need help with chains - Stefan Weinert - 2019-08-07
Hello,
i have when loading my project in studio2.0 the problem that the chains are displayed only by gray boxes.
I use
LDCad 1.6.c
LPub3D 2.3.6 (because it is relatively stable with me)
Studio2.0 (2.0.6).
Can someone help me? I have very little idea of the internal processes of the programs, they want to use "only" ...
best regards
Stefan

Hi Stefan
I just remeber to a Thread of Philo.

Maybe that's the solution to your problem.

Hi Johann,
i used the only changeable part for chains. I think I used the LQ model like the flex hose, flex axis and cables. How can I find that out in LDCad? If I go to the submodel, I find the following text (see pdf)...
...the bottom picture is the result when i do phillipe's change in nested mode

I just played a little bit with LDCad and create a new small chain in the front of the truck
After importing to Studio, this chain don't make problems.
Maybe you must create the chains new.
Any one else ideas?

Hi again
Quick and dirty solution, maybe not the correct way, but it works.
Open your file with Editor
Edit ---> Replace...
Search: 30104k01.dat
Replace with: 208.dat
Search: 30104k02.dat
Replace with: 209.dat
Save the file.
Enjoy!

The solution with the replacement works! Hey, thank you very much !!! What was the problem? did not studio know this component?

I marked the chain in nested mode and opened properties. the values are reset, but the chain remains fragmented (see file). Unfortunately, I have no stand from before. It is not easy to rewrite the chain. If there is a simple solution, I accept it gladly, otherwise I must redraw the chain

You should be able to select the unwanted sections by clicking on the blue white stripped line during nested mode. Once selected you can delete them using the del key.
Also make sure "segment size" is 14 (it's set to 50 in your pdf)
