SR 3D Builder LEGO CAD

[xSergio74]

Hi again,

So here we are with version 0.5.0.1. of my LEGO PC CAD

The good news, for technic builders, is the RACK SUPPORT (still partial) for steering and for linear movement (not combined with hinges)

I recommend have a look to videos!!

Download as always from my website:

Hi,

If you read my message, you can see that racks only support basic functionality for steering and NO hinges connections (like balljoint, amortizer, hinges or any other). Rack functionality is far from being complete.

This release was anticipated due to missed part displayed in the toolbox

u-joints should work right now. If they don't it should be due to a displacements error.

thank you for the reply i read that

but what i mean is that moving beams connected with pins like outriggers and such it just skips the pin at some moment and the outriggers arent deployed

it breaks the movement connection and some point .

by the way the program is great i would deffenetly donate as soon as i get money

Thanks for donating. Really appreciated !!!

Hi everybody!

Before continue, if anyone is bored by my posts, please let me know and I will limit to only the new releases from now on...

Anyway, nearly a month is passed from my last release and now is time for some news I'm working on.

I have just published a new video showing new kinematic capabilities included in next release 0.5.1.1 (STILL NOT RELEASED)

http://www.youtube.com/user/xSergio74

Also I recommend to HAVE A LOOK TO MY FAVORITES LIST in my YouTube channel to understand what other are already doing with this GREAT application.

I apologize for the happiness, but me myself get astonished looking to what the application can manage right now.

That's all folks for now.

Stay tuned for next release, hopefully mid may.

Thanks for SR 3D!

Hi again,

for the fans, yet another video to show even more complex functionality implemented:

a gear moves a rack that move 2 combined quadbars

Since images worth's more than words, here is the link for the video.

You won't believe.

Unlike any other 3D animation suites (for LEGO or for professional use) you need not to define anything!! Just position the parts in the model and the application will recognize the available animations.

Be patient for the new version! Still need some tests!!!!!
