Hi,
I often faced the problem to get the locations of other LDraw related applications like LDView, MLCad or LDDP, just to name the most popular in the past.

It would be great if we could have one file that stores all these informations.

This information file, lets call it maybe "LDrawTools.xml" should be stored in the LDraw base folder. So if I got the information from the enviroment variable %LDRAWDIR% I also know where all the other apps are located by reading just this single file.

Any new application should add its own entry in this file once it is started the first time.

What do you think?

Suggestion for the structure of the "LDrawTools.xml":

I just released a new version of LETGUI.

Now also version 1.1 of Selector is supported.

Please leave your comments for this version in this thread. Thanks.

I just rediscovered LDCalc.





Now also this little tool has a place on my website.

Hi all,

Is the abrieviation SEOC the accepted one for "Someone Else's Own Creation"?
Or should it be SEC = Someone Else's Creation?
Thoughts?

Since we had only 5 confirmed nominees, no election is necessary.

Therefore, the 2013/2014 LDraw.org Steering Committee [1] is:

Chris Dee
Michael Heidemann
Orion Pobursky
Max Martin Richter
Willy Tschager

[1] Try not to confuse the LDraw.org Steering Committee (SteerCo) with the LDraw Standards Committee (LSC). The Steering Committee sets the course for the LDraw Organization while the Standards Committee deals with the LDraw File Format.

Congratulations to the new and a huge thank you to the outgoing members!

Hi all,

I'm trying to put together a Yoda Minifigure. I've found the parts for his head and the short legs, but I can't seem to find his torso. On Peeron, the piece I'm looking for is called "Minifig Torso with Pockets, Belt and ID" - (973px158). See this link

Anyone working on this part, or know where I can find it?

Cheers

Reuben

After creating the Hips And Legs with Scale Armor Pattern, it turned out that there are at least two versions of the hips & legs pattern with different colors.
While one difference (the brown belt) is easy to see, i have a problem with identifying the color of the very dark red colored hanging cloth:

On the same pattern, i'm not sure which color to choose for the dark armor scales. The brighter ones are "Metallic Silver" (code 80), and i took "Speckle Dark Bluish Gray" (code 76) for all the dark ones. Because the pattern of the Rohan Soldier uses the same colors, i want to be clear which colors i have to use:


I tried "Flat Silver" (code 179), but then the contrast between the scales seems to low.

Any suggestions?

In another thread it was asked for a tool that shows the related parts and also the required parts for a library file.
I have so far a working result. The only thing I need now to implement is storing the results for the next use.
If someone is already interested in testing the current build, please drop me a note.



Just uploaded the latest build that should be error free. Thanks to all that help to make it error free.
Please download from my new webspace at ldraw.heidemann.org

To all that has already LDStructure installed: I have changed the place where the database is stored (under Win8 it is "C:\ProgramData", a hidden folder!)

Have Fun!
