Dear LSC,

please bear with me if I play in your corner of the sandbox. I just wanna sum up what has to be somehow addressed:

Clarify Name line
OMR: prefixing imported files
TEXMAP in official parts
Define TEXMAP resolution and naming conventions

Hi,

has any of you tried to run a minimal LDraw installation say with MLCad, LDView on a Win8 Tablet-PC?

http://code.google.com/p/ldmakelist/downloads/list

Please find LDMakeList 2.0, a replacement for makelist with added features and full support for >64 character description names. This updated version of LDMakeList contains a number of new options (-? will show them) and writes parts.xml in a format compatible with LDFind (although no support for parts.xml exists).

It can be run identically to the old "makelist" simply as LDMakeList -d or LDMakeList -n

If you do not wish to write Parts.xml please use the -x switch.

Please let me know if the compiled version works on your computer.

I have started a thread asking for thoughts on LDraw membership.

Hi all,

Per changes to the P&P, we now need the membership procedure to be set in consultation with the community. That phrase was added for the very good reason that membership procedures should be for all to decide.

As such I would like to hear as many thoughts as possible on membership procedures.

Added later:
NB. The membership rules are important in that only members can vote for the LDraw Standards Comittee (LSC) and LDraw Steering Comittee (SteerCo).

Tim

The SteerCo recently voted to change the LDraw Policies and Procedures. Changes were made to sections 4.01 and 5.01 of that document.

Previously the document tied the membership procedure to a specific technical procedure ie. it was "granted by completing the Membership application process on the LDraw.org web site". This no longer made sense as the technology has changed (there is no process on the website) and we have changed the document to allow the community to decide how to allow new members.

I tried to create it with LDPC, but i don't know how. I saw tutorial, but i didn't understand it.
I project to XY part i want to pattern, but when i export it back to xy it became planar.
Maybe someone has template of minifig head?

When I uploaded my Superman head I asked this question.

Quote
I think that we should find a nomenclature for the twosided heads.

I can find five previous parts:
3626bpq0.dat "Minifig Head Mummy Face 2-Sided with 2 Eyes / 1 Eye Pattern"
3626bpq1.dat "Minifig Head Mummy Face 2-Sided with 2 Eyes / Gold Death Mask"
3626bph4.dat "Minifig Head with Gregory Goyle/Harry Potter Pattern"
3626bph5.dat "Minifig Head with Vincent Crabbe/Ron Weasley Pattern"
3626bpsc.dat "Minifig Head with SW Grey Eyebrows & Implant Pattern"

I would like to add the word "2-Sided". But where, and how should it be written? Or not?
End quote

My suggestion now, when perhaps the 64-character ban is lifted, all two-sided heads must end with ".....2-Sided Pattern".

Any comments?

Hej,
I'm still reworking the official library.
Just a few minutes ago I opened 206b.dat. As I can see, this part is no longer used in any parts. It is more or less replaced by a newer one, but the dimension is a little bit different. What should I do, with this part? Create a "moved to" or mark it as obsolete or or or...

Christian Neumann created almost all parts from this theme and I think hi will create all patterns, bat I do not see any model made from them. I think it is unfairly to ignore such hard work.
I Created 7305. It is not OMR, but if some one want you can fix it.
