I started these programs a few months ago, but it took me some time to iron out some bugs... and ages to be motivated enough to write documentation! Neither of them will revolutionize the art of LDraw parts authoring, but they can be helpful nonetheless!

As usual, documentation, source code and Windows executables are available (links below).

Enjoy!

Rectifier is a useful tool to consolidate triangles into quads and to keep file size down, but doing so make further improvements to the file more difficult. Unrectifier does the opposite, it expands Rect primitives into quads + lines, and split quads into triangle pairs. By default Unrectifier operates on the whole file, but it can also limit itself to key-colored elements. With some limitations, it is also able to update condlines around modified areas.


Flipper allows to flip a pair of triangles (change abc + SPAM CONTENT into abd + dca). This helps in some areas of "organic" meshes (eg. hair pieces) to make them smoother (or on the contrary to create a crease to add an edge line). Flipper operates on colored pairs of triangles, thus allows the user to choose the triangle pairs to swap. With some limitations, it is also able to update condlines around modified areas.

Hej,
today I was visiting my local LEGO Dealer and got some time to look into his box for rims. I found some rims of set 41999. Okay, that's nothing special, but while doing second look, I found this:

[sub]Please note, that the rim on the right side is correct. The rim on the left side is a misprint - the other side of this rim is not printed.[/sub]

:-D

Hi

I have just found out that the part 98284 has an error. The center is show way of to the side.
I have just downloaded the newest complete.zip file from this site and the file included has the same error.
I have manually corrected this on the .dat file.
But when i start both ldview and lpub the bot still show the part with the center at a wrong position.
Does anyone know how i get lpub and ldview to show the part correct?

I am usingMLCad to create my train and I created a parts list, but they are grouped by sub models, I think this is not easy to use, can I get a fll parts list without grouped?

I export a LDD file to ldd file then open it in MLCad, but there is a BOM at last page, I didn't insert BOM, how can I remove this BOM?

There has been several questions been made in the past for this theme.

The attached file is a pdf file zipped.

The file is taken from this link.

In my last project I used this quite well. The decision which of the two sets of values should be used I simply add the 3 abs values for each set and take the lower sum set.

I'll leave this here for future use of the community.

Hey everyone!

We wanted to let you know that we'll be hosting a "Design your own Lego character" contest this weekend! We call these three day, fast modeling contests "Sketchfasts."

If you're not familiar with us, Sketchfab is a web platform for publishing and sharing your interactive 3D models. Basically, we're trying to build a Youtube for 3D files.

Here is the link to the blog post about the contest - it should be really fun, and we want you guys to get as creative as possible with your characters. Props are more than welcome!

Cheers,

The Sketchfab Team

Enjoy!
