Ever since I was issued a new laptop from work and installed lpub on it, it takes ages to do any kind of render operation. I am guessing there's some security setting in Windows that has to time out every time it invokes the external program to do the render. Anyone know how to fix this?

Hi all,

J.C. Tchang has made a further update to the French manual for the LDraw Pattern Creator.

It now includes a new tutorial for applying a pattern to a minifig head. The updated manual can be found here:

I just lost three hours of work because Bricksmith crashed on me. Does it leave temp files out there that I can use to recover my work?

I don't know which one is correct part number.
Anyway this part has not been yet in my observation.
Anybody have an idea, let me know, please.
Thanks for reading.

Greetings everyone,

I am the creator of the "Black Falcon Armory", a set of mock-up parts based upon modern military small arms and gear.



These were made about six years ago, they are crude but somewhat cool looking; and I had received some emails asked whether those are real parts.

And recently, my interests on LDraw had made a return, and I am thinking to remake those guns at a much higher quality, akin to those real-life custom made counterparts, do you think this is a good idea?

(i.e.:Most of the guns are still available here)

I've gotten into thinking that the old blue patterns may be better represented with color 272 Dark_Blue, rater than the normally used color 1 Blue, which IMO is way too bright. See attached mpd for comparasing and tell me what you think.

Ps. If it is possiple to request some some of the patterns to the raised baseplates. I can see that there isn't a single one of them that have a pattern on them yet.

Hi,

I'm totally new to anything CAD (well, except LDraw and MLCad, but only moving bricks from A to B). I'm building some Star Wars models, but there are so many printed parts missing. I was trying to recreate the pattern for 30116pb03 (Panel 14 x 14 x 2 2/3 Quarter Saucer Top with Millennium Falcon Pattern) (yes, I know, maybe hard stuff for a beginner, but that's the part I really want) and came across all the programs like LPC and LDP. The principle is clear. Import a part, draw a lot of triangles, save, done. But there are the things between these points, that I don't get. At least not by tial and error. For example: I'll import the part 30116.dat. Fine. And now? How do I get one of the 15 facets to the right position? How do I position the background image right? When I zoom in the part, all I see is the middle. So, how do I scroll left/right or up/down? Since I'm stuck here and did not even get to the "draw a lot of triangles" point, I turned to the Sticker Generator, which was a suitable alternative (for me). I made stickers for every single facet of the part (and after 3 days work, not every sticker 100% accurate, be it in size or position), the final part and subparts being about 12 MB (!), which made the pov file quite heavy. Anyway, I really like to do it right, so anyone who has some experience with LPC or LDP could you please at least tell me, how do I get to the "draw a lot on triangles" part?

Thank you.
