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

Parts Tracker: weird date format

Posted by: Steffen - 2024-03-07, 20:56 - Forum: Website Suggestions/Requests/Discussion - Replies (2)

	Hello Orion, can we change the date format on the Parts Tracker to the ISO date format, i.e. YYYY-MM-DD instead of the weird US-specific one currently there?

Part License Policy

Posted by: Orion Pobursky - 2024-03-07, 3:21 - Forum: Parts Tracker Discussion - Replies (2)

Now that we've had the new CA in place for almost 2 years and enforcement in place for a year:

No new parts will be released without being solely CC BY 4 licensed

Additionally, all CC BY 2 parts, regardless of age or hold status, are free to be re-authored, from scratch, by any current Parts Author. From scratch means from a blank file without referencing the old part in any way. To avoid the potential for cross-contamination, part origin and orientation can be fixed after creation if you are re-authoring official parts.

Part 48729 dimensions

Posted by: N. W. Perry - 2024-03-06, 14:45 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (2)

It looks like there's also an issue with the dimensions of part 48729 (a and b variants), and presumably also 3484, based on its use in set 10197:

The angled reinforcements on 48729b are causing a gap of 2 LDU between the 1x1 lamp holder and the 1x2 plate with handle; they should fit flush together.

I think it's a combination of things, but this is based only on part photos:

The "shoulder" of the clip should be a little steeper, so that the widest part of the clip begins a little farther away from the handle.
The cutout in the clip could maybe be a tad shallower.
The angled reinforcements could be just a little less angled with respect to the shoulder.

Unfortunately I don't have the physical part to confirm. I would love to hear from anyone who does—and if you could get a photo of this assembly, even better!

Is 5404.dat correct?

Posted by: SNIPE - 2024-03-05, 22:50 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (3)

	Hi, I'm just wondering if part 5404.dat is correct, because the 1x1 cheese slope and 2x1 grille slope is 2.5 plats high, but it look slike part 5404 is slightly higher: I think the bottom lip is slightly too high compared to the other 2 parts Regards, SNIPE
