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.
- Build real-life model.
- Recreate it digitally in Bricksmith (sometimes I make minor changes - structural improvements, mainly - at this stage).
- Paste LPub template lines into the file and lay it out in LPub. Export to PDF.
- Save cover image snapshots (including "wireframe" views) with LDView.
- Drop cover images into Pages cover template. Export to PDF.
- Combine cover and instructions into one PDF with Preview.
- (Convert PDF pages to concatenated images with GraphicConverter.)
