 | | Ideas for partbin group sorting —Roland Melkert
|
| | | 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 (...) (13 years ago, 15-Jun-11, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | | | | | (...) Thanks this seems like a good starting point, I there a (practical) reason you didn't put slope bricks under bricks e.g.: bricks - plain - etc - slope - - 45 deg - - 33 deg The bin supports unlimited levels and you can use the same group in (...)

| | | | | | Hi Roland, (...) There is a reason. I tend to sort bricks by function (give or take) and slope bricks are rarely interchangeable with regular bricks. With multiple levels I'd probably favour Slopes -45 deg --1x --2x --other -33 deg --1x --2x --other (...) (13 years ago, 17-Jun-11, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | | | | (...) 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)

| | | | | | (...) Parts aren't limited to a single group, you can have the same parts in multiple groups you can even use the same group in multiple places, e.g: bricks - 1 x n - 2 x n - technic bricks - all technic - gears - technic bricks As you could imagine (...)

| | | | | (...) Hi, I can suggest that using subcategories to filter out parts could be the right way, even if you can first display all parts of a specified category, and let the user refine the search by filtering on subcategories. You may also consider (...) (13 years ago, 16-Jun-11, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | | | | | (...) <snip> (...) Yes that's what I was thinking too, but eventually I decided to make it 100% customizable, all groups are defined by ini files users themself can extend or change. All those groups are based on filtering rules or static part (...) (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, (...)

| | | | (...) Current groups mostly work with filters, you can 'include' or 'exclude' stuff based upon category, keywords, description and name. But I'm open for other criteria, like stud count is very interesting :) (...) Thanks (13 years ago, 16-Jun-11, to lugnet.cad.dev)
