HI Everyone, this is my first post on this forum.
I am new to Lpub and am trying to figure out how all this works.
I have made a model in MLCAD 3 and am using an older version of LPUB and POVRay and running windows XP.
First of all, can you recommend places to download the latest version of Lpub that is simple to get to?
I feel it's hard to find what the latest version is and also to get it to work.
Second, I first had problems with the parts list. Lpub would return an error saying it couldn't find the sub model so I added the name of the sub model to the parts list to get around this.
So I got it to render the initial parts but it hangs up when it gets to the first sub model and can't find it.
I know there was a recent post about this but I didn't get a clear answer on what I should do.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Miguel
Oh, and last, what is the easiest way to publish instructions, is there another program instead of Lpub?

I would love to have the x120 shovel part for use in the 5510 set, can't find it anywhere though.

edit oeps, found it

http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cg...s/x556.dat

but it looks wrong. I do own 5510 but it's in storage together with all my kid years lego, so i have to dig for the part. But if pictures or something would help just give a yell.

I would like to see a new lead theme where everybody can send his How to's to.

Here an example:

The first line should be the subject/headline:

How to fix a portion of wrong winding in a file with DATHeader

If you have for example a file where at some point the winding is changed:

On the parts tracker whenever I click on "view diff" my browser (Google Chrome) downloads a file called "ptdatdiff.cgi" which i can't open. I know chrome is compatible with .CGIs because it had to use ptdetail.cgi to get to the "view diff" link. Anybody know why this might be happening?

Could it be possible to get absolute time stamp on messages in addition to relative time stamp ("2 days ago")? It would be easier to use to reference things (eg. "when was this version of xxx program published?")

Bricksmith 2.6.1 adds the following features:

• Automatically checks for and installs application updates
  

• Fixed texture search path (now correctly searches ldraw/parts/textures)
  
• Fixed issues with drag handles inside textures
  
• Fixed object selection inside textures
  

The electric plugs of the 4.5V and 12V era are nearly 99% completed.
They currently all sit on the Parts Tracker:

However, there are a small handful of problems to be solved,
and I would like to ask for help, advice and/or a caliper in this case,
as I am not at my LEGO collection currently (sadly).

PROBLEM A: Plugs Intersect with Parts in Assemblies
Here's an example:

Hey,

Here is the stable and hopefully bug-free LPC 1.4.5.


Please uninstall older versions of this software before installing a new version.
Your configuration won't be deleted if you have already version greater than 1.3.1 installed on your machine.

Change log:

New features:

• The toolbar contains more icons.
  

• It is possible to modify primitives when the triangle mode is activated.
  

As I did not find any documentation on the usage of "s\" I suggest to change the Official Header Standard:

Official Library Header Standard

Filename is the file name

extend to:

Filename ist the file name relative to <LDRAWBASEDIR>/parts or <LDRAWBASEDIR>/p

Hello everyone,

I don't have the part, just follow the photo to modify the appearance from 64424 and 64420.
So, I'm not sure the screw was the correct size, and I don't know their part number, too...

Can I share these parts at Parts Tracker? How can I do?
And I also need to modify which contents of these part files?

Thank you one more time for your answers!
