  Re: LSynth 2.0 Available
 
(...) OK the installer is slightly less sucky, because now it puts the parts in the LDRAW\Parts directory. Kevin (22 years ago, 18-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.inst)
 
  instruction approaches
 
An interesting philosophical question about instruction approaches... Does anyone have any thoughts on or examples of instructions that are organized in a hierarchy as opposed to linearly? Where an instruction hierarchy would start with the building (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.inst)
 
  Re: Seeking input on reused user parts in building instructions
 
I totally agree with all these comments. This especially rears it's head when doing passenger coaches where I've use the same sub model 36 times in s set of 4 coaches! Which brings up an interesting philosophical question about instruction (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.inst)

  Re: Sand Green and POV
 
I've run into this problem before using Pov-Ray. What you need to do is find the line that calls the complete model (will be just before the camera statement) and remove the #if statement. For example: Remove #if (version >= 3.1) material #else (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.inst)
 
  Re: LSynth 2.0 Available
 
(...) Installers are highly uninspiring, but I will fix this for the next release (which will happen as soon as I fix and test the installer.) Kevin (22 years ago, 17-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.inst)
 
  Re: LSynth 2.0 Available
 
I really like your tool, it will save me a lot of time and struggling and allow mw to add to my models I do, hower have a a comment on the installer you use, it sucks.. instead of placing the parts in the correct parts directories it placed them in (...)

  Re: LSynth 2.0 Available
 
Hi Dave, Right now the installer is too simple. It needs to know where the LDraw directory is, so it can add some parts to your parts directory. It does a simple search for this: LDRAW\MKLIST.EXE on your hard disks. It cannot find it. I'd guess one (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.inst)
 
  Re: LSynth 2.0 Available
 
Bill, My initial thought is.... what are the chances that someone will find a commercial use for this program? But in thinking about it more, I have no idea how far other contributing authors will take this program, so out of respect for their (...)

  Re: Sand Green and POV
 
(...) Try using L3P and POV-Ray without LPub, because I'd be surprised if it was an LPub issue. If it works without LPub please let me know. Could it be that L3P doesn't know how to map the Sand Green color to RGB? (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.inst)
 
  Sand Green and POV
 
All, I have built a model in MLCad in Sand Green. Using LPub, I rendered out the main image and rather than Sand Green, the color came out light gray. How can I make sure that it renders in Sand Green? Thanks! Jake --- Jake McKee LEGO Enthusiast (...) (22 years ago, 17-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad, lugnet.inst)

  My first instructions online
 
I posted my first set of instructions to get the feel of all this great software you gurus are coming up with. It is an end of line bumper for the end of a train track.

  Re: Seeking input on reused user parts in building instructions
 
Hi Will, As I was writing the original post, I realized that I had a question for myself, does the X4 go on the image itself, or does it go in the web pages generated by LPub. If I make it go into the web pages, then I think it leaves more (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.inst)

  Re: Seeking input on reused user parts in building instructions
 
While it is a great idea to supress the multiple rendering of the same steps, I'm not sure there is really any added value to displaying the "x4" on the last step. I find that I always take a pass through the final rendered instruction images, in my (...) (22 years ago, 16-Jan-03, to lugnet.cad.dev, lugnet.inst)
