 | | Color problem- is this a bug in L3P? [DAT]
|
|
The attached .mpd file is showing a weird problem with colors when run through L3P and rendered in POV-Ray. There is a subfile that contains a single part. In there, the part's color is set to trans-red (Color36). The parent file sets it to black (...) (24 years ago, 25-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.models, lugnet.cad.ray)

(...) I'm not sure the part authors will be able to help you, but my knowledge of LDView probably will. After looking at it in LDView (without actually trying to read your DAT code), I believe the problem is that you have a T-intersection, and the (...)

| | Help needed with cond. lines [DAT]
|

Could some of the senior-authors please have a look at the cond. lines? I'm in trouble with the section around the visor holes. I tried to add some cond. lines but LDView still doesn't show it with a smooth surface. I have no idea what's wrong. Many (...) (24 years ago, 23-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) I checked some geometry websites, and the consensus is that these are tori. Just not the common type. (...) Inverse-ratio torus is a better name, but is fairly lengthy. An inverted torus, I think, is still a torus, just with the surfaces (...) (24 years ago, 23-Mar-03, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

(...) I'm not terribly surprised. This is a great solution, as then, if for some reason in the future, inverse ratio tori are needed, they can use the same convention, just a different starting letter and inverting the ratio as appropriate in the (...)

Actually, it's not a new primitive, but it doesn't fit under the current naming scheme. My current 33089 (in PT) is a rather bulky file (55KB), so to streamline it, I decided to make a few new primitives. One of these was a torus with major radius 1 (...)
