Hi, A long overdue fix for Bill of Materials images is working. Jake I'm really sorry that this took so long to fix, especially in light of the grief you got for *not* having BOM images in your book. I've also modified LPub to use subdirectories for (...) (20 years ago, 12-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)

| | Re: Lpub find edges
|
|
(...) Well, I did some tests walking the tree and printing out all line type 2 as cylinders, but I didn't think it looked to well. Mostly because at some edges you only see 1/4 of the cylinder, and at other edges you see 3/4 of the cylinder. L3P (...) (20 years ago, 12-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev)

Maybe you should consider distributing several standard plugins with LDDPinstall.exe, or perhaps make a plugin bundle with everything, or is that what the (...)

(...) But wait! I'm not quite sure I understand. What's the advantage of incorporating the bendible object generator code into LDDP instead of developing it independently as a plugin? As a plugin, you could update it without having to rerelease a (...) (20 years ago, 8-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev)

| | Re: Using LDGLite inside LDDP
|

(...) I think I understand... So, the earlier version of LDDP (which utilized the bendible objects creator plug-in) generated a preview because the plug-in polled LDGLite (or vice versa), correct? That would be a handy feature in a future version of (...) (20 years ago, 8-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev)

Need some help with this... I've managed to get LDGLite to work standalone (i.e. viewing parts within LDRAW\Parts directory). I seem to be encountering some difficulty using it inside LDDP.

(...) On the real parts, do the poles separate from the baseplates? If they do separate, then this is a good solution. If they don't separate, then this isn't such a good solution -- the 'complete' part file should be just like the part you'd pull (...) (20 years ago, 7-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad.dev)

They are used a lot to blend 3D CG with cell animation drawings. I have not (...) (20 years ago, 3-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)

(...) This is so very true, and troublesome. POV-Ray does not support the concept of a line in 3D space, so L3P cannot directly translate LDraw lines to POV-Ray entities. Lars, at one point we talked about the possibility of having L3P use cylinders (...) (20 years ago, 3-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev, FTX)
