Multiple alternate models for Creator "mini" sets


Re: Multiple alternate models for Creator "mini" sets
#28
A few notes on the LDraw files I've just posted:
  • Files are organized into steps.
  • Files include LPub meta statements.
  • Unfortunately, some models reference unofficial part files which I have not included as submodels.
  • Some files are organized strangely in order to accommodate the constraints imposed by LPub.
In general, my workflow is:
  1. Build real-life model.
  2. Recreate it digitally in Bricksmith (sometimes I make minor changes - structural improvements, mainly - at this stage).
  3. Paste LPub template lines into the file and lay it out in LPub. Export to PDF.
  4. Save cover image snapshots (including "wireframe" views) with LDView.
  5. Drop cover images into Pages cover template. Export to PDF.
  6. Combine cover and instructions into one PDF with Preview.
  7. (Convert PDF pages to concatenated images with GraphicConverter.)
Happy to answer any questions.
