  Re: Proposed solution for Building Instruction scale issue
 
(...) You are welcome. Is there going to be an end? I've done enough applications in my life to know that my own philosphic perspectives on what makes a great tool are not as strong as the group philosphy. As the implementor of the tool, I only use (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad)

Kevin, Overall, I think the more well thought out and defined controls there are the better the tool. And I wanted to take this oppertunity to thank you for having this open dialog, it is very reasuring and likely to produce a more robust tool in (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad)

  Re: Lego Logo Variants
 
(...) Hey, that rocks! Those pics are nice and big. I will not be doing the old-style logo. That is a totally different font and I'm not going to rework the whole thing. Not at the present, anyway. And I didn't realize that the yellow border was (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: List of LEGO Logo Parts
 
(...) Cool- I'll do that one too. Either that or someone else can once I release the logo parts. (...) Thanks for the info. I'll need a better pic, but I'm sure someone else has one. I'll look into the curved flag too. -- Tony Hafner www.hafhead.com (22 years ago, 16-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: I need a list of parts...
 
(...) Excellent- and could you please measure the size of the logo in LDU? And give me some info to help position it? Either that, or you can do the part yourself after I release the logo subparts. (...) Don't worry about the scan- I'm not (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Seeking input on reused user parts in building instructions
 
Hi Will, As I was writing the original post, I realized that I had a question for myself, does the X4 go on the image itself, or does it go in the web pages generated by LPub. If I make it go into the web pages, then I think it leaves more (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.inst)

  Re: Seeking input on reused user parts in building instructions
 
While it is a great idea to supress the multiple rendering of the same steps, I'm not sure there is really any added value to displaying the "x4" on the last step. I find that I always take a pass through the final rendered instruction images, in my (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.inst)

My Ldraw 0.27 has a problem showing it. It shows 37 (visible) steps, then stops. It looks half-finished. Am I doing sth wrong? I pasted Mr Blessing's dat into a file esprit.dat and showed it with LDraw. I then had to press Enter about 50 times to (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.models)

  Re: Proposed solution for Building Instruction scale issue
 
-sc... I figured there was something technically stopping you, I wonder if a quick prescan of the sub model that reveals no rot steps could lead to a differnt render path etc... but that's a different topic. Back to the scaling. BTW I am thinking of (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad)

Looks good, Patty! I can see this being added to LDraw.org sometime after BricksWest with my assistance, or sooner with someone like Jacob's.

  Re: Proposed solution for Building Instruction scale issue
 
Steve, On the stepclock topic. L3P<->POV-Ray stepclock mechanism does not take rotation steps into account, so I cannot use it. I assume you are proposing that I use the same scale across the entire set of building instructions, right? I chose to (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Proposed solution for Building Instruction scale issue
 
I just ran into this problem a couple nights ago when I was rendering steps for a train set. Why not jump right in and determine the LDU per pixel ratio for the largest camera radius and apply that number to scale all the images. Each image size (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad)
