  Re: colors completeness
 
(...) Well the problem with bleys is that L3P doesn't just replace them, it deletes them. Fortunately it doesn't seem to have this problem with parts in colours greater than or equal to 256. Fortunately, l3p colour definitions check to make sure the (...) (19 years ago, 3-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: colors completeness
 
(...) Neat. Can you explain what you mean by povray include file? A separate file from the model generated by L3P, that contains color definitions? How do you prevent L3P from replacing your custom colors with the default gray, as it does with other (...) (19 years ago, 3-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: colors completeness
 
(...) Actually, in conjunction with Bricksmith's "Export Steps" option, LDView could be used to render each step (since each step is exported as a separate file). As recently discussed here, it is possible to run the current version of LDView on (...) (19 years ago, 3-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: LDView 3.1 on Mac OS X!
 
(...) Absolutely. Before I started using LDView and realized that Bricksmith could also use its Unofficial folder, any and all unofficial files I downloaded just got dumped in parts. To chime in on the filename length issue, my LDraw folder got real (...) (19 years ago, 3-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)
 
  Re: colors completeness
 
(...) I find it easier just to use a different colour for bleys so I can set it up properly in a povray include file. I always use 263 for dark bley but don't yet have a standard for light bley. Tim (19 years ago, 3-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: colors completeness
 
(...) My apologies if true. I was going off Steve's assertion in the LUGNET posting I linked to -- I haven't used L3P myself (only LDView). -- joshua (19 years ago, 3-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: LDView 3.1 on Mac OS X!
 
(...) As a user (and a programmer; though I've yet to do any work on LDView), I prefer the way Travis is doing things. Not that that makes it right; I'm just saying that you can't (and shouldn't) lump the users and the programmers into two competing (...) (19 years ago, 3-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)
 
  Re: colors completeness
 
(...) Correct. As I noted in my other reply, the only way I've been able to render those colors (and a few others) with L3P/POV-ray is to replace the color codes with their 0x02RRGGBB style equivalents, and that's not really the most desirable (...) (19 years ago, 3-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: colors completeness
 
--snip-- (...) L3p doesn't support it as far as I can tell... in fact L3P refuses to give bley or dark bley any colour at all. --snip-- Tim (19 years ago, 3-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad)

Anybody know this builder? Truely impressive, and I still can't figure out the front cockpit area. Amazingly accurate (well, based on my really out of date memories anyway). (URL) Brian Davis (19 years ago, 3-Mar-07, to lugnet.space)
 
  Re: colors completeness
 
(...) Hi Lutz, most excellent to see some questions from you; it's been a long time since we've conversed. (...) The LDRAW "group" (if you will) has created a color standard in ldconfig.ldr, a text file describing common settings to be used by LDRAW (...) (19 years ago, 3-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Power Functions Element Pics (inc Plugs)
 
(...) yep you're right. i allready have a few mods planned. i'm going to see if i can't fit a step motor into a train motor case among other things. ondrew (19 years ago, 3-Mar-07, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)
 
  Re: colors completeness
 
(...) I think it would be nice if Bricksmith read the ldconfig.ldr file to load color definitions, or if it offered a pane in the preferences or color picker to define new colors. Best of all, if it had an interface like that to read and update (...) (19 years ago, 3-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Re: Need (working) program to generate instruction pictures
 
(...) yes, I just thought the export option of Bricksmith just would generate pictures, but ended up with single step LDRs. They are of use for rendering, indeed. makes still some work... (...) Yes, I have done as a bypass so far. (...) Ah, thanks. (...) (19 years ago, 3-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)
 
  Re: Need (working) program to generate instruction pictures
 
(...) I'd like something like that too. Although I don't think there's currently anything that will make the whole instructions for you, Bricksmith's "Export Steps" option may be a useful start. It creates a separate LDraw file for each step in your (...) (19 years ago, 3-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)

Hi, I have some questions about all those colors. I am using BrickSmith on Mac, I do not know if MLCAD does offer more colors. Bricksmith is missing the newer transparent dark orange and medium blue colors and some rarely used solid ones as bluish (...) (19 years ago, 3-Mar-07, to lugnet.cad)
