I got an error in SR 3D Builder that is a bit mysterious to me. It says:

Found 1 parts duplicated in the model file. These parts need to be removed to load selected model. Proceed?

My problem with it is that it provides little feedback. Which part is being removed? Which is the other part? Why can't it continue?

This is very vague.

[edit]

Also, the model I am working on (Datsville) has 170,000 parts. I do not want to click through every one of these errors.

I installed the All-In-One-Installer and it also installed LDView's plugin that shows thumbnails in Windows Explorer. How do I turn just that bit off without uninstalling everything? Thanks.

Hello All,

I've found some semi serious bugs in the 1.2 version, so I've decided to release a bugfix only update.

So no new features only bugfixes in this one.


You can also keep an eye on my LDCad youtube channel playlist. It features tutorial and demonstrations, I will try to add clips to it now and then. If you would like something demonstrated etc just ask.


You'll find all available versions at the usual place:
LDCad home page

Any questions and suggestions are welcome.

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.

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.

Anybody here going to (or already is at) LW this year? I'll be there on MINDSTORMS booth from Sunday on...

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?

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.
