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
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.
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.
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'.
