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.

Hello,

I'm at my wits end trying to figure out what is going on. I'm having errors with the latest 2013_1 partslist file update. I've gone as far as uninstalling EVERY ldraw file, part, and AI and reinstalled from scratch...same problem. I've exported the file from MLCad to POVRay via LDView with LGEO .xml reference. If I don't allow primitive substitution, it doesn't error, but this makes for much grainier surfaces too.

The error I get is in "LDX_s_slash_86500s01_dot_dat_in_part" definition, and specifically, it is complaining about an undefined "LDX_48_slash_1_dash_12ri38_dot_dat_in_part". If I comment this out to see if that is all, it seems there are MULTIPLE issues with the *ri.dat includes???

Help!?!?

i noticed that part s\55706s01 is on the PT for quite some time.
