|
|
Kevin, I may have jumped the gun, but I just noticed your site had a new version of Lpub, so I downloaded and installed. I am finding a couple of problems (not sure if they are related to 2.1.0.4 or if I am just now finding them). - I noticed that (...) (22 years ago, 9-Jan-03, to lugnet.inst)

Bill, Give it a try. I'm still working on the version that has auto-centering, but it will be out soon. The problem only shows up sometimes. Kevin (...) (22 years ago, 9-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.inst)

(...) I always put the origin at the center of the first piece (or pieces if the first step has more than one). That means nothing I do will render properly in Lpub?? MLCAD doesn't have this problem - my models are always centered, no matter what. I (...) (22 years ago, 6-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.inst)

LPub uses: -cg0,0 -ca30 by default. LPub controls view angle by rotating all the parts to match rotation step specification and view coordinates. It seems like this qualifies as auto-centerable, but it does not always work. Kevin (...) (22 years ago, 5-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.inst)

(...) L3P can perform automatic camera positioning only when you use -cg<la>,<lo>[,<r>] camera globe position, default is 30,45,0 and radius is <= 0. -ca<a> is allowed too. Otherwise you have constrained the camera too much. /Lars (22 years ago, 5-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.inst)

Hi Jake, (...) I'm merely setting the camera angle to 1 which eliminates perspective. I do not set orthographic. I modified LPub so the lowest camera angle is 1, and fixed the label that indicates the actual camera angle so it is updated as the (...) (22 years ago, 5-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.inst)

So to clarify, rather than use the ortho setting, you are choosing the camera angle setting and using a 1? Is that it, or are you doing additional stuff?

I ran into the want for orthographic camera, with my pneumatic adding machine MOC, and made some discoveries. You can simulate orthographic images with a camera angle of 1. I tried using 0, but L3P silently ignores this and assumes you want the (...) (22 years ago, 5-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.inst)
