  Tools capable of editing Datsville?
Posted by: Michael Horvath - 2013-10-19, 18:00 - Forum: General LDraw.org Discussion - Replies (5)

I need another 3D editor besides MLCAD that is capable of editing Datsville. I usually use MLCAD but I need to switch to an overhead angled view since the terrain I created for the town is getting in the way of the frontal and side views which is making things difficult. Any suggestions? I've never tried anything beyond LEdit and MLCAD.

  Split heightfield?
Posted by: Michael Horvath - 2013-10-19, 15:35 - Forum: LDraw File Processing and Conversion - No Replies

Does anyone know of a good way to split my mesh/model into sections so that I can choose to disable rendering of individual pieces?

I want to split the mesh into 8x8 baseplates instead of the 64x64 original model.

Can anyone tell me why 3DWin fails to properly convert this file to LDR?

It shows up fine in meshlab.

Has anyone played this? Is it multiplayer only? Is the terrain destructible?

  Conditional lines on part cylinders
Posted by: Ronald Vallenduuk - 2013-10-17, 6:58 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (2)

Why do the part cylinders (n-fcyli.dat) have a conditional line at their edge? One control point lies inside the part but the second one lies outside. In a lot of cases that outside one will be wrong. When it is you have to add another conditional line with the correct control points but that means you have two lines in the same position.
I guess this is one of those things that are now impossible to fix because of the sheer number of parts you'd have to update.

  Rubber bands
Posted by: Roland Melkert - 2013-10-10, 21:06 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (12)

I'm working on a generic rubber band template for LDCad 1.3 but noticed there are no rubber band parts in the official library, so I'm a bit unclear on the dimensions and shape to use for it.

I noticed most technic poly wheels have different bevels, yet the only part name reference I could find state the band is 'square'.

Any pointers from would be appreciated.

I'm using this for now:

ldcRubberBandSeg.dat

Code:
1 16 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 2 box4o8a.dat
1 16 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 2 ldcConRect-4-4.dat
1 16 0 1 0 2 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 2 ldcConRect-4-4.dat

ldcConRect-4-4.dat
Code:
5 24    -1  0  -1    1 0 -1    -1  1  -1   -1  -1  -1
5 24     1  0  -1    1 0  1     1  1  -1    1  -1  -1
5 24     1  0   1   -1 0  1     1  1   1    1  -1   1
5 24    -1  0   1   -1 0 -1    -1  1   1   -1  -1   1

It produces something like the attached little model.

  Lego part #3039pb45
Posted by: Ahmed Elhassan - 2013-10-10, 19:28 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (3)

Anyone know if this part, 3039pb45: Slope 45 2 x 2 with Aircraft Multiple Flight Controls Pattern exists in any of the latest part updates or is in development? I am trying to replicate/customize Lego kit #70701, Galaxy Squad Swarm Interceptor. I found most of the pieces the model uses in MLCAD. The slope on the other hand seems to be a newly developed/released part that isn't modeled in LDraw yet. I already tried several searches both in the forums and on the main LDraw site, using both the lego part number and the item number listed in the assembly instructions (6032098).

  Alignment of part 60616
Posted by: Ben Supnik - 2013-10-10, 3:49 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (12)

Hi Y'all,

I found this comment in the latest unofficial version of 60616.

0 !HELP To place the glass on 30179.dat, have it -32LDU on the X-axis
0 !HELP relative to the door to place it correctly.
0 !HELP Stud is at 57,70,3.75/-3.75

But from what I can tell, to place the part in the newer frame (60596) I need a 5 LDU Z offset. For the older frame (30179) the holes aren't drawn in and I don't have the real part to examine.

Is the help tip wrong? Am I wrong in my estimated alignment? And...is it possible that the part will change its origin before it is made official? (If I have read the tracker properly, the part has one yes vote and just needs a few more votes.)

Cheers
Ben
