 | | Hoping for advice... Best way to get parts? Other "Builder AFOLs?"
|
|
I'd love to hear people's advice on getting the specific parts you need to build a specific MOC. I'd also like to know if anyone else is a "Builder AFOL" like me? Getting Parts: I know Bricklink is the short answer but I feel like I just don't get (...) (21 years ago, 4-Apr-04, to lugnet.general, lugnet.inst)

(...) Lets make sure we're clear here. For part list images and BOM, you do not have control over orthographic. LPub forces it, and it works with Part Images Minimum Camera Distance. I'll test drive Assembly Images+orthographic+min camera distance. (...) (21 years ago, 15-Mar-04, to lugnet.inst, lugnet.cad, FTX)

(...) Are you trying to render them with an orthographic camera? I had the same problem when I tried that and no wrangling with the minimum camera distance helped. When I set the camera angle at ten (which effectively looks orthographic) the minimum (...) (21 years ago, 13-Mar-04, to lugnet.inst, FTX)

(...) OK, my laptop is back together and I have enough battery to give more concrete information. In the "Building Instructions"->"Steps" tab, there is a "Minimum Camera Distance". This one can effect the scale of construction images. It cannot the (...) (21 years ago, 13-Mar-04, to lugnet.inst, FTX)

(...) The issue you are grappling with has to do with scale..... Since you give me no information to work with I have to guess. I'd guess that your model is very large, so L3P places the camera very far back to make sure that all of the model is (...) (21 years ago, 12-Mar-04, to lugnet.inst, FTX)

Why is it then when I tell LPub to create the "Layouts" it makes the parts needed for this step box HUGE, but the images that shows where they go in the step tiny? (URL) Am I doing something wrong? Is there a place to modify this setting? Could it (...) (21 years ago, 12-Mar-04, to lugnet.inst, FTX)
