LDCad Part Organization

[Roland Melkert]

just a note to any one who is involved with the construction/maintenance of LDCad. The friends and Elves heads are found divided between two directories 'Figures' and 'Mini-Figures', if there is a way to put them in one category (hopefully with relative ease) I'd appreciate knowing it or having it in the next version, either or.

You could edit (while the program is closed)
%appdata%\LDCad\partBin\default\sorted\friendsFigHatsHair.pbg

and change

Code:

<rules>
include description figure friends*
exclude category figure accessory
exclude description ~*,_*m,=*,brush,dryer
exclude !description hair,hat

into

Code:

<rules>
include description figure friends*
include category minifig headwear
exclude category figure accessory
exclude description ~*,_*m,=*,brush,dryer
exclude !description hair,hat

This adds all hats and hair from the minifig category to the friends hats/hair one. But it might add more then you want. so some additional excludes might be needed to limit it again.

Personally I think they make more sense in figures than mini-figures given their unique design but that's just me.

I tried to reorganize the figures in the 1.6a and b version but there is a lot of overlap indeed.

Thank you for your time and work on such a great program, I love LDCad.

Thanks I love working on it
