  3867 Baseplate 16 x 16 with Island Pattern  [DAT]
 
I decided to try to create a patterned piece that was missing for ldraw, so here is the island baseplate seen in a couple of Pirate sets. This is my first try at making a part, so let me know if I'm doing something terribly wrong. Andy 0 Baseplate (...) (23 years ago, 19-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: 2618.dat Auqanaut Bubble Base (Updated)
 
(...) Generally, parts should be modelled right side up -- ie, in the orientation you would expect to see them in lego building instructions. With studs-up. For parts that don't have an obvious "upright" sense, your best bet is to look at other, (...) (23 years ago, 19-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: 2618.dat Aquanaut Bubble Base (Updated, Again)
 
(...) Look at an inverted slope brick file (like, ummm, (URL)) to see how the problem is solved using the p-files stud2a.dat and 2-4cyls.dat. stud2a.dat is the same as stud2.dat, except there are no edgelines around the base of the stud. 2-4cyls.dat (...)

  Re: Requesting another plug-in for LDDesignPad
 
(...) Actually, you could try this. First scale your primitives by 0.64. Then scale the parts by 0.64. Then fix the primitives inside the parts by rescaling the type 1 lines that pull in the primitives by 1.5625. I just tried this with ldglite on (...) (23 years ago, 19-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Requesting another plug-in for LDDesignPad
 
(...) Ah, I see your problem. You want to rescale the primitives internally, and not rescale them in the type 1 lines where they're included by the part files. If you were on linux, you could probably do this by adding a few lines of code to the (...) (23 years ago, 19-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  New Mecha & LDraw Files
 
Hi all, I just finished a new mecha. You can see it here: (URL) came from: Armored Core 2 Gundam Wing Xenosaga The model also hosts a new hand design (utilizes those small levers): (URL) I coverted all of my old inlined .DAT files into .MPD / .LDR (...)

Tore, Thanks now I don't have any excuse not to finish my clock ;-) Also could you please post 1-4ring9.dat that you used? Thanks in advance Chris (23 years ago, 19-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: Requesting another plug-in for LDDesignPad
 
Steve and Don, Thanks for the replies. I didn't know how to do that! Unfortunately, not only do I have to remake the _parts_(for which those tips would be useful), I have to recalculate the _primitives_, and your suggestions don't work on (...) (23 years ago, 19-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  LGEO -- how to "remove" parts from library?
 
Is there an easy way to instruct L3P/LGEO to ignore certain .inc files when compiling .pov files? It seems I've come across a part number where MLCAD's <part>.dat file is a newer part but LGEO's lg_<part>.inc file is a different, older part. If (...) (23 years ago, 18-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.ray)
 
  2618.dat Aquanaut Bubble Base (Updated, Again)  [DAT]
 
One question: The hollow studs on the outside rim couldn't be modeled with primitives above a certain level. Therefore if you look at them with LDView you see a smooth cylindar for the top and a 16 sided cylindar for the rest, due to primitve (...) (23 years ago, 18-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

  Re: 2618.dat Auqanaut Bubble Base (Updated)
 
oh shoot, thanks for pointing that out for me Burkhard. I concentrated so much on getting them in the part, I didn't even notice that they stick above. 2 quick fixes on the way. Also what's the standard for orientation, so I get it right In my next (...) (23 years ago, 18-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

  Re: Question about a new kind of stud
 
(...) I replied to your posting of the ring file. (...) Good question. :) (...) Since it is a stud, I'd say you should post stud9.dat as a primitive. But replace ring2a.dat with the two-line construction I posted in my earlier message. Also, if you (...) (23 years ago, 18-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)

  Re: New primitive: Ring 2 Small Hole  [DAT]
 
(...) There's a problem with this. In LDraw-world, "Ring X" is shorthand for "a ring with inner radius = X and outer radius = (X+1)". Your ring has IR=1/3 and OR=1, right? I don't think there's any way a ring can be constructed so that 3*IR = OR (...) (23 years ago, 18-Mar-02, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)
