Hello all,
I've been working on my LDraw editor during my vacation, and I'm wondering on
how to populate the partbin by default.
The general mechanics are done and I only need to 'sort' the library so it's
handy to use during editing.
I got the 'standard' by category groups but most of the more usable are huge
(300+ parts). So I think i should also provide a more sorted collection of bins.
I was thinking something like 'Plane bricks (no stickers patterns etc)', 'All
1x1 brick variants' etc. 'Techic pins', 'technic gears', 'technic bricks', etc
etc etc. these can then be organized in a tree manner.
But although my editor supports an unlimited amount of (extendability) bin
groups, this might generate too many groups.
'part bin groups' are generated by ini like files like e.g.
-example-
[options]
kind=filter
caption=Plaine bricks
description=Basic bricks without stickers etc
mascot=3003.dat
sortOn=description
sortDesc=false
sortCaseInsensitive=true
<rules>
include category brick
exclude descriptionPrefix ~
exclude descriptionPrefix _
exclude description duplo
exclude description pattern
exclude description pat.
exclude description spring
exclude description sticker
exclude description logo
---------
Above group is a filter group, but you could even use 100% handpicked content
for groups.
I'm also open for people wanting to help (dummy) test the 'basic basic' version
I'm hoping to finish this month.
If anyone is interested helping with ether testing or the part bin please
response here, or email me directly.
Thanks
Roland

| (...) I would like to see something that lets parts be in many groups instead of a strict hierarchy... so that, for example, a part could be in "circular", "rounded top" and "stud on top" all at the same time. (13 years ago, 16-Jun-11, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| (...) Not exactly sorting and subclassing, but what about an edit box where you could enter filtering critera, like "1 x 2" or "diver" etc. By coincidence, this is exactly what my LDList program does :-) (URL) It allows search by number, name, (...) (13 years ago, 16-Jun-11, to lugnet.cad.dev)
