 | | Parts editing made easy, anyone?
|
|
Are parts authors really using text editors to compose new parts? I find it hard to understand that a text editor is still the tool of choice for this relatively complicated modeling task. I might be wrong and could need an update on what tools (...) (20 years ago, 21-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) When you really get into POV-Ray, you have to deal with multiple files. If you ever include a graphic as a texture, or a height field, there is nothing you can do. You can't combine an image into a text file and have it work well. If you have (...) (20 years ago, 21-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Hi Lars, I'd prefer that the format is unchanged. Right now LPub post-proceses the one file, greying parts as needed, adjusting camera settings for orthographic, and creating new colors for the greyed pieces.... I'd really rather *not* have to (...)

(...) I am anything but an expert on this area, but will not the parts, 3001_dot_dat and so on, also be defined multiple times? (20 years ago, 21-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) For newbies I think it's nice that the POV file is self-contained and ready-to-render. However, using certain coming options you can exclude camera and lights. Why would you like submodels in separate .inc files ? Only to have a smaller (...) (20 years ago, 21-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Optional, yes that would be nice. But I also see the strength in the fact that all data needed are gathered in the same file. I have downloaded so many pov-files just to discover that they have references to inc files I fail to find on the (...) (20 years ago, 20-Jan-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) If you go into BrickLink's "Search", then "Find Stores", you can upload an XML file of all the parts you want, and it will find the stores which have all (or most) of those parts. There's a help file on how to build the XML file (URL) here>. (...) (20 years ago, 19-Jan-05, to lugnet.inv, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.cad.mlcad, lugnet.market.brickshops, FTX)
