  Re: Issue with some of the holds on the Parts Tracker
 
Hello Orion, I think you may refer to some hold votes i did today. (...) I would never hold a part because of some bad vertex sequences only. But identical lines are a reason for doing this. Refer to the parts tracker documentation for L3P-error (...) (22 years ago, 11-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Issue with some of the holds on the Parts Tracker
 
I am at issue with some the hold votes that have given to parts on the PT. As the certify statement says, a part is certified if it is good for general release. In other words, we're not looking for absolute perfection, we are looking for a part (...) (22 years ago, 11-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: Minifig Cloth Cape
 
(...) Not at this time - the Compactor preserves all decimals (except trailing zeroes, which it removes). The intent of the Compactor is to remove all extraneous material, without altering the actual data. If you want to trim all your lines to 3 (...) (22 years ago, 11-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: mouse model manipulation
 
(...) [snip] (...) Ah ha, that comment comes from the ldlite parser. Try the l3 parser by renaming the executable to l3glite or by passing -l3 on the command line. It's much faster for interactive stuff. However, LEDIT mode should already be using (...) (22 years ago, 11-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
 
  Re: mouse model manipulation
 
(...) Just clicking on the model in preparation for mouse rotation (LDGLite mode) gives pdn(314, 219), -> (-6.00, 21.00, -4000.00) platform_step(-1, 2, 0) platform_step(-1, 2, 0) platform_step(-1, 2, 0) platform_step(-1, 2, 0) platform_step(0, 1, 1) (...)

  Re: mouse model manipulation
 
(...) snip (...) Sorry Jim, I have to disagree. Mouse rotation is not usable on my PowerBook. The model almost always rotates in one direction whether the I start LDGLedit or LDGLite with the j or J option. But for building, I have found that the (...)

  Re: Some bugs with LDGLite
 
(...) Did you get my last post about how all of the keys that do anything also casue LDGLite to step the model? From now on, should I say LDGLEdit for edit mode? Should I say LDGLDraw (a bit redundant) or LDGLIte for the viewing mode? (...) For (...) (22 years ago, 11-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
 
  Re: Minifig Cloth Cape
 
(...) I am using version 2.1.5 In an editor window Options menu it shows 'Decimals (3)...'. Doesn't this work with the "compact" tool? Paul (22 years ago, 11-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: mouse model manipulation
 
(...) Do you mean cursor doesn't disappear when you drag the mouse with the button pressed? It's supposed to. That way you can't see it warp back to the center of the window when it strays too far. Or does the cursor reappear when you leave the (...) (22 years ago, 11-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
 
  Re: mouse model manipulation
 
(...) Well, I looked at the pdn and pan values, but they never seemed to get crazy or anything (although I'm not familiar with the inner workings of OpenGL so I'm not entirely sure what constitutes fishy). Their values stay relatively close (...) (22 years ago, 11-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
 
  Re: Could someone run a perspective mode test on ldglite?
 
(...) That sounds good to me. If anyone else has any preferences on this issue (keyboard camera controls) I hope they speak up, I wouldn't want to push for something that was contrary to someone else's needs. But otherwise, sounds like a good (...) (22 years ago, 10-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
 
  Re: L3P error fixing idea (this looks better in raw text, I think)
 
(...) Hmm, the LEDIT emulation mode of ldglite uses the l3 parser which calls the function Resequence() right after printing that "bad vertex sequence" message. I bet if you opened the file in ldglite LEDIT mode and then just saved it they'd all be (...) (22 years ago, 10-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)

  L3P error fixing idea (this looks better in raw text, I think)  [DAT]
 
Some months back Lars was kind enough to email me about some errors he'd noticed in a part that I posted to .cad.parts. Most were "bad vertex sequence," but there were a few "identical line" errors and the like. At first my heart dropped when I (...) (22 years ago, 10-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)  
 
  Re: Could someone run a perspective mode test on ldglite?
 
(...) Hmmm, well, I don't believe I've ever received a single comment on the "camera" moving keys before. Plus I've never been quite happy with the way they affect the opengl view matrix (but not the ldraw matrix). So I suppose I could just redefine (...)

  L3P -check error messages
 
I was reading the L3P -check error mesage guidelines in the PT reaference section and came up with a few questions: 1. When using the -dist command what should the acceptible value. I use 0.1 and I noticed that the L3P check function as part of the (...) (22 years ago, 10-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dev)
 
  Re: mouse model manipulation
 
(...) Maybe we can get to the bottom of this one. Try the debugging command line switch -g and see what it prints out when you do a mouse spin. It should spew all sorts of stuff to the console window. Look for pdn(x,y) and pan(x,y) to see if there's (...) (22 years ago, 10-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
 
  mouse model manipulation
 
More about mouse spinning - as Chris mentioned in the post I noted before, when rotating the model with the mouse it often doesn't seem to rotate appropriately for the direction of mouse movement -- the model will rotate about a given axis as if it (...)

  Re: Could someone run a perspective mode test on ldglite?
 
(...) Here is the post where the mouse issue was originally pointed out: (URL) (at the bottom of the post). It doesn't matter what mode the program is in (perspective or orthographic), mouse rotation is still off somewhat. Basically the problem is (...) (22 years ago, 10-Jun-02, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac)
 
  Re: Some bugs with LDGLite
 
(...) I'm pretty sure that's a bug with the OS X version of GLUT. I bet it gives 2 events for each key or button press. Probably a key up and a key down event. I'll have to filter out the extra ones.
