Hi, I tried the installation, works fine, but get same error as with the tip of Larry: "No matching in 'material', undeclared identifier 'LDXColor117440511_slope'" Any idea? Thx, adrian (14 years ago, 23-May-11, to lugnet.cad.ray)

Hi Larry, no, Ben wasn't there, I forgot the name of the guy you've visited, I will ask Ralph, maybe he remembers. Your tip with the library path helped a bit, the error I asked about doesn't show up again, but now there is a new one: "No matching (...) (14 years ago, 23-May-11, to lugnet.cad.ray)

Hi all, I'm going to be working on the website over the next few weeks. I suck at graphic design, I think this is a perfect to solicit ideas/designs for the website theme. No coding experience is required. I can handle that aspect if needed. -Orion (14 years ago, 22-May-11, to lugnet.cad)

An estimation made by JC Tchang gives 2433 parts for LDD and 4506 for LDraw. These figures include patterned parts, but not the 550 LDraw shortcut parts. Philo (14 years ago, 20-May-11, to lugnet.cad)

--snip-- (...) The newer versions have a free build mode with all parts available in all colours. I'd guess that LDraw has many more non-minifig parts but LDD may pip it now for total due to the proliferation of minifig parts. Tim (14 years ago, 20-May-11, to lugnet.cad)

I am glad import function for LDraw in LDD has been restored. For me it didn't work a while. Pitty not all parts are in and parts that are in LDD get removed now and then. (14 years ago, 19-May-11, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Hmm, and I am sure that LDraw has more though (correct me if I am wrong or prove otherwise). I mean, take all old parts that _are_ in LDraw and _not_ in LDD. Take the color availability in to account, and there you go. If I'd model my designs (...) (14 years ago, 19-May-11, to lugnet.cad)
