I have created a new town building, a Dry Goods Store. I am using this MOC as an example of my process to make high quality building instructions. I still need to write a how to section for Jake's Building Instructions Portal but here are the images. Final Instructions: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=43472 LDraw file: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=43485 Piece Editing Tutorial Images: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=43474 Subassembly Editing Process http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=43473 Instruction Page Creation Process: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=43475 I used mlcad, l3p, lpub, and pov-ray to create the rendered images. A scanner was used to get images of certain pieces like the shutters. Finally, I edited images in photoshop by adding a background image, step numbers, lines outlining the pieces, etc. Please leave feedback on the images and what I should include in the tutorial and what you think of the store. (As a side note - I do not have access to a digital camera at this time to take pictures of the actual model) Ben

Hi Ben, It is nice to see how people use LPub to create building instructions. As the author I've been curious how people use LPub as part of a process. This helps me plan for future enhancements to LPub. (...) I was thinking about writing up a web (...) (22 years ago, 16-May-03, to lugnet.inst)
