I thought I would save my first post to Lugnet for something good.
It is time to announce the completion of Bricksmith 1.0, my new LDraw editor for Mac OS X. Bricksmith provides a
number of features which have hitherto been lacking on the Macintosh,
including:
- A fast, comprehensive part browser
- One-click access to the full Lego color palette
- Fully-functional MPD capabilities
- Steps, step display, and step exporting
- Undo, Copy, and Paste
- Drag-and-drop reorganization of model contents
- Primitives
This project has taken me about six months to complete, so I hope that you
find it to truly be LDraw for the Rest of Us. That’s not to say it’s perfect.
My goal in creating this program was to create a superb tool for
instruction-creation, and a usable 3D model viewer. In fact, I finished over
three-quarters of the source code before I actually drew a single pixel of
LDraw. Consequently, Bricksmith’s instruction-making tools are superb, but
the model viewer is not yet as pretty as Mac Brick CAD’s.
Bricksmith
requires Mac OS X 10.3 or later, and may be download it at
http://bricksmith.sourceforge.net/.
So have fun, all you Mac-loving
Legophiles!
Sincerely,
Allen Smith

NICE! I loaded it last night and the program is really well-done...I do need to
figure out how to build on it though:-)!
