7685 updated to LDD 4.3.5

Sets updated to LDD 4.3.5: 8110, 8041, 8049, 8065, 8066

I have not seen any option to do that in LDD to POV-Ray, so I did it manually. After stopping the render I added Continue_Trace=on on a new line at the end of the generated .ini file. Then it will continue where it left off the next time you open the .ini file in POV-Ray and start the render. Just remember to start LDD to POV-Ray before you start the render, because of the virtual file system with the include files.

Wow, just wow! I've been offline during the summer and just recently discovered this wonderful piece of software. Great documentation as well, to get the users started. Thank you hrontos and Superkalle! Off-topic: It's been almost 20 years since I last played with POV-Ray, at that time emulating a math coprocessor on my 486SX 20MHz. I remember a 800x600 render which took more than 14 days of rendering time to complete...

Ah, how did I miss that? Sounds exactly like my experience while building this model.

D'oh! I had this finished on Friday, but didn't have time to post it before heading out for the weekend... What trickery did you do to place that "conical wheel z12" in the far back? In my model it would not fit due to a collision with the cross axle above it, and while it fits in your model I can still see the collision.

Working on 8110 Mercedes-Benz Unimog U 400. Update: Finished the car itself in both LDD and real life. Starting on the attachments

8071 Bucket Truck - Theme: Technic - LXF file Errors: 1x Black Hose, Rigid 3mm D. 12L / 9.6cm missing in LDD, replaced with Hose, Soft Axle 11. No stickers.

I would, but I'm currently moving to another city. Once I'm up and running in the new apartment I'll have a look at whatever has not been built yet.

No stickers.

Very nice list Toa_Of_Justice! I've noticed some irregular behaviour with 59426, but never sat down to compile such an overview. Good job!

Oh, is that why rotation has been acting so weird? I use 'a' and 'w' for rotating, and I have been very annoyed by this behaviour for a while now. Pretty please, bring back the old way...

8292 Cherry Picker - Theme: Technic - LXF file Errors: 1x White Technic, Gear 24 Tooth Clutch missing. 2x Trans-Orange Plate, Round 1 x 1 Straight Side do not connect to the sides of Yellow Crane Arm Outside, New Wide with Pin Hole at Mid-Point, put in place with scaffolding. No stickers.

I attached those wheels like Calabar did on the original model and tilted the hot rod forward a bit here. I think there is at least one color error, but I'm leaving that to our expert Aanchir

Thanks, I forgot that one. Made a note in the post. D'oh. I even submitted an inventory change request to Bricklink to change them into Transparent Bright Orange, but forgot to change those two. LXF file updated. Thanks, that looks much better indeed. LXF and picture updated. Ouch, that's my bad as I made the Bricklink inventory also Made a note about it in the post. You are right, it is indeed 17L in LDD, but I am not able to see what (if any) error I've done in the model which currently needs a 18L to connect both ends? The inventory listing in the back of the building instructions also lists the 17L.

Edit: LXF updated with correct colors.

8081 Extreme Cruiser - Theme: Technic - LXF file Errors: 2x Light Bluish Gray Technic, Gear 16 Tooth (New Style Reinforced) not present in LDD, replaced with 2x Light Bluish Gray Technic, Gear 16 Tooth (Old Style with Round Holes). 2x Black Technic, Axle 4 do not fit in windscreen frame because 2x Light Bluish Gray Technic, Axle and Pin Connector Toggle Joint Smooth do not rotate far enough, replaced with 2x Black Technic Axle 3. 1x Black Hose, Rigid 3mm D. 12L / 9.6cm missing. 4x Light Bluish Gray Wheel 43.2mm D. x 26mm Technic Racing Small, 6 Pinholes not present in LDD, replaced with 4x Light Bluish Gray Wheel 43.2mm D. x 26mm Technic Racing Small, 3 Pinholes 4x Black Tire 68.7 x 34 R do connect to the wheels. No stickers. Edit: Updated with Calabar's fixes.

I went through the instructions again. 1x 32184 was indeed missing (LXF file updated), but the other two seem to be correct. My best guess is that the extra parts are for the B-model, which I'll build later. There are no worm gears in the 8049 B-model, except for the two light stone grey ones which are part of the custom pneumatic pump. Thanks a lot for the error checking!
