Star Wars Minifigures here:
http://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/3d-d...del/650824

Bye for now

Reuben
