  Re: Why LDraw.org doesn't use ldconfig.ldr ???
 
(...) That's unfortunate (but what I thought I remembered). I didn't have a lot of luck updating the ldliterc.dat file used by the PT. Even after regenerating all the unofficial part images, 58119's image is still incorrect. I'll have to mess with (...) (17 years ago, 11-Sep-07, to lugnet.cad)

(...) If you don't (and I suspect that you don't), I'd be happy to help you compile it there (assuming the binaries don't work), but there's a significant catch. Even when rendering snapshots from the command line, it currently still requires a (...) (17 years ago, 11-Sep-07, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: lugnet.fun
 
Well, I guess being cornered for hours by so many LDraw gurus during the summer prompted me to exert some kind of revenge :-) But of course any Lugnet thread counting more than 20 messages is always worth investigating... Jean-Marc (17 years ago, 11-Sep-07, to lugnet.fun, lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: LDraw File Format Spec 1.0 DRAFT - MATRIX section updated
 
(...) Before I do that, can someone tell me if a 3D transformation matrix that includes shear is still homogeneous? If not, then I'm not going to put it in. --Travis (17 years ago, 11-Sep-07, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Why LDraw.org doesn't use ldconfig.ldr ???
 
(...) I missed that one. We've got ldview installed on the server? Hmm... Steve (17 years ago, 11-Sep-07, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Problem with part 30208.dat
 
Please upload this version to the PT. Only by this it can be corrected completly. It is now so many years an official part and nowbody has realized that it was wrong. Your version works fine as I can see. There are also missing inner lines. So (...) (17 years ago, 11-Sep-07, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: LDraw File Format Spec 1.0 DRAFT - MATRIX section updated
 
(...) Hey, could you perhaps toss in the word "homogeneous" when describing that matrix? I tend to find more complete explanations when I add that to my internet searches. Have fun, Don (17 years ago, 11-Sep-07, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Why LDraw.org doesn't use ldconfig.ldr ???
 
(...) Yeah, it might be time to make the switch. Ldglite has never been updated to use ldconfig.ldr (although it probably wouldn't difficult). It currently only supports the older ldlite config file ldliterc.dat with ldlite COLOR metacommands to (...) (17 years ago, 11-Sep-07, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Re: Why LDraw.org doesn't use ldconfig.ldr ???
 
(...) consider also a switch to LDView as rendering engine; it does a fine job for the MOTM: (URL) w. (17 years ago, 11-Sep-07, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Re: Why LDraw.org doesn't use ldconfig.ldr ???
 
(...) That's a good question. The Parts Tracker probably doesn't use ldconfig.ldr, because the image-generator uses a custom script to maintain a combined library of official & unofficial files, which predates ldconfig.ldr. I'm also not sure the (...) (17 years ago, 11-Sep-07, to lugnet.cad)

  Re: Problem with part 30208.dat
 
(...) Yep, I think you are right. The 30208.dat part appears to be 4 LDU too tall, unless there are more than one brick version of this part. Unfortunate, because to correct it will probably take a complete reworking of the part. -Matt :) ---...--- (...) (17 years ago, 11-Sep-07, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

  Problem with part 30208.dat
 
I recently CAD'd my Tequila Sunrise locomotive, which uses the part 30208.dat, Cylinder 4 x 4 Hemisphere Multifaceted. As you can see in the render, the part is overlapping the arch piece on the boiler: (URL) I built this locomotive in real life (...) (17 years ago, 10-Sep-07, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: LDraw File Format Spec 1.0 DRAFT - MATRIX section updated
 
(...) I think it's fine although I do have one fairly minor nitpick. I'd rather the top and bottom of the large 'brackets' be done using / and \ as follows / a b c x \ | d e f y | | g h i z | \ 0 0 0 1 / to avoid confusion with determinates which (...) (17 years ago, 10-Sep-07, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Ldraw to Maya
 
Hello, I have been looking at animating Ldraw models using a number of different 3D modeling systems with varying degrees of success. The program that I am currently working with is Maya. Can anyone give me information on importing Ldraw files into (...) (17 years ago, 10-Sep-07, to lugnet.cad)
 
  It's Another Tequila Sunrise
 
Being broke, I've decided to do a little CAD work. So I've designed some passenger cars to go a long with my streamlined steam locomotive I built some months ago.

  Re: L(EGO)Draw parts
 
(...) I see that the (URL) stl2dat page> has had its instructions updated. As I re-read them, I see that the -o5 option turns off generation of optional lines for concave faces (as of 1.13), and that they are on by default. Do you know if the (...)

  Re: LDraw File Format Spec 1.0 DRAFT - MATRIX section updated
 
(...) Based on comments made, I have updated the section of the spec related to part transformations. I'd appreciate it if the people involved in that discussion would take a look at the new text. Please note that there have been a number of other (...) (17 years ago, 10-Sep-07, to lugnet.cad)
