 | | LDConfig Manager Update (1.0.3.0)
|
|
I just released another update on LDConfig Manager. Now I feel that the LDConfig Manager is nearly finished and can be used to generate exact the same LDconfig as it has been done by hand so far. LDConfig.ldr will be saved with 'UTF-8 without BOM' (...) (14 years ago, 4-Feb-11, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.announce)

|

(...) Hi Philo, Good question. In fact, Jim Foltz's su2ldraw plugin does include LDraw-to-SketchUp import and treatment of type 1 lines as SketchUp components (subparts). Unfortunately, I was not able to get su2ldraw to work (SketchUp 8 on Mac OS X (...) (14 years ago, 2-Feb-11, to lugnet.cad)

(...) That is why we should stick to the 8.3 length parts file name convention :-) I'm able to run ldraw fully native, on a still operational PC with MS-DOS operating system. (14 years ago, 2-Feb-11, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Very interesting... one question before I commit myself to learn Sketchup, is it possible to import LDraw primitives, and build more complex shapes on them? Lack of proper integration of primitives is always what plagues advanced CAD tools (...) (14 years ago, 2-Feb-11, to lugnet.cad)

| | New version of SketchUp-to-LDraw script

Hello, To assist my recent foray into the world of LDraw part authoring, I created a simplified version of Jim Foltz' su2ldraw script ((URL) which has been discussed here previously. I just posted my version of the script (a Ruby plugin for Google (...) (14 years ago, 2-Feb-11, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I did not know that, I always thought the cmdline is more aimed at the model level, cause they are basically ldraw.exe parameters? But looking at an old ldraw release, the -c param isn't mentioned so additional documentation on the !CMDLINE (...) (14 years ago, 1-Feb-11, to lugnet.cad)

(...) I agree usage of color 16 for the box should be left to the part author. But the thing I'm thinking of is in daily use this will cause the sticker to be used in a non 'real' way. I mean you would like to have the option but by default it (...) (14 years ago, 31-Jan-11, to lugnet.cad)

(...) Our current spec ((URL) says: "The pattern is on the top face; the other (five) sides of the box correspond to main background color of the sticker pattern (i.e. the predominant color of the pattern at its edges). If there isn't a predominant (...) (14 years ago, 31-Jan-11, to lugnet.cad)
