Printing colour names/codes in LPub3D
BrickEdge posted a topic in Digital LEGO: Tools, Techniques, and Projects
Is there a guide anywhere for working with LPub3D when you have a black & white (grayscale) printer? For example, I would like to add the name of a colour next to each part — or a colour code — so when I'm reading my printed instructions, I can determine the part's colour. Even seeing the colour info on the BOM would be useful. Note that I'm using macOS. Any advice on this issue would be appreciated. -

Please kindly watch on YouTube! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EDEP5pXAgkM A touchscreen is one of Human-Machine Interface. It is an input device and normally layered on the top of an electronic visual display of an information processing system. A user can give input or control the information processing system through simple or multi-touch gestures by touching the screen with a special stylus or one or more fingers.

LDD Export BOM is crashing
fasterthanlight posted a topic in LEGO Technic, Mindstorms, Model Team and Scale Modeling
Is anyone else experiencing this? I cannot export and of my models as BOM, which is very frustrating. Maybe someone with a working version of LDD can export these for me? I'd be very very grateful...... -

Part absent from BOM and PLI in LPub3D
BrickMonkeyMOCs posted a topic in Digital LEGO: Tools, Techniques, and Projects
I've just discovered an issue with instructions I have been making. I use LDraw/MLCad to design models, and then LPub4/3D to produce instructions, but have found that one specific part (26603 Tile 2x3) is not showing up in the BOM or PLI in LPub3D. The part shows up normally in LPub4, while in LPub3D (which I need in order to split BOM across pages) it is showing only in assembly images and is absent from PLI and BOM. Can anyone shed light on this issue for me? Is anyone else having the same problem with this part?
