  Re: L3P-Bug using LGEO
 
(...) Surely the very fact it is .ldr instead of .dat differentiates it from the lego parts. MLCad doesn't recognise 3010.ldr as a valid part, and it allows both blah.dat and blah.ldr in the same mpd file. (19 years ago, 14-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: L3P-Bug using LGEO
 
(...) I agree with that - it's much easier for the user to eliminate such conflicts (eg call the set file set-926.ldr) than expect the software to make such decisions for you. ROSCO (19 years ago, 14-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)
 
  Re: L3P-Bug using LGEO
 
(...) Isn't there an official order of preference for where a file comes from (eg. check MPD firsrt, directory second and parts directory third)? If so then the most sensible way of processing would be to go through that, which would ensure no (...) (19 years ago, 14-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)
 
  Re: L3P-Bug using LGEO
 
I agree and disagree with this. I agree that it would be good (for now) if L3P only substituted LGEO parts for files with a .dat extension. Or, even better, if (a) the file being substituted has the UNOFFICIAL/LDRAWORG meta-statement and states it (...) (19 years ago, 14-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)
 
  L3P-Bug using LGEO
 
hi lars, looks like L3P doesn't distinguish between part-files (.dat) and scene-files (.ldr) when I use LGEO parts. have a look at the following pic. when I render a .mpd (which containes the subfile 926.ldr refering to the sets number) without LGEO (...)

  MOC: Notre Dame, Paris
 
Hello All: This is my first post to the newsgroups. I wasn't sure if I was allowed to cross-post to other groups; let me know if that is discouraged. I've started working on a minifig-scale model of the Notre Dame cathedral in Paris. I've got a (...) (19 years ago, 14-Nov-05, to lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.build.arch, lugnet.cad.dat.models)

  Re: Tweening (and some Backwards Engineering)
 
(...) Hi Tore, Finding the angles is quite complicated and depends on the choice of how you express the angles. The main way of expressing an angle are Euler angles ((URL) however there is another way to express angles which is slightly more (...) (19 years ago, 12-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Tweening (and some Backwards Engineering)
 
I've been thinking a little about Tweening the last two weeks. Linear Motion Tweening between two keyframes is very simple I guess. If x(0)=50 and x(1)=250, then x(0.1)=50+(250-50)*0.1=70. "kx+m". But then I came to the rest of the LDraw Type 1 (...) (19 years ago, 11-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Late night in the Moscow Metro
 
Hi all, Recently I've become quite interested (a little addicted might even be more accurate) to Russian trains and Soviet architecture. Both have their own unique traits and styles which appear pretty much nowhere outside the former Soviet Bloc. (...)

  Re: Question about image generation
 
(...) I forgot to mention -- the generator uses the 0 COLOR statement to define custom color values. But I don't think color 47 is tweaked very much. Steve (19 years ago, 10-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  Re: Question about image generation
 
(...) The key bit is the -W option -- it draws thick lines. The $scale is the width of the line, in pixels. For the ldraw/partsref/peeron images, we use -W3 (but we also set scale to -S3, for a 300% zoom). -Q is supposed to result in higher-quality, (...) (19 years ago, 9-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: LDraw files for Large models/scenes?
 
(...) Datsville lives up to that claim. I'm not sure where the "official" version is located at the moment, but I have a copy stored off-line. Play well, Jacob (19 years ago, 9-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Question about image generation
 
(...) You can also use "Save snapshot" in LDView to generate a similar image. If you set the edge lines to be always black, and set the Field of View to be 0.1, you'll get something like so: (URL) Cobbs (19 years ago, 9-Nov-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  LDraw files for Large models/scenes?
