 | | LDDP Coplaner Checks
|
|
Now that the coplaner quad is defined in the LDraw spec by planer normals, the dist and det checks used by LDDP (and L3P) are now outdated. I think these checks should be removed, are there any users out there that would like to see them stay? (...) (15 years ago, 16-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad)

(...) --snip-- (...) You are right here. In 3D it gets a bit more complicated and, as far as I know, a mirror and rotation corresponds to a mirroring on a plane and a rotation within that plane. I'm sure there is a way to unravel it all but it's (...) (15 years ago, 16-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad)

Hi Kevin, Here's the problem. A mirror plus a rotation can look just like a mirror across another axis. Ugly 2D ASCII art example: .|b --- .|. Mirror the b to the left. d|. --- .|. Rotate 180 degrees. .|. --- .|p That looks just like you mirrored (...) (15 years ago, 15-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Hi Tim, Thanks. Math is not my specialty, so all help is appreciated. If the user has rotated the mirrored submodel, doesn't the vector normal then also get rotated? The hope was there was a way to separate the mirrored aspect of the rotation (...) (15 years ago, 15-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Thanks. I'll use that one then. Let me take advantage of this thread to suggest the inclusion of another element in the lsynth mpd: the Fibre Optics Cable x400. This is the one that came with the RCX, Spybots and several Exoforce sets, has the (...) (15 years ago, 15-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad.mlcad)

(...) You can also use SR 3D Builder to build your mirrored/symmetric models. You build a side and the program will build the other, mirrored one. It automatically substitute and rotate non symmetric parts and is compatible with lDraw/MLCad file (...) (15 years ago, 15-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Not sure if this helps but... If you solve (M11+1) x + M12 y = - M13 M21 x + (M22+1) y = - M23 and then normalise the vector (x,y,1) the result will be a vector normal to the mirroring plane. To test that you indeed have a rotation/mirror you (...) (15 years ago, 15-Jun-09, to lugnet.cad)
