Hi, is it possible to put a background image on MLCad views ? It would be useful for tracing an object while keeping proportions and such, as in many 3d editors (see for example blender).

I am still discovering the programs that are present for all users.
Recently i read a lot of the program quad2dat.
But i am unable to find/download this.
Does anyone else know a solution to have a picture of a part and convert this to MLcad usable file?

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,

Thank you,

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 .
