 | | New Parts Category: Cockpit

|
This is for everyone who considers themselves to be an L-CAD'er. Two of the parts submitted for the next parts update are particularly hard to categorize. These are the large cockpit base from the Rock Raiders, and the windscreen base from Aquazone. (...) (24 years ago, 6-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

|
|
(...) Maybe, but LDraw renderers typically aren't sophisticated enough to render a chromed surface, so the only possible differences are in the color. If you take away the shiny/reflective nature of the chromed parts, I think the color would be very (...) (24 years ago, 6-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

I would like to ask you guys, for your setup for connecting an arm (or whatever is similar to a robot arm) into a 24 tooth Gear. I'm searching especially for the smaller/sturdiest setup. Just have to take into account that the Gear is attached to an (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Right now (IIRC), L2P and L3P convert both 503 and 383 to chrome silver. I've used both color codes in my DAT files... (...) But since the colors look the same in LDraw/LEdit, this might cause some confusion. (...) I haven't seen the new (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Good question. This should have a different color code than the chrome silver (which is 383). 503 looks the same as 383, because it's dithered from the same colors (white and light gray). But with a different color code, it would be easy for (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jul-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

[moved to lugnet.cad.dev] (...) There's no such utility for DAT. I know of a few utilities/test programs that are close to this ability, but that's not what they were written for. I don't know about DXF. For POV, you can't drop hidden polygons, (...) (24 years ago, 29-Jun-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Marc Klein has made *many* wonderful contributions for the 2000-02 parts update. Among other files, there are several "throwbot pieces". I'm having a hard time coming up with decent part-names that a) Don't use either "throwbot" or "slizer" b) (...) (24 years ago, 28-Jun-00, to lugnet.cad.dev)

While examining part 6084 Windscreen Top (Aquanaut Sub) to see what portions I might be able to reuse in creating part 6084, I noticed quite a few errors in the part.
