 | | New Touch Sensor
|
|
I was looking at the new parts for LDraw and was pleased to see that the '879 Touch Sensor' was not called 'MindStorms Touch Sensor' as it might have been, since the '8482 CyberMaster' also includes tree of these. For those who don't know, the (...) (26 years ago, 26-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Cool. I have it implemented and it works tolerably well. (...) modelling (...) Rokenbok is mostly not compatible, only the plates have the requisite nubs on them. But that is cool since you can build any Lego construction off the plates and (...) (26 years ago, 25-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I suggested this for LDraw2. I think Jacob is including some variation of this idea. And Paul Gyugyi is actively talking about supporting this in LDLite. I think (but I'm not sure) Lars is going this way in L3P as well. (...) One thing Gyug is (...) (26 years ago, 25-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

|

Okay, so it is easy to display an MPD file, but what do people think about allowing part files to be MPDs? This would allow making the sub-parts that are related to a part to be packaged with the part. The trick is how to determine what file an MPD (...) (26 years ago, 25-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

|
|
(...) Even if I was doing a "true black" background, I'd probably still want my black lego parts in a slightly off-black color. So maybe the -B option could accept an RGB value? Steve (26 years ago, 25-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) I second Steve's request for a good way to see _all_ the type 5 lines. A _feature_ in LDraw is convenient in this respect - you can change the 5s to 2s and LDraw willl ignore the spurious data at the end of the line. I think LDLite ignores (...) (26 years ago, 25-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | LDlite "Black" not really Black...
|
|
I noticed that In LDlite, "black" is not really black... it is not quite R:0;G:0;B:0. I know that that works well for lego parts, but it would be nice if it would render true black when you select black for the background color. --Karim (26 years ago, 24-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

I'd like to have more colors available in the Background Color and Default Piece Color drop-downs. Or the ability to type in different color codes. While editing parts, it is useful to set the part-color to a transparent value -- it makes it much (...) (26 years ago, 24-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

However, the memorial navigation in my opinion is lacking, but the graphics are quick to load which is a plus. (...) Yep.. Well, I hope that (...) (26 years ago, 24-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) That's not a bad idea. Maybe if we defined that as a 'miscellaneous accessory' category, and had other, more specific sub-categories, like "Minifig Tool" and "Minifig Weapon". But is a speargun a weapon, or a tool? Steve (26 years ago, 22-Mar-99, to lugnet.cad.dev)
