(...) Is there something special that needs to be done with the above zip file after extracting to get Bricksmith to recognize the parts in it? No parts appeared in the parts selector when I had the preferences set to look at the ldraw folder (...) (17 years ago, 1-Jan-09, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev.mac)

(...) Since some popular LDraw programs are available for the Mac these days - LDView, LPub, L3Lab, and of course Bricksmith - I think it's only reasonable to provide parts updates in a format readily accessible to Mac users. Happily, the (URL) (...) (17 years ago, 31-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)

(...) I second that. I've been using it for all my latest renders and it's eliminated almost all hand-editing of POVray files. Top stuff! Tim (17 years ago, 7-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)

(...) ... (...) This is a big update. I heartily recommend you give it a try, especially if you are working with LPub or using a Mac (or both). Travis has made some great additions to the program. Jim (17 years ago, 2-Dec-08, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)

(...) I'll be putting ROTSTEP to use properly now, too. Thanks. (...) LDView 4 is awesome. From my perspective, recent versions of LDView, LPub, and Bricksmith form a Macintosh LDraw Power Triad. Jim (17 years ago, 7-Nov-08, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)

(...) And you were right! The new version of LDView works. LDView 3.2 does not. Thanks very much for your help! Allen (17 years ago, 7-Nov-08, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)

(...) Well, Allen said that the LDView 4 test build fixed the problem. At a guess, LPub using -cg on the command line (to set the camera angle to 0 so that all the rotation can be in the model itself?) and the QT version isn't handling that like it (...)

(...) Please note that instead of "0 ROTSTEP 0 0 0 REL", the preferred meta command is "0 ROTSTEP END". (...) There are 4 kinds of ROTSTEPS: REL, ABS, ADD, END For REL, you add the angles from the ROTSTEP meta to the default viewing angle to get the (...) (17 years ago, 6-Nov-08, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)

(...) The more I think about it, the more I suspect that LDView 3.2 on the Mac is to blame. I sent Allen an email with a link to an LDView 4 test build. --Travis (17 years ago, 6-Nov-08, to lugnet.cad.dev.mac, FTX)
