Doug,

I think I beat you to that.  :)

Jaco,

Good luck.  That's a great model!

Hmm, yes it would have.  So would other parts with weird curvy surfaces like
the flame/seaweed piece (considering the fact that the first dragon's body
parts have all been completed, I'm surprised that I can't find that part
anywhere).


That one is under "Minifig Flame"

   I could try to have one of my students take a stab at it in 3DStudio or Rhino, though. If I can get ahold of one to look at I’ll put the part on my list of “requests”.

I doubt you’ll find it in stores anymore, but Bricklink prices are pretty reasonable, as long as you’re not going after the white ones.

Aack! This would’ve been a nice part to 3D Scan. But short of FedExing the part to me at my hotel (as I don’t have one on hand) that’s probably not gonna happen..

(I realize no one will really take my offer to model parts digitally seriously until I produce some DAT results... Hey, I’m working on it!!)

I downloaded copies of LDraw and MLcad a few days ago, and I’ve been building digital versions of a few of my models, but I ran into a couple of problems:

1. Using MLcad, I couldn’t get this piece to close flush to this piece. There was either a little gap at the top (just enough to be annoying), or a huge gap at the bottom (enough to really stand out). I haven’t tried out any of the other interfaces, but I juggled the numbers by hand a bit, and I was able to come up with a clean match after about 4 tries. If anyone is interested in borrowing the numbers, here’s the DAT file:

0 ROTATION CENTER 0 0 0 1 “Custom”
0 ROTATION CONFIG 0 0
1 0 -39 -48 -4 0 0 1 0 1 0 -1 0 0 30200.DAT
1 57 -76 -121 -5 0 0.686637 -0.727 0 0.727 0.686637 1 0 0 2418B.DAT
0

2. While I was building my latest model, I discovered that part #2463 has portions inside the lower corners that aren’t shading with the rest of the part. I noticed this because when I attached it to a different colored part, I could see the studs through the gaps on the outside of the base, but I couldn’t on the model (yes, I checked to make sure the studs were lined up correctly). If you look at this from either outside angle, you can see that the portions of the yellow studs that are sticking up inside of the part are still visible, but there’s a thin black line intersecting them, which is where the interior panel isn’t shading with the rest of it. Is that intentional?

0 ROTATION CENTER 0 0 0 1 “Custom”
0 ROTATION CONFIG 0 0
1 0 4.477 -131.572 -9 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 2463.DAT
1 14 -35.522 -106 1.477 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 3005.DAT
1 14 4.478 -106 -38.523 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 3005.DAT
0

3. And finally, this is a long shot, but I’ve got to ask anyways...does anyone have any plans to make a DAT file for the Ninja wrap?

If you’re only replying to part of this, please FUT only to the appropriate groups.

Dear folks!

As of today I have started to collect pieces for my model of the Deep Space
9 station from the same named Startrek series. I created this model way back
completely digitally in MLCad, but I am attempting to make it for real! The
model is featured on my Brickshelf account
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?m=sjaacko

So far I have sorted out many parts I own from my own collection to built it
and to see what I need.
I got the "space shuttle" wings and some other common parts I did not own.

I will keep you posted on the progress!

Jaco

Slick presentation, great work. One nit, you may want to mention what versions
of the software this tutorial prereqs. Also is there an order dependency on
which one has to be installed first?

good point. I'll fix it with the next site update. anyway to give a short answer
now: mlcad 3.11, lsynth 2.0, no specific order needed, but it is wise to install
mlcad first to spot errors with the part-library.


I agree with Kevin, you rock! Thanks for sharing!

Willy,
  THanks so much for this tutorial.  It is awesome that you put the work into
it.  Greatly appreciated.


I'm glad you like it! praise from the code-god itself saves my day :-)))
