 | | Alternate MOC files with a challenge
|
|
Hi! The last couple of years I have tried to inspire many people to build there own alternate MOCs. Although I've seen quite a lot of these cool models there are still many people only asking for instructions or CAD files. Before I am going to work (...)

(...) We can use the part number x726, which I already have "reserved" for this part. See (URL) I assume your part is BFD:ed and makes much better use of primitives than mine, originally authored back in 1998. Most likely better oriented than mine, (...)

I have created another new (old) part: Trailer Base 4 x 16 x 1 It's on the parts tracker as x510.dat (URL) left out the inforcementrib underneat, which is nonfunctional in CAD. I used the same orientation as the other trailer base (968.dat). (...) (19 years ago, 22-Jul-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

There is also an older program called 'bmp2dat' (I think) which a search on the LDraw site should (...) (19 years ago, 22-Jul-05, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

|

I noticed that the old 1 x 8 brick without centerstuds has not been created for LDraw, yet. This part is not even listed in the Peeron database either. This variant is used in the CA period a lot, although I have a red brick which seems ABS to me. (...) (19 years ago, 22-Jul-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) OK, the problem is starting with road.ldr. That makes it the first model in the file, which is always what L3P uses to generate the POV file. And because you only added road.ldr and figure.ldr to the 3rd model, it never gets rendered. What you (...) (19 years ago, 22-Jul-05, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I must not be doing something right, because I tried it again. Here's what I'm doing. Model 1 is a "road.ldr" which is a grey, straight road plate and a stop sign on it. Model 2 is a "figure.ldr" consisting of a simple minifig. Here are the (...) (19 years ago, 22-Jul-05, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Chris, I've never used L3PAO, so I cannot say. In MLCad I'd try creating a new model in your current MPD that uses Model 1, and Model 2. I'd use MLCad's MPD ordering menu to make sure your top level model (your new model) is the first in the (...) (19 years ago, 21-Jul-05, to lugnet.cad)

I seem to have a problem with Mlcad and importing models and rendering them. Let me give you an example... Model #1 would be a road, tree, and roadsign. Model #2 would either be a minifig or a car. NewModel: The saved file of Model 1 & 2. Now in (...) (19 years ago, 20-Jul-05, to lugnet.cad)
