(...) I'd really appreciate being able to select predefined paper sizes. If eventually people ask for arbitrary sizes you could always include a 'custom' option in which to select the desired size, but I believe that for the average user the (...) (15 years ago, 15-Sep-09, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Until I figure out how to control arbitrary size, I think so. I should just (hah!) change the dialog to only allow the paper sizes. The program is supposed to round up to the next whole paper size, but obviously this doesn't work right, right (...) (15 years ago, 14-Sep-09, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I also discovered this a while back while working on LD4DStudio 1.1, it's seems weird at first. But the change is really logical when you think about it. They basically moved the gamma correction to the ini/command line because it only applies (...) (15 years ago, 11-Sep-09, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

| | Colors in POV-Ray 3.7 Beta
|
|
If you render LDView's POV output using the POV-Ray 3.7 beta release, you will see that the colors all look washed out. This seems to be due to a difference in the way that POV-Ray 3.7 handles gamma correction. There are two things that you need to (...) (15 years ago, 10-Sep-09, to lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) Does this mean we may get paper formats instead of having to input width & height? Every time I try to make an instruction booklet with LPub I need to look up exactly what size an A4 or A5 is... Jetro (15 years ago, 10-Sep-09, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I tracked the source of this problem down. As far as I can tell, it's only happening with substituted primitives. Please let me know if you see any duplication of other parts of the model. I have fixed this in my source code, and it will be (...) (15 years ago, 10-Sep-09, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Good job in sorting this out (Thanks to Jetro for *the big hint* :^). LPub provides a default orientation for all parts, which does not necessarily provide the same orientation used by LEGO, thus the override for known sensors in LPub's (...) (15 years ago, 10-Sep-09, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Thanks for the bug report. I have a few comments and a question. First of all, it's expected to be quite a bit larger with LGEO disabled, since it has to include the part geometry, while the LGEO version just references LGEO parts for their (...) (15 years ago, 9-Sep-09, to lugnet.cad)

Yes, I did state at (URL) that I couldn't model this piece due to my lack of it - but the Front Loader appeared convienently (sp?) in the store and I had all the cash for it, so... now I have modelled the 'O-beam' as well. Enough story-telling: I (...) (15 years ago, 9-Sep-09, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts, FTX)

(...) No worries! Apparently the light sensor and the touch sensor had been overridden in the pli.mpd which caused them to be different from the rest. I like that orientation better so added all the other sensor to that file as well. Works great. I (...) (15 years ago, 9-Sep-09, to lugnet.cad)

| | Re: Mixed Orientation of NXT Sensors in LPub

(...) Gus, Sorry I missed this. The default orientation of parts in the PLI is based on the orientation of the part as authored. These two sensors parts were defined in different orientations. Jetro is correct. The purpose of pli.mpd is to allow you (...) (15 years ago, 9-Sep-09, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Cool. Most of the renders I've posted on Flickr recently have been prepared with LDView too. I add radiosity, but I haven't changed the color library. (Indeed, the images attest to the fact that I've had trouble with the trans-gray "smoke" (...) (15 years ago, 8-Sep-09, to lugnet.cad, FTX)
