LDCAD- flickering colors on overlapping parts

Recommended Posts

Hi,

When I am using LDCAD and want to make impossible connections by overlapping parts, the color keeps flickering when I move the viewing angle/pan.

for example I might want to make custom bricks by combining, i.e overlapping two existing bricks.

Is there a way to fix that?

Probably not. This is the case for pretty much all 3d software and not just free ones for LEGO building. If 2 faces are exactly at the same location the 3D engine doesn't know which one to draw first as by definition they are at the same distance from the camera, hence this glitch.

Not unless all bricks have the same color, also it seems you disabled lighting which in some cases makes the problem more visible I think.

The problem is called 'Z-Fighting' and like Scrubs wrote its in inherit modern graphics card problem/limitation.

If you want to make custom bricks without this problem you need to create your own .dat files using an editor like LDPartEditor (http://nilsschmidt1337.github.io/ldparteditor/)
