thire5 Posted September 18, 2018 Hello, I'd like to ask for help with LSynth. Has anyone ever managed to synhetize this flexible part in MLCad using Lsynth tool ? I found the part entry in LDraw catalog http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cgi?f=parts/30191.dat also with three subparts, but I don't know how to use it. They even mention using it with LSynth. I just need to make simple bended shape like it's done in many sets, for example here: Thank you for any help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roland Posted September 19, 2018 You need to add lsynth meta's for all 4 bars separately or make a submodel if all bars have the same shape. I did something similar using my own LDCad, if you're interested I posted it on the LDraw forum as attachment restrictions on this site are very strict. https://forums.ldraw.org/thread-22938.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thire5 Posted November 25, 2018 Thank you for your reply! I finally had time to come back to my project. Unfortunatelly, I was not able to render this part correctly :( I copied the files you provided into correct folders (templates, donors), I also tried to register new folder for Template and Donors in Prefs/LDraw but when I open the file test.mpd it's always missing the end parts. I'm not experienced in LDCad, I installed it as a part of LDraw-all-in-one pack (version 1.6a). My final goal is to import those bended hoses into stud.io, but it seems like there will be another obstacle https://forums.ldraw.org/thread-23006-post-29758.html#pid29758 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You also need the unofficial LDraw library as those end connectors aren't official yet. See http://www.melkert.net/LDCad/faq#faq_unoflib for how to register the unofficial library in ldcad. 8 minutes ago, thire5 said: My final goal is to import those bended hoses into stud.io, but it seems like there will be another obstacle https://forums.ldraw.org/thread-23006-post-29758.html#pid29758 It's basically the same as described in philo's ldraw forum thread only difference being this part exists out of 5 pieces, so you need to make sure all 5 are loose files.

thire5 Posted December 3, 2018 Thanks for your help! I had to add those unofficial parts in the LDCad library and then also in "Custom parts" in stud.io. Works perfectly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thire5 Posted March 14, 2019 I just found this video - it's in Mecabricks software. It looks very interesting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
