[LDPE] 1.8.86 Released (CSG Sphere / CSG bugfix)


[LDPE] 1.8.86 Released (CSG Sphere / CSG bugfix)
#1
Hey,

the new sphere from LDView is now used for LDPartEditor's CSG logic.
Here you see a CSG example:

Code:
0 BFC CERTIFY CCW

As always, you can download LDPE from this page:

Changelog:

(2 new features and 1 bug fix)

With this release you will be able to...
  • ...use the sphere mesh from LDView for CSG operations, too (!LPE CSG_ELLIPSOID).
  • ...adjust a unification threshold for the CSG optimizer (0 !LPE CSG_UNIFY_EPSILON 0.1).

The following critical issue is fixed:

  1. !LPE CSG_UNION "consumed" a few triangles. Other triangle defects could still occur, but only with very complex union intersections.

The program was tested intensively with "real world" files.
However, something can go wrong in about 140.000 lines of code.

I listen carefully to your requests and possible complaints. Please leave me a message, with your thoughts and wishes to further improve the software.

LDPE is a 3D CAD application: The overall system requirements are higher. While I recommend to use a powerful 64-bit multicore system, it could be possible, to run LDPE on older machines as well.

System Requirements:

Minimum System Requirements:
  • OpenGL 2.1 compatible Graphics Card
  • Operating System (64-bit): Windows [7 or newer], Linux [e.g. Ubuntu Linux >=14.4], Mac OS X [>=10.6]
  • CPU: Multicore-Processor e.g. Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Athlon II (>2.0Ghz)
  • RAM: 4GB
  • Video-Memory: 1 GB
  • Free Disk Space: 150 MB
Recommended Requirements:
  • Operating System (64bit): Windows 7,8,10,11, Linux [e.g. Ubuntu Linux >=14.4], Mac OS X [>=10.6]
  • OpenGL 3.3 compatible Graphics Card
  • CPU: Multicore-Processor with 4 cores (or more)
  • RAM: >4 GB
  • Video-Memory: >1 GB
  • Free Disk Space: 500 MB
  • For a faster start, LDPartEditor and the LDraw™ library should be installed on an SSD.
