  MLCad v3.4 rotation problem
Posted by: Harald Christ - 2012-09-02, 14:09 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (7)

As this is my first post, i'd like to say hello. Hey all! Smile Now, on to my problem.

I've just upgraded to MLCad v3.4 after using 3.1 for a long time. Everything is fine, however i've noticed when i select a part (or group of parts) and go to <right click> 'Enter Pos. + Rot.', i can't choose 'Use Rotation Vector Values'.

I've seen another post on this forum about the same problem, and the response was 'something got broke and hasn't been fixed', but that was five months ago and i was wondering if something HAS been fixed and i just don't know about it. Smile

If it is still broken, is there a workaround to get a part to rotate less than the fine grid measurement of 15 degrees? I guess i could set the grid default to the desired angle, but i never KNOW the actual angle i'm after beforehand. I always adjust the angle until it sits where i want.

Any help or information would be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

  LGEO Parts Update
Posted by: Owen Burgoyne - 2012-09-01, 10:39 - Forum: Rendering Techniques - Replies (6)

Hello all.

After some correspondence with Willy, I thought I'd post a link to an LGEO update I've been working on, the progress of which I have been posting over at Eurobricks.

Lutz Uhlmann seems to have stopped working on LGEO since about 2008, where a large number of his original parts were updated or fixed. However, there are still a number of parts missing from the LGEO library, as well as a few parts that still need fixing.

I have put together an update that contains some more fixes, a few cosmetic updates, as well as some new parts that I have managed to create by either adapting existing parts or (and this took a little while to get my head around) creating parts from scratch.

Although some of my new parts are not perfect, they look good enough when not rendered close up, so I'm happy with them for the time being.

The zip file contains all the relevant files required, and a PDF document of instructions on how to install them.

The current total for the parts pack, as of 2012-08-30, is:

- New parts: 37
- Updated parts: 2
- Fixed parts: 12

Download: LGEO-Update.zip

Incidentally, I've started work on a POV-Ray rendering guide on the LDraw.org wiki, and will publish that properly when it's finished. It'll be based on the Eurobricks guide, but with some tweaks.

  Multiple alternate models for Creator "mini" sets
Posted by: Jim DeVona - 2012-08-30, 3:33 - Forum: MOCs (My Own Creations) - Replies (31)

I've posted instructions for a series of 26 different models built with a few small Creator sets: http://www.flickr.com/photos/anoved/sets...314213222/

Here are direct links to a few of my favorites:

[Image: 7891345580_b4cac94dc3_m.jpg] [Image: 7891367722_3c9a83a550_m.jpg] [Image: 7891373088_c14599b98d_m.jpg][Image: 7891387738_01bd41b951_m.jpg]

I plan to post the LDraw files for each model as well, perhaps as replies here, but will do so at a later date.

These were produced as part of a half-baked plan to set up an alternate-model-instructions shop called "Brick Blueprints". I am a better builder than businessperson, though, so I decided to scrap the project (at least in its present form) and just share the MOCs.

  Hose Reel 2 x 4 x 2 Holder (4209)
Posted by: Christoph Mierowski - 2012-08-28, 14:41 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (13)

This part has two versions, an open stud one and a closed stud one. Only the open stud one is existing.
BL and peeron only list one version, but the pics on peeron show two.
Here another picture of the closed stud version from ebay.

So can anyone make this one?

  Special Effects, Custom Parts
Posted by: Matthew Renner - 2012-08-27, 17:55 - Forum: MOCs (My Own Creations) - No Replies

Hello to all! I've been using LDraw for seven years and have designed both LEGO and "non-LEGO" parts alike. My portfolio can be seen here. To note, some parts are my own custom design and therefore not true LEGO, though I made the effort to fit them within the LEGO spirit and theme. I hope you like!

I am interested in connecting personally with those who share my interest in design as well as POV-Ray; my LinkedIn profile is here.
