  Re: Improving the Parts Tracker experience
 
(...) This already exists. It's called File Scan and is located on the PT Tools page. -Orion (21 years ago, 19-Nov-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: Slope Brick Round
 
(...) It looks like another CATEGORY is about to be introduced. Steve has added ROUND as a CATEGORY; see (URL) may make sense to start moving all of the round bricks to this category, if that's what this category is intended for.

  Re: Improving the Parts Tracker experience
 
(...) How about a search function, similar to the one on PartsRef? Enter a term, and the search engine checks the file names, part names, CATEGORY statements, and KEYWORDS statements for matches. The current PT search function is file name only. (...) (21 years ago, 19-Nov-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: Updating MLCad.ini
 
Hallo back! First we should contribute the work that doesn't have visible result - this is fine example. I didn't check how does it look yet, but i am heading to do it. About translating the .ini file comment - I was considering about it when (...) (21 years ago, 19-Nov-03, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Slope Brick Round
 
Following up on a comment by Chris Dee on part 33243 on the Tracker. . . There's this part 500 from the last parts update Slope Brick Round 1 x 6 Inverted The first mysterious thing about this name is that it starts with "slope", but then proceeds (...)

  Re: Improving the Parts Tracker experience
 
(...) This would definitely be a move in the wrong direction, unless there also continued to be an option to continue to see the whole list on one page. Quite aside from the hassle of having to page through material, the Parts Tracker is where (...) (21 years ago, 19-Nov-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: Improving the Parts Tracker experience
 
(...) Actually this already exists in a modified form on the LDraw website. Since all the members of the PT are also members of the LDraw website the use of the Private Message system. The snag is that you have to visit the Main Ldraw site to see if (...) (21 years ago, 19-Nov-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)

(...) A couple more, with some overlap. - Add a checkbox to the submit & review pages, to flag an item as needing admin attention. - Add a function to send email to other PT users, without exposing other users addresses. Need this both as a stand (...) (21 years ago, 19-Nov-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: Updated Part: 700.dat - Brick 10 x 20
 
(...) Actually this might be faster for rendering. If you use a display list (or similar construct) for each subfile you'll be using less display list memory overall, which might lead to faster rendering. If your renderering time is constrained by (...) (21 years ago, 19-Nov-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)
 
  Re: Wanted: Windscreen 41881 & x144
 
(...) Paul, the part looks great! Renders well in POV-Ray too. Thanks alot! Certified, so to say. ;) Oh, except for one thing. I don't know who came up with the part description "4x6x4" in the first place, but after a close inspection both the (...) (21 years ago, 19-Nov-03, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Updated Part: 700.dat - Brick 10 x 20
 
(...) One other thought: every time you add a subfile, it takes time for the renderer to render it. So every call to your 4-stud primitive is going to process more slowly than the equivalent 4 lines encoded directly. So if an added subfile only (...)

  Boat Weighted Keel 2 x 8 x 4
 
Has anyone ever attempted to make this part? (URL) for instance in (URL) am boldy trying to make this, but it is very difficult part. I think my version will be a mock-up. Jaco (21 years ago, 18-Nov-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

  Re: [Parts Tracker] PT-to-PN Authentication
 
(...) Franklin, Did you ever try deleting your ldraw.org cookie? I'd really like to get this worked out, but I shouldn't switch over the security if you won't be able to use the PT. Steve (21 years ago, 18-Nov-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Updated Part: 700.dat - Brick 10 x 20
 
(...) Well, that's 3 lines per instance. It takes 3 calls of a group of 4 to get to the same line savings as the group of 8. And 1 x 4 and 2 x 2 groups are common enough to get at least 7 lines saved. In the 700.dat you posted, just using 1 x 4 (...) (21 years ago, 18-Nov-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)
 
  Updating MLCad.ini
 
hi folks, before LDraw.org will come up with it's massive parts update 2003-3 I'd like to check that the current MLCad.ini is up to date. I added the new 2003-parts at the bottom of thier approriate section. once I got them confirmed I'll sort the (...) (21 years ago, 18-Nov-03, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.mlcad)
 
  Re: Updated Part: 700.dat - Brick 10 x 20
 
(...) I've been thinking about groups of stud3 and stud4, but found it not too commonly used as the stud.dat. Baseplates for example have no bottom studs. There is also a little problem with the odd numbers - four top studs corresponds to three (...) (21 years ago, 17-Nov-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)
 
  Re: Updated Part: 700.dat - Brick 10 x 20
 
(...) <SNIP> It looks like there could be significant use of stud4 groups as well. I'm also thinking that 1 x n rows of stud2 and stud 3 could be useful. Not as high in demand, but the stud4 groups would be really nice. (The version of 700.dat (...) (21 years ago, 17-Nov-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives)
