Hi Dean, (...) Philo (16 years ago, 31-Aug-08, to lugnet.cad)
 
  3069bp28 - thanx/update
 
Willy, thanks for the help with this first part, I started fixing some of the issues you mentioned and then before I knew it started working on the silver rings (they been hard since I've been trying to us 3-4ring types to model the section). I have (...) (16 years ago, 31-Aug-08, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: LDconfig.ldr - missing colors
 
This is an area that I took interest in several months back. Most of the Peeron or Bricklink color values do not display well when they are rendered on the screen. Most of the LDRAW colors are a different value, so that the rendered color looks like (...) (16 years ago, 31-Aug-08, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: LPub and non callout sub parts used multiple times
 
(...) Hi Dean, It is now, as is finishing up the centimeters stuff. Please that submodels and their mirrored counterparts will be treated as two different models, even though they have the same name. Kevin (16 years ago, 31-Aug-08, to lugnet.cad)
 
  LPub and non callout sub parts used multiple times
 
Hi Kevin. I've just created instructions for several of my models, and LPub has added a set of pages for the same sub part for each time it is used (in the same set) Can it detect this and only add them once with a "x2" on it? I have told it to (...) (16 years ago, 31-Aug-08, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: LDconfig.ldr - missing colors
 
(...) Hmm ... I found some sources how the colors are defined: (URL) it looks like LDraw colors (URL) still refer to a color chart which was defined long before we got our hands on the official LEGO colors at (URL) and are the reason why our values (...)

  LPub and the unit of measurement.. (and friends)
 
(Sounds like an adventure story :) Hi Kevin. I have just tried using LPub 4.0.0.1 and have found a problem when the "Default units" is set to centimetres (from the initial setup). I assume this is down to the size entered into the page setup? Can it (...) (16 years ago, 31-Aug-08, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: LDconfig.ldr - missing colors
 
(...) POVray can, of course, do all these colours and is likely to be the most frequent user of the colour definitions file. Some of us have fiddled around with pearl before ((URL) (16 years ago, 31-Aug-08, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: LDconfig.ldr - missing colors
 
(...) I'm pretty sure that the (2006-2007?) LSC agreed to leave the contents of ldconfig.ldr up to the LDraw part admins. We saw it as our job to specify the format of the !COLOUR meta-command, but not to have anything to do with the actual list of (...) (16 years ago, 30-Aug-08, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: LDconfig.ldr - missing colors
 
(...) Take a look at the !COLOUR spec here: (URL) is covered, along with rubber, chrome, matte metallic, and metal. Glitter transparency isn't, and probably should be. Of course, just because official LDraw colors can be defined with these (...) (16 years ago, 30-Aug-08, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
 
  Re: Jets, Props, and Choppers: Alternate Models with Instructions
 
(...) terrific models and top-notch, professional-grade instructions (as always), jim!! my favorites are 'lamprey', 'bi-plane' and the red fighter-jet alternate for the 4955 big rig (c'mon and give that sucker a name!). keep up the awesome work!!

Hi gang, LPub4.0.0.1 is now available here: (URL) There are many bug fixes (especially LPub metacommands being put in the wrong place). My thanks to those whom fed me bug reports. Geoff, please try this new version. I'm pretty sure I've fixed the (...) (16 years ago, 30-Aug-08, to lugnet.cad) !

  Jets, Props, and Choppers: Alternate Models with Instructions
 
Here are samples from a few of the instructions I've posted to (URL) Flickr> recently.

  LDconfig.ldr - missing colors
 
Hi gang, playing around with colors I was floored by the fact that we do not have a LDraw color number or RGBs for quite a lot of LEGO colors. In addition our RGBs sometimes differ a lot from the official colors: (URL) remember the time when we were (...)

  Re: Help with Patterns
 
(...) Unfortunately, I don't think that T-junctions can be made visible in MLCad, since I don't think it has a wireframe mode. However, if you use LDraw Design Pad with LDView in polling mode, you can set LDView to wireframe, and the T-junctions (...) (16 years ago, 27-Aug-08, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)
