  Re: Opinions needed for Color and Edge Values
 
(...) I'd like to hear some opinions on how we do define backwards compatibility? Considering that most user built their models using MLCad (no idea which color numbers are supported by Leo, Bricksmith or SR3D) which comes with very limited color (...) (16 years ago, 25-Nov-08, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Opinions needed for Color and Edge Values
 
(...) The "besides the color code" isn’t a collateral damage but the main problem! We cannot ship the TLG numbering in a simple language file. Think about a blue car colored with LDraw code 1. Loading the TLG colors as language file you would (...) (16 years ago, 25-Nov-08, to lugnet.cad)
 
  LDraw (and LDraw.org) questions
 
A couple of questions regarding LDraw and LDraw.org. 1) Will the LDraw specification ever support normal vectors to facilitate polygon smoothing? 2) One of the pages on LDraw.org mentions an Official Model Repository. Where can I find this? Thanks! (...) (16 years ago, 25-Nov-08, to lugnet.cad)

  Re: LGEO update
 
(...) Sorry, I was mixing up different files. The error in 32062 was that the declare for "32062_clear" said "32064_clear". Maybe you have already fixed it. The one with the missing semicolon is actually lg_4262. It is on line 493. (16 years ago, 24-Nov-08, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: Opinions needed for Color and Edge Values
 
(...) This is done with two exceptions to follow the BL naming scheme. Teal is not one of the BL color names, but the color values for LDraw Teal are almost the same as Dark_Tuquoise, according to Peeron and my own observation. Light_Red is also not (...) (16 years ago, 24-Nov-08, to lugnet.cad)

  Re: Opinions needed for Color and Edge Values  [DAT]
 
(...) Hi Willy, Why so many colors defined in present ldconfig.ldr ((URL) are missing from your chart? Otherwise, I had a look at the defined colors (LDraw, 0 to 28), imho there is not enough contrast for brown (6) and Violet (22). These colors (...) (16 years ago, 24-Nov-08, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: LGEO update
 
(...) Yeah, that's what I was remembering. -Mike (16 years ago, 24-Nov-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Re: LGEO update
 
(...) Oh, I never knew about that. I will make a #declare switch for the logo to display LGEO or LEGO and set it to display as LEGO by default. It will be included in the next update, so for now you have to remove the translate statements. Lutz (16 years ago, 24-Nov-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Re: LGEO update
 
(...) I remember the same thing in reference to an LDraw display at Legoland California. They didn't want 3D LDraw renders shown in the park with "LDraw" written on the studs. That was a number of years ago. --Travis (16 years ago, 24-Nov-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Re: LGEO update
 
(...) IIRC, there was discussion a long time ago, to the effect that LEGO *insisted* that the studs correctly display the logo, otherwise they *would not* lend their approval. You'd have to dig deep for the thread. -Mike (16 years ago, 24-Nov-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Re: LGEO update
 
(...) I suspected that might be the reason, and I figured out how to do the swap. However, POV export is a new feature of the upcoming LDView 4.0, along with LGEO support in that POV export. I'd prefer if there were an easy way that I could force (...) (16 years ago, 24-Nov-08, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
 
  Re: LGEO update
 
(...) Hi Travis, I did not want the LEGO text for copyright issues. In ld_defs.inc, just remove the translate statements at the end of declarations for letters E and G to create original logo as L3P uses. Lutz (16 years ago, 23-Nov-08, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: LGEO update
 
(...) I have a question about the stud logos. The code in lg_defs.inc makes it look like they should say LEGO, but they in fact say LGEO. (The letter comments are in the order L...E...G...O), but the E and G have translations inserted to swap them. (...) (16 years ago, 23-Nov-08, to lugnet.cad)

  Best option for real-time viewing on the web
 
I was wondering what the best option was for real-time viewing on the web. I notice there's a utitlity on LDraw.org, but it requires regestering a component. I'm thinking that VRML is still the best option. -Mike (16 years ago, 23-Nov-08, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: LGEO update
 
(...) There is a typo at line 176 in "lg_4858.inc". The vector needs to be closed with a greater than sign instead of a less than sign. -Mike (16 years ago, 23-Nov-08, to lugnet.cad)
 
  Re: LGEO update
 
(...) Ok, in 3647 the lg_angle is obsolete. in 3649 you can switch the numbers divided for a workaround. #declare lg_angle1=acos((0.3+...R_SPACE)); (...) I cannot find a missing semicolon in this file? I have fixed an other error in this file (...) (16 years ago, 23-Nov-08, to lugnet.cad)
