I thought I would save my first post to Lugnet for something good.
It is time to announce the completion of
Bricksmith 1.0,
my new LDraw editor for Mac OS X.

It’s always nice to see new stuff like this. Especially with the
source code available in CVS on the sourceforge site. Cool!

I don’t own a MAC but it’s always good news when LDraw is lesser and
lesser confined to the Microsoft world. Anyway i have seen the
pretty screenshot, downloaded the archive and extracted the
“Krystonian Freight Sled”, then loaded it in MLCad. To make MLCad
happy i had to suffix all subparts with “.dat” But even then MLCad
is still not happy because Bricksmith can include subparts within
subparts when MLCad can not. As it is, “Krystonian Freight Sled” is
not a valid MPD file, subparts within a subpart are not allowed in a
standard MPD file. I guess it’s a testimony of how Bricksmith is
flexible, but providing a standard-compliant example is always a
good idea.

Hmm, I don’t know, the file looks OK to me. I don’t remember any
*official* limit on nested MPD subfiles. And I also don’t recall
anything official about requiring file extensions. Really, the only
iffy part is the spaces in the filenames, but I thought we recently
came an unofficial agreement on that one supporting the MLCAD format:
Anything after the numbers is part of the filename. With the recently
added support for this, it displays in ldglite just fine, so I suspect
it’ll should read just fine into the “soon to be released” version of
l3p as well. (Whenever that comes out. I didn’t miss it, did I?)

Will i dare a critic?
Yes i will: too many trailing zeros.
|
Yeah, it’d be nice to trim those off. Makes the files more human
readable.
| |
Otherwise, the only thing i can say is: remarkable work, very
encouraging, the future of the LDraw library is brighter than ever.
|
Yes, very nice, the more the merrier.
Enjoy,
Don
