[LDPartEditor] 0.8.34 Beta Released (Textedit.Hide&Show / Selection Info / Usability) - Nils Schmidt - 2017-07-20 Hey, here are eight new features and one bug fix with a new version of LDPE for Windows, Linux and Mac ![]() ![]() As always, you can download LDPE from this page: http://nilsschmidt1337.github.io/ldparteditor/ Changelog: (8 new features and 1 bug fix) With this release you will be able to...
The program was tested intensively with "real world" files. However, it is still a beta version and something can go wrong in about 100.000 lines of code. Make sure that you choose the right architecture for your OS and Java Virtual Machine (JVM) (64bit or 32bit). A short guide how to check if a 64bit JVM is installed on your system is located at the bottom of this message.
You can search for updates if you do the following steps:
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:
How to check your JVM version (32- or 64-bit): -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can try on the command line: Code: java -d64 version If it's not a 64-bit version, you'll get a message that looks like: This Java instance does not support a 64-bit JVM. Please install the desired version.

And hide/unhide in the text editor is also highly appreciated. I've already used it, and found some unnecessary surfaces in the part I'm reworking. Performance: Hidden Objects (0.8.35) - Nils Schmidt - 2017-07-22 The next release will fix a performance bottleneck which is related to Hide/Show. Currently, LDPE becomes sluggish if you insert the following lines in the text editor and hide them. Code: 1 16 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 stug-16x16.dat Basically, only files which are using many common subfile instances (e.g. stud groups) are affected (only if they are hidden).

I beg your pardon but as usual I would prefer a focus on LDPE, which is my main author prog ;-) w. Better controls for numeric input (0.8.35) - Nils Schmidt - 2017-07-23 (2016-09-07, 14:48)Philippe Hurbain Wrote: Wishes of the day... Today, I implemented these features (#441). RE: Better controls for numeric input (0.8.35) - Philippe Hurbain - 2017-07-23 Good news ![]() Milestone 0.8.35 / Total backlog is small - Nils Schmidt - 2017-07-25 Hey, Milestone 0.8.35 has currently only three open user stories:
In the next weeks I will focus less on implementation tasks. I need more good user stories for future versions of LDPE. The current backlog is extremely small. There are about 40 open issues in total and many of them are not the best bang for your buck or have no business value at all. I'll try to be creative and experiment a little bit, before I continue to work on the backlog. BTW, my last great bug hunt was a long time ago and LDPatternCreator needs some attention, too. Leg godt Nils RE: Milestone 0.8.35 / Total backlog is small - Philippe Hurbain - 2017-07-26 I was going to ask for this one https://github.com/nilsschmidt1337/ldparteditor/issues/345 but I see that things are moving there ![]() This one is loosely related too https://github.com/nilsschmidt1337/ldparteditor/issues/538... Otherwise, I have an other wish... As a user, I'd like to have a local mesh convexity optimizer. Pretty often in scanned or LDD meshes, we have a portion of mesh which is convex overall, but a few triangle pairs are in concave configuration. We generally optimize such configurations using the flip tool, but it's a tedious process. Some automatic optimization would be great in this case! Of course there is no simple solution if the mesh is twisted or saddle-shaped. Attached an example (from LDD) where I manually optimized one side (light blue area). Here the curvature defect is very shallow and barely worth the trouble, but often it's more valuable! RE: Milestone 0.8.35 / Total backlog is small - Philippe Hurbain - 2017-07-27 Wish of the day... When meaningful, I'd like to be able to select (and see in 3D view) elements producing an error or warning (warped quads, triangles or quads with colinear vertices, duplicated lines) directly from error line right click contextual menu (along with quick fix this/quick fix all) |
