For the program MPDCenter I needed a list of possible values for the !THEME entry.

I have build that list (also attached) from a list from Bricklink.

I feel this list should be maintained on ldraw.org like the categories.

A new version of BrickPad is available in the App Store. Here is a short list of what has changed:

- Parts of the step are listed in a bubble (iPad only, for now).
- Added the ability to view a parts list for the model (network connection required).
- Added a Model Inspector to view various info about the model.
- Support for the LDraw WRITE/PRINT command.
- Swipe left or right to go to previous or next building step.
- Other improvements and enhancements.
- iOS 6 bug fixes.

And a screenshot with the new in step parts list bubble:



Enjoy,

The 75174p01c01.dat - Animal Dragon Oriental w. Chr.Gold Head and Tr.Red Wings (Comp.) makes use of 30130.dat an alias of 6133.dat - Animal Dragon Wing, causing an error when the Alias library isn't installed. This should be corrected in the next release.

75174c01.dat - Animal Dragon with Red Wings (Complete) is fine.

Available
Relative complex object which fits in a volume of about 20 x 20 x 20 cm

Target
Building this object from Lego in a scale of 1:2.5 (volume about 50 x 50 x 50 cm) using MLCad, LDView and LPub

Possible Solution
(1) Scanning the object
(2) Scaling Scan Data (1:2.5) and saving as object.stl File
(3) Converting object.stl to object.dat using program STL2DAT
(4) Integrating object.dat in LDraw Library (under Models)
(5) Temporary mod of LDConfig.ldr by adding a more transparent color "Trans_Clear_Clear" (just done)
(6) Positioning object.dat in MLCad and assigning the new transparency "Trans_Clear_Clear"
(7) Building the model inside the transparent envelope with best fit (checking with LDView)

Need Help
(1) I do not own a Laser Scanner and 123D does not delivery usable results so the object has to be scanned by a external Scan Service. What have I to observe placing the order ?
(2) What do you think - would the relatively old program STL2DAT be able to convert the STL file delivered by such a Scan Service using modern hard- and software ? I do not really understand the options I have to use with STL2DAT - how can I find out best values ?
(3) I added the more transparent color "Trans_Clear_Clear" temporarily to LDConfig.ldr by copying existing definition for "Trans_Clear" and changing CODE to 48 (unused color) and ALPHA from 128 to 100. It seems for me that ALPHA is a measure for the transparency - what is the usable (allowed) range of this value ? (e.g. 64 does not work)

Thank you for any recommendations,

Arthur

Hej,
for building the Pet-Shop (10218-1) i need the mentioned parts.
The Dog is available in LDD but I'm not good enough to convert it into a good .dat file. Of course I could start with the basics there but the we have another file on the PT which isn't perfect enough.

The bucket is missing in LDD, so I hope that somebody have this part. Otherwise I will buy it with my next Bricklink-Order and try to do it by myself.

Thanks
Martin

I just noticed some of the segment parts (166 and 80) seem to have edges on the inside, is this a technical thing or an oversight? I's seems like a waste of resources to me.

I'm worrying about this because I want to use those files as donors for generating seamless tubes (deforming the segments along a path) the result can not use references so it will generate a ton of flattened geometry, including all those unnecessary type 5 lines.

I need for an old set the following part:

Anybody that can do pattern is invited

Thanks for your help in advance.

Hey,

Here is the new and stable LPC 1.4.4!


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.

• The opacity configuration is stored in the lpc file.
  
• You can use shortkeys for all snap & merge actions.
  
• The Colour Palette+Image+View Prefs forms are minimized, when the main form is minimized.
  

• LPC crashes on file export (with included projection data).
  
• The "Advanced Options.."-Menu causes a crash under rare conditions.
  

Hello,

I am pretty new at using Leocad and am having trouble finding one of the parts I need. I am looking for part #6087. Here is the bricklink reference page for the part;http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=6087

Am I just not seeing it or is it not in the parts library?

Thank you for any help.

The Bionicle Saga is at its end. So I think it would be a good idea to fill in the gaps of those parts in the library.

I just found that the part 41671 is present in the current LDD. Maybe someone can translate to LDraw.
