I played around with mklst.exe but no progress,but then I noticed that LeoCAD took more time to start when a custom Library path is entered.
I got it now...
It is really tricky, reading the page how LeoCAD handles the Party Library helped a lot :-)
What I did now:
- Made the Torso a seperate part (during this process I removed the direct colors, but I guess that did not matter)
- Put the part into /LDRAW/PARTS
- renamed the default library LeoCAD comes with to "library.bin.old"
- Start LeoCAD, it will complain that there is no library, ignore that
- Go to "View/Preferences"
- under "Custom Parts Library" enter the path to the Ldraw root dir. e.g. c:\Ldraw
- Click OK and quit LeoCAD
- Start it again, it will take quite some time as it is scanning the library
- once it is up, you can find the part in the parts browser...
hope that works for you as well :-)
