  Re: 2x1x2 slope trouble
 
(...) Thanks, Philo. I think you are right - I am missing the subpart. I am not seeing how to download it though. I am not the brightest light when doing these types of things. Jonathan (13 years ago, 25-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: 2x1x2 slope trouble
 
I am not a Bricksmith user, so there may be issues I don't know, but 60481 is an official part included in library, so you don't have to download it individually (I suspect you didn't download it's subpart 60481s01.dat, or placed it in the wrong (...)

  2x1x2 slope trouble
 
(URL) Bearing in mind I am new to this type of thing . . . as a first timer I am having trouble downloading this part from LDraw Parts Library and placing into Bricksmith. The part seems to come out without sides on it. Has anyone advice to offer? (...) (13 years ago, 25-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: 2 x 2 tiles with dots
 
(...) Philo, *thank you* million times! Saso (13 years ago, 24-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: 2 x 2 tiles with dots
 
(...) Yes, they do exist... now ;) (URL) (13 years ago, 24-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: 3D laser scanning
 
(...) Yes, better have more resolution at the beginning. In many cases I downsample differently on different sections of parts. Eg. for Dobby's head ((URL) I first reduced polygon count to a high value, then reduced again in all areas except (...) (13 years ago, 24-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: 3D laser scanning
 
(...) Thanks, Philo! In that case, I shall rescan without the head, from more angles, and with finer settings - I was trying (unsuccessfully) to try and limit the polygon count by scanning in lower resolution, but if you're using other software to (...)

  2 x 2 tiles with dots
 
Hi all, I managed to find part #64776 Die 6 Sided Rubber Frame with Red Center with Studs (Board Games) in an Official parts list but I cannot find these files: (Bricklink part numbers) 3068bpb290 3068bpb291 3068bpb292 3068bpb293 3068bpb192 (...) (13 years ago, 23-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: 3D laser scanning
 
Hi Darrel, (...) Indeed, the face is not really needed here. Your scanner properly creates a file in millimeter units, scaling by 2.5 directly provides LDU. (...) From my experience with laser scanner, some smoothing can't be avoided because the (...) (13 years ago, 23-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: 3D laser scanning
 
Hi Philo, I've sent you the STL file for the Anakin Skywalker hair piece and the Senate Commando helmet. I’m not really satisfied with how the front of the part looks; if you look at the picture on Peeron there’s a lot more definition in the hair (...)

  Re: 3D laser scanning
 
Hi Reuben & Darell, (...) Yes, they look good. At first sight triangulation has too many triangles for a LDraw file, but it's easy to reduce. (...) I could have a try, but don't expect it so soon... Another problem is that I don't have the real part (...) (13 years ago, 22-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: How to obtain good photographs to make head patterns?
 
(...) FYI, it's called a "telecentric lens". Wikipedia: (URL) sure these are commonly available to the hobbyist market, though. -Mike (13 years ago, 22-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: 3D laser scanning
 
(...) Can any of the experienced part authors confirm whether Darrell's files are suitable for making an LDraw part? From the visuals they look pretty good, but I'm no expert on the details needed to convert this type of model into a real part file. (...)

  Re: How to obtain good photographs to make head patterns?
 
(...) I think that making good photos is the best way. You need a camera with good optical zoom, make your photos directly in front of head, and from a distance to minimize field of view. The photo you get is not very different from a projection on (...) (13 years ago, 21-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: How to obtain good photographs to make head patterns?
 
(...) Here are some ideas: 1. If you know the exact physical dimensions/characteristics of your digital camera (focal length, aperture, diode size, etc.) I bet you can find a tool or collection of algorithms online that you can use to convert the (...)

  How to obtain good photographs to make head patterns?
 
The technique I've been using to make minifig torsos can be extended to heads, but I have one critical problem that I haven't been able to figure out yet: Before tracing an image, I need an image that is facing the camera head-on. Normally to get a (...) (13 years ago, 19-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: Patterns: Outline or no outline?
 
(...) My process goes like this: 1) Find a relatively high-quality photo of the part and reorient it so it has the right proportions and faces me head-on. (I also keep the part itself handy for details the photo missed.) 2) Use Inkscape to trace (...) (13 years ago, 18-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: Patterns: Outline or no outline?
 
(...) Oh dear! That's just my (painstaking) way. I really wouldn't recommend it to anyone if he or she hasn't tons of time to waste. (...) There are: * Quad2Dat of course (URL) LDPattern - the last time I gave it a try I was most impressed (URL) (...) (13 years ago, 18-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: Patterns: Outline or no outline?
 
Hi Lee, I've started looking at the process of creating patterns for parts. I've been reading through Willy Tschager article "Pattern It: (URL) found a copy of Monzoom (Willy's recommended program for manipulating 2D shapes), but as it's in German I (...)

  Re: Patterns: Outline or no outline?
 
(...) The black sections on 973p74 are probably my mistake, since the basis of the pattern (without the Police decorations) was a copy of 973p73. Generally speaking, unless we have evidence the that colour is actually printed, by having the same (...) (13 years ago, 15-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: Patterns: Outline or no outline?
 
(...) I second that. I do not think there is a strict rule to follow. It depends mostly if main color adds or takes away something to the pattern. Check out my 973pw5 and how I interpreted: (URL) (13 years ago, 14-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: Patterns: Outline or no outline?
 
Hello Lee, (...) A tough question indeed. The recommended practice is to be faithful to the real part, eg. if the areas with background color are not printed, then use main color, otherwise use solid background color. Exception to this occur if (...) (13 years ago, 14-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Patterns: Outline or no outline?
 
Since my last three patterned parts have gone over well I've been working on two more: (URL) running into a design problem with these parts that I haven't had with the others. As you see those two parts only come in black. What I wasn't sure about (...) (13 years ago, 14-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)

Hey, the part x93 is available through the L(EGO)Draw Third Batch: (URL) is not cleaned by now and has the numer 4328. Rolf (13 years ago, 11-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Missing Parts
 
Hi, I'm building a lot of stuff with MLCAD. But now I came across a problem I can't solve; I need the parts with bricklink.com codes 60800, 3068bpb62 and x93. Has anyone got these parts by any chance? (I've looked on the parts tracker on (...) (13 years ago, 10-Mar-11, to lugnet.cad.dat.parts)
 
  Re: 4-4rin19.dat and 55981.dat
 
Hi Reuben, (...) 4-4rin18 and 4-4rin19 are official files, released in 2010 (2010-01 and 2010-02). Since you missed at least 2 releases, I'd suggest you reinstall the complete LDraw library. (...)

  4-4rin19.dat and 55981.dat
 
Hi all, I'm working on a model that includes the part 55981.dat. This references the sub-part 55981s01.dat. To get the model to load in MLCAD I think I also had to download the part 4-4rin18.dat from the site (URL) ldr file can be found here: (URL) (...)
