Title annotation in LPub3D


Title annotation in LPub3D
#1
Hi all,

A while ago I posted this thread:
https://forums.ldraw.org/thread-17401.html

Now I am struggling with the annotation for Technic Beams.

I haven't got a clue how to write a regular expression, so is there anyone here who can?

What I am aiming at is that the length of beams is annotated for beams of length 3 or longer and not the lift arms or bent beams.
[Edit]: and including the half or thin beams, but not the modified ones.

Thanks in advance!

OK, so I got a bit further using this website https://regex101.com/
I got all beams to show just the lengt, but also from those which I do not want, like the liftarms.

Now I have this: ^Technic Beam\s+(\d+\.*\d*)\s*.*$

Any thoughts on how to exclude all modified beams?

Hi Jaco

I solved the problem with the freeform annotation.
I just added all the parts I wanted to display in the parameter file "Free Form PLI Annotation" and commented out the lines in the "Part Title PLI Annaotation" with #.

Ah, yes. I've thought of that too, but seems a lot of work to maintain.
But I could give that some more thought using an Excel sheet or something to fill the file.
Tnx!

Hi
It's only a bit of work once, but how many parts are there that you want. I already have the beams, the axles are working well original, and maybe a few parts of my own like pneumatic hoses.
If nothing goes right, go left.

True. I was looking for a more convenient way, but I guess working with Freeform is a better option and in the end faster.

Hello everybody,

I'm not sure whther anybody still takes notice of this thread, but why not try?

I've been reading your thread https://forums.ldraw.org/thread-17401.html Jaco some days ago. And it solved one of my problems, concerning the question how to only show the length of certain bricks or plates.
What I found much more interesting was the second question you posted, concerning the requirement only to show the length of the longer bricks (10, 12, 14 ...). Unfortunately the thread ends without an answer.

Did you find a solution for this problem?

Hi Andreas,

Still reading.
At the time it was important for me to achieve certain things.
At the moment, I have no need for it, so I am no longer looking for a solution.

I know it it possible, but it is up to someone who is able to write a regular expression for it.

For now, I think Johann's answer is what you are looking for, though that is a bit of work: freeform annotation.

You could also ask the question at the Github pages for LPub3D and its support.
