  Creating donor parts for LDCad flexible parts
Posted by: Roland Melkert - 2012-12-13, 23:25 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (2)

I'm still working on the flexible part support in the next LDCad version, the system is setup in such away you can use pretty much any existing LDraw file as a donor (e.g. pneumatic segment etc).

But there are many flexible parts that don't have suitable donor parts in the existing official library. To supply non expert users with an easy to use 'out of the box' flexible part library I will need to create a collection of additional donor files.

So I was hoping if there's someone interested in helping me create these files. Some are easy like the 'technic axle flexible' those are pretty much just subsections of e.g. 32199.dat (caps and two different segments).

Others need some more thought like suitable segments for 'hose flexible', the existing ones in the official library are only useable for 'reference' placement like LSynth does.

I'm also thinking about supporting very weird things like bendable technic bricks (a real 16x1 brick can easily be bend 1 or 2mm), supporting this would only require a 'technic brick segment'.

There are more needed donors I'm sure, I haven't made an exact list yet. Such a list will come together on it's own when I start creating templates for all bendable stuff. If someone has such a (bendable parts) list (or want to compile one) that would be very helpful too.

So if anyone is interested please respond here or email me directly (address is on melkert.net/ldcad )

  Rectifier version 1.9
Posted by: Philippe Hurbain - 2012-12-13, 16:07 - Forum: Parts Author Tools - Replies (1)

When converting quads + lines into rect primitives, Rectifier sometimes provided values near but not equal to 1. I delved into my code and soon found a bug causing this behaviour... then found an even better method that provides tidier and more compact LDraw code.

Get new version 1.9.

Here is a sample output with Rectifier 1.8:

Code:
1 16 0 0 0 0 0 10 -1.73648 0.9848078 0 -9.84808 -1 0 rect.dat
1 16 30 -0.5 0 0 0 10 0.5 20 0 -10 1 0 rect.dat
1 16 -30 -0.555555 0 0 0 10 0.555555 0.9984604 0 -10 0.9999999 0 rect.dat
1 16 -60 -0.555555 1 0 0.005546911 10 0.555555 0.9984604 0 -10 0.9999999 -1 rect.dat
1 16 -90 -2.055555 1 0 -0.1427451 10 0.555555 0.9984604 1.5 -10 0.9999999 -1 rect.dat
1 16 -111.2485 -0.555555 -44.99815 3.827 -0.01610229 9.6215 0.555555 0.9985745 0 -9.2388 0.9999999 2.90295 rect.dat
And the output obtained with Rectifier 1.9:
Code:
1 16 0 0 0 0 0 10 -1.73648 1 0 -9.84808 0 0 rect.dat
1 16 30 -0.5 0 0 0 10 0.5 1 0 -10 0 0 rect.dat
1 16 -30 -0.555555 0 0 0 10 0.555555 1 0 -10 0 0 rect.dat
1 16 -60 -0.555555 1 0 0 10 0.555555 1 0 -10 0 -1 rect.dat
1 16 -90 -2.055555 1 0 0 10 0.555555 1 1.5 -10 0 -1 rect.dat
1 16 -111.2485 -0.555555 -44.99815 3.827 0 9.6215 0.555555 1 0 -9.2388 0 2.90295 rect.dat
In this example, LDraw code was shrunk at 37% with 1.8, it's now only 29%.
Note that there was nothing wrong with 1.8 result, as inlining back both versions gives exactly the same lines and quads.

  3404 Old Turntable
Posted by: Max Martin Richter - 2012-12-13, 0:04 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (7)

Hej,
I really hope, that the parts will leave the PT soon. But first I have a question.
Should I create a shortcut for the top part with the connector attached (all in all 4 shortcuts due to the red or black inside version) and shortcuts for top and bottom, which use the top-shortcuts and the bottom files (again 4 files) OR should I do only 4 top-bottom shortcuts with connectors.

I prefer the first point, because it's easier to handle for the users, but it feels a bit like spamming the PT for me.

/Max

  James Jessiman Memorial Award for 2012 awarded to Steffen Lohse
Posted by: Willy Tschager - 2012-12-06, 17:16 - Forum: LDraw.org Announcements - Replies (6)

The LDraw.org Steering Committee is pleased to announce that the 2012 James Jessiman Memorial Award (JJMA) recipient is Steffen Lohse (believe us, it took us ten years to get his surname out of him).

With 410 official files and contributions to the development of a further 477 official files, Steffen is among the four most prolific contributors to the LDraw Parts Library. His dedication to reviewing parts has further facilitated the addition and improvement of many other parts in the library. If you have ever submitted a part to the LDraw Parts Tracker, it is very likely that it was reviewed by Steffen at least once before it became official. If you have submitted parts on a regular basis it is also likely that you have been made familiar with his desire for perfection. Overall, the LDraw library wouldn't be what it is today without the contribution and dedication of this year's James Jessiman Memorial Award: Steffen Lohse!

More information on the JJMA can be found at:

  Light & Sound 1x2 brick with light
Posted by: Ignacio Fernandez Galvan - 2012-12-06, 9:03 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (2)

In another post, Philippe Hurbain informed me that the current 4771 (L&S 1x4 brick) part is actually made of 73664, a composite of 4771, 4772 and 4769. I've uploaded all of these to the PT.

I have also done the corresponding parts for the 1x2 brick (current 4767), but I don't know what should be the corresponding part numbers for the bottom part and the shortcut. Can anybody tell me? (I tried looking in the physical piece, but I only found the 4767 code in the top part.)

  Duplicate parts 3068bp14 and 3068bp31
Posted by: Alex Taylor - 2012-12-04, 17:56 - Forum: General LDraw.org Discussion - Replies (5)

Is it just me, or are 3068bp31 (released in March) and 3068bp14 (released in August) based on the same part...?
