Official Part Fix Submission

Posted by: Orion Pobursky - 2024-03-15, 18:36 - Forum: Parts Tracker Discussion - Replies (18)

	I'm considering allowing all registered authors to submit fixes to official parts. I have a feeling this has been admin only since the old PT code made submission and deletion a pain. Any strong opinions?

[LDPE] 1.8.76 Released (rotation bugfix / edger2 defaults / slashes)

Posted by: Nils Schmidt - 2024-03-15, 17:37 - Forum: Parts Author Tools - Replies (18)

Hey,

this release finally fixes the annoying bug regarding rotations with the manipulator.
Thanks to Philo and Fredrik I was able to find all the root causes for this.

[Image: imgDuke2.png]

As always, you can download LDPE from this page:

http://nilsschmidt1337.github.io/ldparteditor/

Changelog:

(2 new features and 1 bug fix)

With this release you will be able to...

...be warned about "slashes" in subfile references and you can "Quick Fix" it.
..."Exclude Unmatched Edges" by default in Edger2.

The following critical issue is fixed:

The 3D manipulator orientation got polluted during rotation.

The program was tested intensively with "real world" files.
However, something can go wrong in about 140.000 lines of code.

Installation on Windows:

Download and extract LDPartEditor_win32_x64.zip
Run LDPartEditor-1.8.76.msi
Start LDPartEditor from the start menu

Installation on Linux:

Download and extract LDPartEditor_linux_x64.zip
Install ldparteditor_1.8.76-1_amd64.deb
Start LDPartEditor from the menu or via launcher

Installation on Mac OS X:

Download and extract LDPartEditor_mac_x64.zip
Mount LDPartEditor-1.8.76.dmg
Drag LDPartEditor.app to the Applications folder
Copy ldparteditor.sh to your home folder
4a. Open a Terminal.app and run ./ldparteditor.sh
4b. Or open a Terminal.app and run /Applications/LDPartEditor.app/Contents/MacOS/LDPartEditor

I listen carefully to your requests and possible complaints. Please leave me a message, with your thoughts and wishes to further improve the software.

LDPE is a 3D CAD application: The overall system requirements are higher. While I recommend to use a powerful 64-bit multicore system, it could be possible, to run LDPE on older machines as well.

System Requirements:

Minimum System Requirements:

OpenGL 2.1 compatible Graphics Card
Operating System (64-bit): Windows [7 or newer], Linux [e.g. Ubuntu Linux >=14.4], Mac OS X [>=10.6]
CPU: Multicore-Processor e.g. Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Athlon II (>2.0Ghz)
RAM: 4GB
Video-Memory: 1 GB
Free Disk Space: 150 MB

Recommended Requirements:

Operating System (64bit): Windows 7,8,10,11, Linux [e.g. Ubuntu Linux >=14.4], Mac OS X [>=10.6]
OpenGL 3.3 compatible Graphics Card
CPU: Multicore-Processor with 4 cores (or more)
RAM: >4 GB
Video-Memory: >1 GB
Free Disk Space: 500 MB
For a faster start, LDPartEditor and the LDraw™ library should be installed on an SSD.

Edge Lines export bug in LDView 4.5

Posted by: Steffen - 2024-03-13, 21:03 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (2)

Hello Travis,

I just tried out the "export edge lines to POVRay" feature of LDView 4.5.

It sadly is broken: it outputs a syntactically invalid *.pov file because the generated file contains a stray "#end".

Here is the output I got, the line I tagged with "SYNTAX ERROR" is wrong.

I also noticed that logic for the switch LDXSkipEdges is wrong:
it currently is:

Code:
#if (LDXSkipEdges = 0)

    object { LDXEdges }

#end

    object { LDXConditionalEdges }

but IMHO should be

Code:
#if (LDXSkipEdges = 0)

    object { LDXEdges }

    object { LDXConditionalEdges }

#end

Code:

Rotation bug

Posted by: Fredrik Hareide - 2024-03-12, 7:59 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (7)

There is a rotation bug that is driving me nuts. I think I have found out how to reproduce it-

https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/rdun0og50...rixoj&dl=0

Here is a video of the issue. Sorry for bad quality, had wrong settings in OBS when I captured it.

What I think reproduces it is the following.

1. Be on rotation mode
2. Copy/paste a submodel in text editor
3. Select that line and choose select in 3d view.
4. Try to rotate and it will jump to a random rotation before starting to rotate.

3626c gap

Posted by: Fredrik Hareide - 2024-03-12, 7:40 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (2)

I was making a pattern on 3626c today and noticed that there is a 0.2 gap between the faceplate and the rest of the part. Is this intentional?

Code:
16 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 s\3626cs01.dat

16 0 4 0 13 0 0 0 13 0 0 0 -13 2-4cyli.dat

16 0 4 0 0 0 -8 0 -6.4 0 -8 0 0 t04o6250.dat

16 0 4 0 8 0 0 0 -6.4 0 0 0 -8 t04o6250.dat

16 0 17 0 0 0 8 0 6.4 0 -8 0 0 t04o6250.dat

16 0 17 0 -8 0 0 0 6.4 0 0 0 -8 t04o6250.dat

The gap can actually be seen in plain text here as 6.4 will give 12.8 and not 13.
Edit:
Gap is smaller than first anticipated. Might be ok?

[5401pb01] Windscreen Motorcycle with black border print

Posted by: Christoph Reum - 2024-03-07, 21:35 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (1)

Starting this thread as a oppurtunity to get possibly a pingback when the new Windshield of the Kawasaki H2R has been worked on by some parts autor.

Have found the part id on rebrickable.. https://rebrickable.com/parts/5401pb01/w...der-print/

Would be nice to have this digitally & already thanks for the person outting efforts in - thanks in advance! ♥

Edit: Bricklink ID of the part has moved it seems... from "4437pr0001" to "5401pb01"

Best regards, Christoph
