(2021-10-01, 20:27)Roland Melkert Wrote: You could fake that by using a square or axle SNAP_CYL pair, to force the 'teeth' inline with he nudges inside the hub connector (those connections are forced at 90 deg rotation).

The snap meta on 2907 will still need a 22.5 deg rotate to force the offset as the current official part doesn't align at rest.

(2021-10-22, 4:38)N. W. Perry Wrote: I can't tell if this is a bug or a feature, but I noticed some studless Technic beams were missing their axlehole snaps. I figured out that this was because they use axlehole prims with unofficial updated versions (which I have set to be first in my search paths).

I added the appropriate snap_include to the unofficial primitive file, and now when I edit the part itself the snap info is there, but in the actual model (and part bin) it is not there. How do I get the snap info from unofficial prims to appear in the model?

(2021-10-22, 18:44)Roland Melkert Wrote: Which part number?

The bin and editor use the exact same data, they might render differently though (for snap editing purposes)

(2022-02-24, 4:04)David Manley Wrote: For the part "Technic Sprocket Wheel 25.4" (57520), the following places snap points for each of the sprocket notches. That in turn makes placing the chain tread (57518) somewhat less fraught.

(2022-02-24, 19:14)Roland Melkert Wrote: </snip>

Only difference with yours are the clip orientations which may come into play in a future version of the snapping engine.

(2022-02-24, 22:08)David Manley Wrote: It's interesting that the Y co-ordinate of two of the points are changed from 15 to 14. I thought the sprocket would be symmetrical (not that I actually checked!), which is why I used -15 and 15. Presumably s\57520s02.dat reflects the effective Y values as being -15 and 14 hence why you used those two values.

(2022-03-07, 6:48)David Manley Wrote: For part 41682 (Bracket 2 x 2 - 1 x 2 Up Centred), I can't seem to attach to the back of the vertical plate. The front of the vertical plate is fine.

(2021-12-04, 11:03)Philippe Hurbain Wrote: Not really a shadow problem, but the stud of the telescope (64644) is next to impossible to insert into tube of plate 1x1 round (6141). Most of the time, the telescope jumps to connect its tube to plate stud. Moving the plate instead doesn't help. It works much better with a regular plate 1x1 (3024)!

(2022-04-11, 3:15)N. W. Perry Wrote: These are both very new parts, but 73825 and 79389 need bottom snap info for their 1x1 plate sections.

EDIT: Also 78256 and 79756.

(2022-04-11, 18:36)Roland Melkert Wrote: Those are from the 22-01 library, I'm still processing 20-01

(2022-07-12, 10:48)Jaco van der Molen Wrote: Part 54200 (slope brick 31 1 x 1 x 0.677 / cheese slope) no longer has snap info?

(2022-07-12, 11:46)Milan Vančura Wrote: I had the same problem: I updated shadow info but main part library stayed one version behind. Updating the main ldraw library solved the problem. Isn't it your case as well?

Details: Newest shadow library matches the newest main ldraw library, where 54200 was rewritten using a subpart - and shadow info is for that subpart now.

(2022-10-31, 18:07)Orion Pobursky Wrote: Those were just released last update and use new pin primitives. There is some lag time since Roland has to manually update his shadow lib.

(2022-11-07, 22:57)Roland Melkert Wrote: Make that a lot of lag, as I haven't had time for it at all lately.

I was hoping the github repository would help me improve on this.
https://github.com/RolandMelkert/LDCadShadowLibrary

But no pull requests so far.

(2022-11-08, 7:42)Jaco van der Molen Wrote: OK, nice, but how does one make a offLibShadow.csl file from that?

(2022-11-09, 21:16)Roland Melkert Wrote: You can download the whole repository (green 'code' button top right) or use a local git installation to clone it.

Then in LDCad you point the shadow to the root directory (holding parts and p) just like the normal library locations.


If you really want a csl, just (re)zip the contents making sure the parts and p folders are the root folders inside the zip and rename it to csl.

The downloaded zip can't be used directly because at the moment LDCad doesn't compensate for the 'LDCadShadowLibrary-main' root folder inside it.

This is something that will be improved upon in the next version (It will support using the github downloaded zip as is).

(2022-11-14, 17:42)Jaco van der Molen Wrote: Ah yes, the csl is just a zip.
I will try this. Tnx.
