 | | LDraw.org Standards Committee (LSC) Draft Proposal
|
|
As Orion posted earlier today, let's revisit the LDraw.org standards body idea. [1] Here is the draft proposal I mentioned earlier today on LUGNET. I'm posting it here for everyone to discuss. Several weeks ago, I worked with Kevin Clague, Larry (...) (21 years ago, 21-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, lugnet.cad.dev) !!

Hi Kevin, You've done it again! This is a HUGE improvement as it allows a much needed "step hierarchy", extremely useful for generating instructions - your step 0 is actually two steps. This is really great. I am probably being too inquisitive too (...) (21 years ago, 21-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) The short answer to your question is yes. Ldraw only looks in the PARTS, P, MODELS, or current folder. Two extension folders have been added to faciltate further separation: the PARTS/S folder is for subparts used by parts in the PARTS folder (...) (21 years ago, 21-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

Hi Orion, Why do we need to have the s\ in the DAT file? I'm probably showing my part definition ignorance here. Is it because LDraw does not know to look in s\? I'll fix the bug in LPub either way. Kevin (...) <snip> (21 years ago, 21-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Some more on this, This idea doesn't have to confine to just color coded dots, it could also encompass lengths for pneumatic hoses as well. Maybe an added parameter to the PLIST BEGIN SUB meta command or an extension to LSynth. -Orion (21 years ago, 21-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

I found two more things that are styming my progress 1. LPub quits on error if a part has a color other than 16 for the X-Xedge.dat primitive. This shouldn't matter since L3P doesn't render edges and colors other than 16 aren't technically illegal (...) (21 years ago, 21-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) Even with the PLIST command, I still get a part not in PARTS.LST error unless I turn off the file checking. Here the example: 0 Test Axle 0 Name: Taxle.dat 0 Author: Orion Pobursky 0 Unofficial Model 0 PLIST BEGIN SUB 32199.dat 1 7 -30 -110 (...) (21 years ago, 21-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)

(...) OK, I used the PLIST BEGIN command and I'm still getting the s/faxle1.dat not found in the PARTS.LST file error. I think (but haven't tried) that this problem will exist for any model that uses file from the /S directory. -Orion (21 years ago, 20-Apr-03, to lugnet.cad.dev)
