  Weekly parts - default sorting
Posted by: Paweł Turalski - 2024-06-10, 10:19 - Forum: Website Suggestions/Requests/Discussion - Replies (2)

Hello guys, I would like to suggest to fix the sorting on parts tracker. Previously I saw the newest parts first and it was intuitive, normal. But since few months I see the parts from 2008 when I open the website (any device), every time I have to change the sorting to see the new parts. Yes I use my phone to look at the parts and plan to download them on pc later. But when I use computer browser it looks the same, the oldest parts are first. This is the first thing I see when I open the parts tracker:
   
Don't get me wrong, but is it a bug? I mean, personally I don't see any logical reason to see the oldest parts first which probably I already have

  Call for bug reports on LDCad 1.7 Beta 1
Posted by: Roland Melkert - 2024-06-08, 18:40 - Forum: LDraw Editors and Viewers - Replies (3)

I've picked up work on LDCad again these last few weeks preparing for 1.7 Beta 2.

So if anyone has had some issues or discovered any bugs, please report them here so I can fix them in this new version.


Current release notes:

Code:
--==1.7 Beta 2 (??-??-2024)==--
Fixed:
- [FileIO] Files containing numbers with a ridiculous number of decimal digits will no longer cause weird rounding errors. Only the first 20 digits will be used and internally rounded to 19 digits.
- [Config] Added missing glTF folder to setup.sh
- [Config] Editing grid settings will no longer get lost when upgrading from a very old version. It will now reset to the default when detected.
- [GUI] Added (experimental) 'outside monitor' protection to the main window position and size restore upon start.
- [Shadow] The shadow cleaner function in the Linux version no longer falsely complains about orphaned shadow files.
- [Shadow] Regenerating the CONTRIBUTIONS.md file will now correctly merge information from multiple libraries if they share the same shadow.
- [PartBin] The part bin filter will no longer limit results to library items when searching on keyword content.
- [Editing] The rotation stepping enabled/disabled option is no longer ignored in 2D editing move.
- [Editing] Paste a position + rotation value using the property editor will no longer crash the application if only a position is on the clipboard.


Improved/Changed:
- [Config] Improved handling of unknown values.
- [Config] Added numpad variants to hotkey selection.
- [OpenGL] Removed the 'reuse front buffer' option as it doesn't work on modern hardware / OS's and instead ends up causing problems and/or confusion. During upgrade the option will default to FBO. If FBO turns out to be unavailable or fails to initialize it will revert to 'normal' mode.
- [Shadow] Unofficial part content is now allowed in the official shadow library. The shadow cleaner will help keep an eye on them once the linked part becomes official.


Added:
- [Config] Libraries can now be given an (optional) name for use in pbg filters.
- [PartBin] Favorite parts can now be added including the current working color.
- [PartBin] Added new pbg filter rule kind, "libName", for use with the new library name.
- [PartBin] Added a patterned plates group to the sorted tree.
- [PartBin] It is now possible to filter on color using the special '@' character. If given it will always act as: 'color AND (other entered text)'. Just like the '!' character this is only available when the filter is set to use AND or OR comparison method.
- [Editing] Added a "open current subfile location" option to the session menu.
- [Editing] Added alternative panning and rotation middle mouse button orientated interaction modes.

Still planned:

- Some (minor) additional shadow editing tools.
- Some minor scripting extensions.
- Add support for the new AVATAR meta.
- Add support for the new LDraw_org qualifiers.
- Rotation step 'Favourites'.

  Mirroring 42938
Posted by: Roland Melkert - 2024-06-07, 1:00 - Forum: Parts Authoring - Replies (1)

I've been trying to figure out the LDCad mirror meta parameters needed for "Car Track 16 x  8 x  2 Curve".

Normally you set a rotation point and rotate the part into its own counter part.

But I'm having problems determining that point as the part seems to be slightly off.

I think it should be half x of the highest point at the arc between the 2 red bricks.

But the two red bricks use different x values (non symmetrical?).

It should probably be close to 172 0 0, but this puts it on 320.956369 0 86 instead of 320 0 086

   

Is this part just not suitable for mirroring or I'm a missing something, thoughts?

  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
