Hello! I'm playing with LDraw a lot lately, and i decided to implement something to display models with WebGL.
Here's the experimental results and some more information:

http://www.lugato.net/ldraw/page.html
new url: http://www.lugato.net/brigl/index.html

I think a WebGL renderer would be great to show off models on the web. No plugin, no downloads, etc.
It's very crude but it already show some models

Ideas and feedbacks are welcome

OK, I think I followed all the instructions for integrating LSynth with MLCAD; however, when I attempt to use the Extras -> LSynth -> Add Command ... menu item, the menu item is greyed out and will not let me select. So, I must have something wrong in my configuration settings.

I have the LSynth parts listed on the MLCAD part windows on the left panes. I followed all the instructions as written for integration and updating the MLCAD.ini file. (see attached)

We have now added a page with code snippets to make LDraw attribution easy for software developers and websites, as required by the license for software or sites that offer the LDraw Parts Library. This is not the only way to attribute LDraw, but allows for a standardised attribution.

To reflect this we have also made a minor change to the LDraw.org Policies and Procedures (sec 2.05) by adding a parenthetical mention. Thus

Quote:We would appreciate that the LDraw logo, as well as a link to the website are included and possibly featured prominently.

HI Everyone, this is my first post on this forum.
I am new to Lpub and am trying to figure out how all this works.
I have made a model in MLCAD 3 and am using an older version of LPUB and POVRay and running windows XP.
First of all, can you recommend places to download the latest version of Lpub that is simple to get to?
I feel it's hard to find what the latest version is and also to get it to work.
Second, I first had problems with the parts list. Lpub would return an error saying it couldn't find the sub model so I added the name of the sub model to the parts list to get around this.
So I got it to render the initial parts but it hangs up when it gets to the first sub model and can't find it.
I know there was a recent post about this but I didn't get a clear answer on what I should do.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Miguel
Oh, and last, what is the easiest way to publish instructions, is there another program instead of Lpub?

I would love to have the x120 shovel part for use in the 5510 set, can't find it anywhere though.

edit oeps, found it

http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cg...s/x556.dat

but it looks wrong. I do own 5510 but it's in storage together with all my kid years lego, so i have to dig for the part. But if pictures or something would help just give a yell.

I would like to see a new lead theme where everybody can send his How to's to.

Here an example:

The first line should be the subject/headline:

How to fix a portion of wrong winding in a file with DATHeader

If you have for example a file where at some point the winding is changed:

On the parts tracker whenever I click on "view diff" my browser (Google Chrome) downloads a file called "ptdatdiff.cgi" which i can't open. I know chrome is compatible with .CGIs because it had to use ptdetail.cgi to get to the "view diff" link. Anybody know why this might be happening?

Could it be possible to get absolute time stamp on messages in addition to relative time stamp ("2 days ago")? It would be easier to use to reference things (eg. "when was this version of xxx program published?")

Bricksmith 2.6.1 adds the following features:

• Automatically checks for and installs application updates
  

• Fixed texture search path (now correctly searches ldraw/parts/textures)
  
• Fixed issues with drag handles inside textures
  
• Fixed object selection inside textures
  

The electric plugs of the 4.5V and 12V era are nearly 99% completed.
They currently all sit on the Parts Tracker:

However, there are a small handful of problems to be solved,
and I would like to ask for help, advice and/or a caliper in this case,
as I am not at my LEGO collection currently (sadly).

PROBLEM A: Plugs Intersect with Parts in Assemblies
Here's an example:
