Hi,
I just downloaded LDRAW and MLCAD today to try it out.
A couple of questions:
1.
I can't find this part when using MLCAD;
http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=88930&in=S
Slope, Curved 2 x 4 x 2/3 No Studs with Bottom Tubes
2.
I'm not sure if I have the latest and full parts available...
Here is what I think I did:
The first parts list I downloaded "complete.exe" was approx 5mb (I think) and it seemed really basic.
i followed the instructions and used the command prompt etc.
then I downloaded another one, "complete.zip" and it was 17.1 mb approx... I think I installed it, i extracted it into the ldraw folder... it asked if I wanted to replace some files... i said yes.
But the parts seem the same on MLCAD... is there another step i've missed?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Jon

I need virtual bricks of Early Simple Mahines set (9656 or 9654). I can't find it in LDraw.
Only few bricks are in .dat format. Mayby someone have others parts to use in LDraw.
Thanks
ps. sorry for my English

Patterns on transparent parts: To BFC or not to BFC? |

After talking to Philo, he said I should ask on the Forum about this matter.
Should I BFC a pattern on a transparent part? If it's not BFC'd and you hit BFC in LDView (with red/green turned off) the pattern stays visible on the backside of the part, if it's BFC's the Pattern is not visible. Anyway, POV-Ray doesn't make any difference. The pattern is visible on the bottom, if BFC'd or not. So from my point of view it doesn't make any difference.
But what do you experts think about it? I'll do as you say.

Hey,
Here is the new LPC 1.3.3.
Please uninstall older versions of this software before installing a new version.
Your configuration won't be deleted if you have already version 1.3.2 installed on your machine.
Change log:
New features: - You can use three new shortkeys to access the primitive menu (F7), the “Merge/Split..” menu (F8) and the CSG menu (F9).
- You can customize the colour toolbar by clicking on a colour with your right mouse button (except colour 16).
- You can import/load PNG images.
- Colour 16 triangles are rendered as white-dotted triangles.
- The precision of the projector is improved.
Fixed Bugs from 1.3.X:- Minor language translation bugs
- The selection rectangle does not disappear in some cases
- The vertex does not instantly follow the mouse cursor when “Add Vertex” is active
(see full list of tickets for 1.3.3)
I included a short README.pdf in the installation directory.
Cheers & Leg Godt
Nils

Convertng Ldraw files into Solidworks or Famos or Step format |
Posted by: aaburouss - 2012-04-17, 13:33 - Forum: LDraw File Processing and Conversion

Hi guys,
Is it possible to convert the Ldraw data into step format t be opened with Solidworks or eventually in Famos (robotics software, supports *.prt,*.asm,*.neu,*.des,*.g,*.igs, *.iges,*.catia-iges,*.sat,*.stp,*.step,*.x_t,*.vda,*.igp,*.stl).
I've tried converting the Ldraw to .dxf with the ldr. to dxf converter, to open it in Solidworks, but that didn't work.
I wouldappreciate any suggestions.
Thaks a lot
Abdallah

LDraw at Brickworld Chicago 2012 |

Sadly the needs of the Navy have trumped my desire to attend this year. Please disregard this post.
I am officially representing LDraw Brickworld Chicago this year. As in past years I'm going to give my Intro to LDraw presentation but are there any other topics that you might like to see? Also, If you're attending let me know and if we have enough people I'll request a community roundtable discussion.
Also, I'm going to have an LDraw display for public day. I'd like to have some fresh renderings for use instead of rehashing the old MOTM/SOTM images.
Any other thoughts?
