  Re: "Y Column all zeroes"
 
(...) Ah, it does it if I do autofix all errors, but doesn't give me the option to fix individual y column errors (URL) have submitted it to the SF tracker: (URL) again. (19 years ago, 28-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: Announcing Bricksmith for Macintosh
 
(...) One thing, though. LDView can't be used to make instructions without using LPub, since it doesn't itself support the STEP command. And of course, LPub hasn't been ported to the Mac. --Travis (19 years ago, 28-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)
 
  Re: Announcing Bricksmith for Macintosh
 
(...) Yes, LDGLite or LDView (both available for OS X). This renderers can produce very good rendering at high resolutions. -Orion (19 years ago, 28-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)
 
  Re: Announcing Bricksmith for Macintosh
 
(...) Oh Joe, what a can of worms that is. You're absolutely right that POV-Ray is useless for instructions. It's very nice for the picture on the front of the box, but it doesn't outline edges. The good news is that there is a solution. The (...) (19 years ago, 28-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)
 
  Re: Announcing Bricksmith for Macintosh
 
(...) Thank you for the compliments, Andrew. I've admired Mac Brick CAD for a long time, and I'm impressed by all the work you've put into behind-the-scenes operation. I do Cocoa programming at work, but I have no professional experience with (...) (19 years ago, 28-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)
 
  Re: "Y Column all zeroes"
 
(...) I just tested the above code in my copy of LDDP and it fixes the error. This feature has been implemented since 1.5.3, what version are you using? -Orion (19 years ago, 28-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: "Y Column all zeroes"
 
(...) Every other error ive seen, it can fix. I always use LDDP for part authoring anyway. (19 years ago, 28-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: LDraw Animation - Why MPD?
 
(...) Not really a big deal, i could change my mind if that's too difficult for me to program. (...) It's much worse than a new syntax. A whole new, entirely different programming paradigm to learn. A whole new program semantic. Almost any (...) (19 years ago, 28-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.ray, lugnet.animation)
 
  Re: "odd" rings
 
(...) Yes, use 2 rings. Rings and cones are one of the few exceptions we make regarding overlapping quads/triangles. Check out this Excel spreadsheet that will show you the scaling you need to use for the rings: (URL) (19 years ago, 28-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives, lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: "Y Column all zeroes"
 
(...) Hi Dean, LDraw Design Pad will detect and fix these errors for you. You can get the latest version here: (URL) (19 years ago, 28-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  LDD 1.3 - get it while you can
 
If you uninstalled LDD 1.3 and want to get it back: (URL) I can't seem to get it to work with 1.4 installed. Worked fine after I uninstalled both and started from scratch. Ahh... missed that "all bricks, any color" palette. Marc Nelson Jr. (URL) (...) (19 years ago, 28-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.general, FTX)
 
  "Y Column all zeroes"  [DAT]

  "odd" rings
 
Erm... I need to do a ring with an inner radius of 10 and an outer of 14. My reckoning means I need a factor of 4 and a ring with an inner diameter of 2.5. Which doesn't exist. Can anyone think of a way of doing this with a single ring or do I have (...) (19 years ago, 27-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts.primitives, lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: Micro Moonbase Starter for LDD
 
(...) Thanks, Joe. I don't know about you, but I'm really hoping that they will add some baseplates (or at least some larger plates) to the next round of parts for LEGO Factory. -Joel (19 years ago, 27-Aug-05, to lugnet.space, lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Re: How do I get these new applications working?
 
(...) Mac OS X is case-insensitive. It is possible to get a case-sensitive file system, but the user would have to know what they are doing and many things would break. I remember some old LDraw apps being written case senstive so that if it was one (...) (19 years ago, 27-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
 
  Re: LDGLite (on OS X) and Bricksmith
 
(...) ImageMagick is available for OS X, but it isn't installed by default. And I think it requires X11, which also isn't installed by default. ftp://ftp.imagemagic...k/binaries (19 years ago, 27-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)
 
  Re: How do I get these new applications working?
 
(...) Yes, exactly. The LDraw file is case-insensitive so the onus is on the programmer to provide for this on case sensitive OS's -Orion (19 years ago, 27-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
 
  Re: How do I get these new applications working?
 
(...) I don't have a Mac, but if your file system is case sensitive (like most Unix file systems are), then that might be the cause of the problem. LDraw files assume a case-insensitive file system, or an application that's smart enough to deal with (...) (19 years ago, 27-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
 
  Re: LDGLite (on OS X) and Bricksmith
 
(...) If you ever get ambitious, LDView has automatic tiling support built in to generate images of arbitrary size. You can take a look at my tiling code (although it's pretty spread out, which might make it difficult to track down all of it). (...) (19 years ago, 27-Aug-05, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)
 
  Micro Moonbase Starter for LDD
 
I uploaded this to LEGO Factory yesterday at lunch, but by now I've gotten tired of waiting for it to be approved, so I'm taking matters into my own, er, web server. :) (URL) Moonbase Starter>> This is a starter for micro-moonbase modules folling (...)
