Hi,
my name is Nils ans I started building with LDCad some days ago.
The software is really cool and nice to use but I have trouble with adding additional parts.
I want to build a steam locomotive with wheels from Big Ben Bricks.
As some of you know, BBB is offering .dat files for each wheel design to use them in LDraw.
It is no problem to load the models in LDCad and have a look at them, but I have trouble to insert them in the Part bin.
I read trough Roland Melkerts webpage but it seems like I can´t find the procedure.
The nearest was this one: http://www.melkert.net/LDCad/tech/templates
I copied the files from BBB into the "c:/users/puplic/public documents/ldraw/unoffical/parts" folder and added this path in the parts find configuration in LDCad.
I tried it over and over but the wheels won´t show up in the Part bin
Where would they normally show up ? Do i have to tell LDCad "somehow" else about the parts ?
Thank you for your help.
Best regards
Nils
