  Re: Use of arbitrary elements with LSynth
 
(...) Hi all, I have rewritten much of LSynth's code so that it is table driven. Currently the tables are coded in the program, but the important thing is that definitions of synthesized things are tabular. I've added a string type that uses your (...) (20 years ago, 15-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Parts editing made easy, anyone?
 
I'm replying to my own post to keep a low profile for the time being. The project is not quite finished yet, but I have some good news I'd like to share with you: I now have a working file converter that takes ASE export input from 3dsmax and writes (...)

  Re: Sorting by line
 
(...) IMO, it would be best with a dialog when sorting is requested. Remember all the settings from the last time sorting was used. (...) If there is no choice for the user, I'd say keep them at the top as you do now. A checkbox for removing them (...) (20 years ago, 15-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Sorting by line
 
(...) It's hard to say what would be best. I personally think that having a dialog with all the sort options along with a quick way to apply the most recently used sort options might be the most flexible. That way, people who use the feature (...) (20 years ago, 14-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Sorting by line
 
(...) That's what I did in the map I did but if you can make them "sticky" meaning that they stay by some other line in the file (the one that they precede?) that might be interesting. Might not be useful though. (...) Those are good, Also if you (...) (20 years ago, 14-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Sorting by line
 
(...) Should this be a dialog that pops up when sorting in initiated, in the program options, or something else? The current method I'm using moves all type 0 lines to the top. Should I simply delete them instead? Also, what about sort order? Should (...) (20 years ago, 14-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Sorting by line
 
(...) centroid was my first thought but leave it to the user would be better w. (20 years ago, 14-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Sorting by line
 
(...) I would tend to lean toward the centroid, but perhaps it would be best to be user configurable. --Travis (20 years ago, 14-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Sorting by line
 
I'm implementing sorting in LDDP. Here's my question: Say I'm sorting by position using Y. When sorting linetypes 2-5 should I take the maximum Y, the minimum Y, the Y value of center of the triangle/quad/line, or something else entirely? -Orion (20 years ago, 14-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  L3PGen
 
Evening all. I have just made the first release of my L3PGen program available from: (URL) is designed as a more up to date and functional version of L3PAO. I plan to have it automatically read camera/light positions/etc direct from the model to (...) (20 years ago, 11-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Cross platform GUI
 
(...) I just read this on /. This is great news. -Orion (20 years ago, 7-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Cross platform GUI
 
It looks like QT 4 will extend the GPL license to the Windows version. See here: (URL) sent this cad.dev, because this change could actually be useful to the developers.) --Travis Cobbs (20 years ago, 7-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: ldconfig.ldr and dithered colors
 
(...) They should be fall back on the 'default spec' -- that is, dither them; don't rely on their counterpart's definition. But that doesn't really (...) Hmm. The LGEO colors don't have edge colors, do they? So using K,J instead of J,K [if J,K isn't (...) (20 years ago, 7-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: ldconfig.ldr and dithered colors
 
(...) I'd say a blend of 0 and 1, basically just as if it's counterpart (272) wasn't defined in the ldconfig -Orion (20 years ago, 6-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  ldconfig.ldr and dithered colors
 
How is a renderer expected to handle dithered colors not mentioned explicitly in ldconfig.ldr ? The "LDraw File Format" specification says: "Also, colours 256 through 511 are dithered. So if you want to combine colours J and K, figure your colour (...) (20 years ago, 6-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: BFCFixer
 
(...) Such components are handled correctly by BFCFixer as "detached" submodels, and are oriented consistently with the rest of the polygons in the file as long as each independant submodel is sufficiently enclosed that a correct winding can be (...) (20 years ago, 5-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: BFCFixer
 
(...) Of course, it's that simple - thanks. Except some of the most basic LDraw parts (regular bricks) fail this test because the studs are "stuck on" a complete quad, rather than a surface peppered with stud-sized holes. Chris (20 years ago, 4-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: BFCFixer
 
(...) Would you guys want a code repository for this? I have a SVN repo set up that I could easily add this as a project... Just LMK! (20 years ago, 3-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: BFCFixer
 
(...) Ask, and ye shall receive. (URL) code is included (hopefully my crude hackings can be deciphered by others) as well as an executable jarfile in the dist/ subdirectory. Enjoy. If you find any major bugs, let me know, and I'll see what I can do, (...) (20 years ago, 3-Feb-05, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: BFCFixer
