Is there a way to have a specific set of parts associated with only a specific model? I keep each LDraw model in it's own folder and would like each model to have it's own unique parts folder. A parts folder that only holds any extra parts that I am using with the model itself. Is there a way to do this?

Are there any DAT file editors that let you view 1 line at a time similar to what the original LDraw's Ledit does? The problem with Ledit is it can't handle type 5 lines if you save the file it will turn them into type 5 lines.

Hello all,

Proudly I would like to present the newest and hopefully greatest version of my LDCad application.

Major new features (compared to 1.1b)

• Flexible parts
  
• Template system
  
• Nested editing
  
• (recursive) Grouping
  

• Smoothing of parts
  
• Up to 30% increase of rendering performance.
  
• And of course many small improvements and bugfixes.

Is there a naming convention for a "complete" Motor, i.e. with cable and plug?

LEGO shows PF-motors in their building instructions complete with cables. What would be the name of such a part? Or do you think it is better to use the PLI Substitution with an custom designed part (motor + LSYNTH cable + Plug)?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts

Gerald

How can I gather the length of a synthisized part? i.e. to use only cables with a fixed length or the flex axles?

Could not find anything in neither Willi's tutorial or any other place

Thanks

Gerald

Hello,

how can i open mpd files ? To be more specific, i added files to ldview, but i only see 1 picture. There supposed to be buildinginstructions with it, but there is only "step 1 (from 1).

Thank you,

Marcello

Hi everybody.

Currently I try to build the set 4473 and now I am missing this propellor.

I have not yet looked into LDD for this part, so maybe someone can extract that part from there.
Just looked into LDD and yes, the part is there. So maybe someone can extract that part from there .

i have search the forum but cannot find the manual to upload a subpart.
when uploading its say:
Error: Invalid Name entry 'subparts01.dat'. Entry should be 's\subparts01.dat'.

how to upload a subpart to the s\ section.

Hi Y'all,

A while ago someone pointed me at the low-detail versions of the stud primitives, which cut the polygon prism side count in half.

I just want to confirm that there is no machine-readable way to determine which files are higher or lower res versions of each other, either via a meta command or a separate index file.

I am interested in coding Bricksmith to dynamically swap between high and low res primitives to improve rendering performance without having to hard code a list of "known swaps".

cheers
Ben

I have a strange problem. I have LDview installed on my work computer and it poping up with the C++ error, long after the program was closed. Last week it suddenly popped up without opening any related files. I restarted my computer and it still came up after the reboot. After closing it in Task manager it stayed away until this monday.
After loged in on the computer, it suddenly popped up with the C++ error. I found it running with 50% usage. After the second popup it was gone. First time it happen i thinked that i accsedental had clicked a lego file but not the second time.
