  Torso assemblies
Posted by: Orion Pobursky - 2024-06-06, 16:37 - Forum: Official File Specifications/Standards - Replies (8)

I'd like to discuss how were going to handle torso assemblies

Do we want to do Rebrickable style with color 16 torso, hardcoded arms, hardcoded hands? 
Color 16 everything? 
An all color 16 version with cNN versions for the hard coded arms and hands?

I have thoughts but I'd like to hear other opinions first.

P.S. This is happening so the answer of "don't add them" isn't helpful.

This is how I update the LDraw part numbers used on my LEGO Parts Guide at https://brickarchitect.com/parts/

I don't know how long it has been broken, since I haven't updated my dataset since 4/30.

  [Part 2003pb01] Minifigure, Hair Short Layered Mop Top with Lime Streaks Pattern
Posted by: Lewis - 2024-06-05, 6:24 - Forum: Part Requests - Replies (2)

This hairpiece should be available in the instructions app in most of the DREAMZzz sets. I was looking for it since I think it would be a pretty good fit for Mae/Osha from The Acolyte.

  [LDPatternCreator] Release 1.7.5 (triangle auto-completion)
Posted by: Nils Schmidt - 2024-06-03, 20:04 - Forum: Parts Author Tools - Replies (8)

Hey,

this release brings triangle auto-completion. It can speed-up pattern creation once again (Video on YouTube).
Just place a few vertices and click on the "magic stick" icon
.png   magic.png (Size: 1.39 KB / Downloads: 118) .
Then hover with the circle above the vertices. They will be auto-magically triangulated.
You can increase and decrease the "magic circle" size with the cursor keys.
The selection is limited to 25 vertices, otherwise it will not work smoothly.

To test this feature, you could load a finished pattern and delete one colour from the pattern.
Then try to recreate the deleted area with triangle auto-completion by moving the circle over it.
Zooming in/out and adjusting the circle size with the cursor keys helps you during this process.

Please note that it can leave gaps, sice it refuses to create very sharp triangles.
This feature does not yet consider reference lines or the background picture contents.

Download and install the latest LDPatternCreator release directly from sourceforge.net.
Any previous version should be uninstalled first. Your program configuration will be preserved.

Change log:

New feature:

  • Added "Triangle Auto-Completion" which creates triangles over a set of vertices inside a circle. Use the cursor keys to increase or decrease the circle size.

As always, I included a short readme.htm in the installation directory.

Cheers & Leg Godt

Nils

  Wrong orientation?
Posted by: Evert-Jan Boer - 2024-06-02, 12:32 - Forum: Parts Tracker Discussion - Replies (1)

After submitting 3818px3 it looks like the part tracker image is mirrored, but the file itself looks ok?
If there is an error in the file itself, I don't see it at the moment.

Exclamation Search for part 31901
Posted by: Flo - 2024-06-01, 18:08 - Forum: Help - Replies (2)

Hello guys,

I've been looking for the brick 31901 for a long time but I couldn't find one yet, I would need it in Stud.io... I saw on rebrickable that there seems to be this brick here, but I can't find it... Could someone show me where it is/recreate it, because I can't see it using the part tracker function... Here is the rebrickable website with the Ldraw picture: https://rebrickable.com/parts/31901/larg...#rel_parts

I hope for your help, I would be very happy!
Greetings

  [LDPE] 1.8.78 Released (move subfiles to manipulator / text editor transformations)
Posted by: Nils Schmidt - 2024-05-31, 17:57 - Forum: Parts Author Tools - Replies (6)

Hey,

this version gives you the powerful ability to move a set of subfiles to the manipulator, using "Move a selected Subfile to the Manipulator".
You need to pick one subfile as a reference and it transforms the selection accordingly!
There are also other helpful features, too, e.g. configuring Edger2 to include or not include unmatched edges by default.
And last, but not least the "long awaited" buttons for global translate+rotate via text editor.

[Image: imgDuke2.png]

As always, you can download LDPE from this page:

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

Changelog:

(4 new features and 1 bug fix)

With this release you will be able to...

  • ...move a set of subfiles to the manipulator, using "Move a selected Subfile to the Manipulator" (only one subfile was supported before).
  • ...customise Edger2 in the options ("Tools..."->"Options...") to include or not include unmatched edges by default.
  • ...use buttons for (global) 3D transformations (rotate + translate) in the text editor.
  • ...choose on which line the point gets projected when you calculate the nearest point between two skew lines.

The following critical issue is fixed:

  1. Rounding in the text editor did not update the vertex meta commands.

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

Installation on Windows:

  1. Download and extract LDPartEditor_win32_x64.zip
  2. Run LDPartEditor-1.8.78.msi
  3. Start LDPartEditor from the start menu
Installation on Linux:

  1. Download and extract LDPartEditor_linux_x64.zip
  2. Install ldparteditor_1.8.78-1_amd64.deb
  3. Start LDPartEditor from the menu or via launcher
Installation on Mac OS X:

  1. Download and extract LDPartEditor_mac_x64.zip
  2. Mount LDPartEditor-1.8.78.dmg
  3. Drag LDPartEditor.app to the Applications folder
  4. 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.

  Parts with circular references
Posted by: Orion Pobursky - 2024-05-30, 23:44 - Forum: Parts Tracker Discussion - Replies (1)

Apparently, the safeguards that are in place to prevent parts with circular references are buggy. Until I can chase down what the problem is (hopefully soon), triple check to make sure you are not submitting parts with circular references.
