[KEY TOPIC] Official Lego sets made in LDraw
Philo replied to legolijntje's topic in LEGO Digital Designer and other digital tools
Looks like the dinosaur MLCad doesn't like that the submodels don't carry a file extension... You have to add a .ldr to each submodel file name and reference. I too would like to know if this thread is still maintained and indexed. I posted my latest models only on LDraw forum https://forums.ldraw.org/forum-17.html- 2220 replies

[HELP] Modeling Complex Angles in Stud.io
Philo replied to JLiu15's topic in LEGO Digital Designer and other digital tools
LDCad information tool gives 5 decimal places, which should be more than enough for most usages. The limiting factor actually seems to be the number of digits kept when you save (3 dp), but that could improve in the future. -

Or in LDCad: open the submodel, then Session -> detach this subfile. -
New official tools + parts released via Unity
Philo replied to jamesster's topic in LEGO Digital Designer and other digital tools
Tried that yesterday, but the pipe is long (and information is lost in the process, resulting LDraw parts that have no edge lines!): Find the fbx in the right folder (or export part with minigame) open the fbx in Blender Set scale part to 25 (when you open fbx, scale is 0.01) Export to STL ascii mode if you can (for some reason, my Blender crashes on me when I do that!). Otherwise export to obj and use anoter tool to convert obj to stl ascii, eg. meshmixer convert stl to ldraw using stl2dat. Clearly we need a proper .fbx to .dat converter!!! -

Thanks! On Windows, it's in the same location: C:\Users\Philo (etc...) -

@M2m...and where are these files located? I installed Unity and started LEGO microgame, but I can't seem to find anything... -
Yes: https://docs.pybricks.com/en/latest/hubs.html#prime-hub-spike (not yet tested here yet!)

Custom LDD bricks and fixes
Philo replied to Equilibrium's topic in LEGO Digital Designer and other digital tools
Could you report what you found wrong? Might be intetesting to fix LDraw models -
LPUB3D crops the assembly image at the edge of the page.
Philo replied to 1963maniac's topic in LEGO Digital Designer and other digital tools
What about creating A3 size pages, with actual BI stuff in an A4 sized middle (using a background with proper size frame might help), generate images than crop them to A4 size? I think I used a similar trick to create EV3 instructions for LEGO app that required a weird image format. -
Which tool for big Lego Technic MOCs?
Philo replied to LegoJahn's topic in LEGO Digital Designer and other digital tools
LDCad is THE tool for me (especially for Technic models). Rock solid, handles big models with ease while remaining pretty fast. And as mentionned by @supertruper1988 it contains tools and provides measuring tools that make your life easier (eg. the triangle closure calculator!) -
Interesting... exact fit, not too tight. But the beam is not exactly on grid, this: https://photos.app.goo.gl/mHm9cGwz4y2BtZ8k7 is a forced fit.

OTOH even old (and very old) 24t gears don't rub against beam in this situation (even with some torque)...

Yes they do use the trusty but voltage limited LB1836M chip. So going above 10.5V means taking risks! Screenshots from the datasheet:

Yes, connexion is... sturdy! something I consider to be a good thing, just hope the new version is not too relaxed. I use a large rubber band to pull them to avoid (mostly!) sore fingers...

Another possible difference: I recorded the initialization sequence during hub power up without any BT sync with smart device. Any setup done on app initiative was thus not done.
