    By “color of the tool box,” I mean the background color on top, below the menu, where the tools icons are. To change mode: menu View / New themes / LDD Extended. HTH.
  3. SylvainLS
    Then you’re not in Extended. Check that the tool box is brown, not blue. If you loaded a “normal LDD” file, you have to change the mode again. (The mode of the file overrides the current mode.)
  4. SylvainLS
    Which one?

    You’re happy the ball was removed?
  6. SylvainLS
    Oh and 23065 BALL Ø 52 MM, CHARCOAL GREY was removed. (= Ball 52mm Diameter 22119.dat)

    There are 6 new images: 2 faces (Faun and Jewel Thief of CMF15) and torsos (for Jewel Thief (and back), and Shark Suit Guy) and something I can’t identify. Nope. No new cockpit. Look at Superkalle’s post.

    Update 2016-10-03 Added (new parts in 4.3.10): 23443 / 23443.dat Bar Tube with Handle 24599 / 24599.dat Brick 5 x 5 Corner Round 25214 / 25214.dat Cylinder 2 x 2 Elbow with Axle Holes 24947 / 24947.dat Dome 2 x 2 Inverted Ovoid with Studs 23950 / 23950.dat Panel 1 x 3 x 1 with Rounded Corners 25893 / 25893.dat Plate 1 x 1 Round with Horizontal Handle Below 26047 / 26047.dat Plate 1 x 1 Round with Horizontal Handle on Side 26287 / 26287.dat Technic Axle Joiner 3L 24121 / 24121.dat Technic Gear Ring Quarter 11 x 11 with 35 Teeth 24119 / 24119.dat Technic Panel Smooth 7 x 2 x 3 25269 / 25269.dat Tile 1 x 1 Corner Round 19071 / 19071c01.dat Electric Power Functions 2.0 Hub with Battery Also added: all the parts (1068 parts + 42 subparts for assemblies) available at digital-bricks.de that are not yet in LDraw. I didn’t test them all yet, but as they are a direct conversion from LDD, they shouldn’t need a transformation (other than identity). I will replace them as soon as they are available in LDraw. I also updated these files if you want to help: The assemblies for which parts are missing (dark grey are missing, white is the rest of the parts of the assembly we already have the LDraw parts for). The list of LDD parts that I know no LDraw equivalent for: CSV (columns: LDD ID, LDD name, guessed BrickLink ID, BrickLink name).

    That’s right but “!-- … --” are just comments you know
  10. SylvainLS
    (Durn! Can’t cut the quotes anymore.) About a template: Could you develop on what more is needed than a simple copy-paste of a transformation line (either one in the file or one of the examples in the howto)? About digital-bricks.de: I didn’t add/use them for several reasons, mainly because I simply forgot about them , and they are all-in-one files not using LDraw primitives, so they don’t fit well. As for making them available, what I can do is add them in ldraw.xml. Leave me a few days….

    Update 2016-10-02 Added new unofficial parts: 47404 / 47404.dat Boat Base 10 x 12 64645 / 64645.dat Boat Base 10 x 16 Stern / Bow 64651 / 64651.dat Boat Base 13 x 16 Stern / Bow (47404.dat has little problems though.)

    Update 2016-09-30 Added: 21229 / 21229.dat Fence Spindled 4 x 4 x 2 Quarter Round with 3 Studs 96487 / 96487.dat Plant Flower with 5 Serrated Petals with Pin Added some LDraw colors for import (rubbers and the like; imported as plain).
  13. SylvainLS
    As I said, it’s just an “also” solution. Not anymore
  14. SylvainLS
    Note that you can also export to LDraw, move the piston there, and import the result in LDD. A bit easier than try to find the correct values when the part is already rotated. (You’ll need my latest ldraw.xml file and some unofficial LDraw parts.)
  15. SylvainLS
    To be fair, LDraw’s purpose is different, so it’s logical some differences should appear. Then, a lot of those DBs were built upon each other. But they were updated in parallel, either by happensance (or “death,” like Peeron’s), or on purpose (frictions between communities/goals). It seems re-syncing them isn’t really an option anymore. Also note that Brickset’s DB is LEGO’s: they don’t care about old parts, or variants. Suitable for LEGO’s production, less for MOCers, not at all for collectors. (And, AFAIK, they download things from LEGO directly. So an API does exist.)

    The “color barrier” is otherwise known as the horizon. Your “ground plane” is light cyan, your “background”/sky is tan. If you don’t want to see the sky, look down (that is, move your camera and make it look down).

    Update 2016-09-23 Added: 21271 / 21271.dat Minifig Hoverboard 24085 / 24085.dat Minifig Mop

    Note that this button leads to a page that depends on your current running OS. So don’t be confused that everybody don’t get the exact same list.

    With spaces between options: java -Xmx4G -cp "bin/*" bluerender.BlueRender but not between Xmx and 4G (go figure…).

    bat for “batch”: do things in “batch” / lots / groups / etc. It’s a legacy from DOS. It’s what’s also called a “script.” It’s just a text file to group commands. Asking Windows to launch it (via a link or by typing its name in a command prompt or a shell window) makes it do what’s said in it by the simple (and very stupid) only fact that the extension is “bat.” By default, bluerender.bat contains @ECHO OFF java -cp "bin/*" bluerender.BlueRender pause That just means: line 1: “echo off” = turn off displaying what you’re doing, and “@” = don’t say you’re turning it off. line 2: Launch the “java” program with the options “-cp bin/*” and “bluerender.BlueRender”, which tell java that libraries (= classpath = cp) are in the “bin” directory and the main class / program to run is named “blurender.Bluerender”. line 3: Wait for user input to terminate. That gives the user an opportunity to see output and especially error messages. You can add options to java by just editing the file with Notepad or whatever the simplest editor is called nowadays.
  21. SylvainLS
    Bluerender is run via a batch file, bluerender.bat, a simple text file that launches java with the right options to run Bluerender. Just add “-Xmx4G” between “java” and its other options. This option means memory usage can go up to 4GiB. The memory suckers are Chrome and LDD. If run for a long time, they can get big. As for running Bluerender and LDD together, maybe yours don’t use the same db.lif file? A copy?
  22. SylvainLS
    Although defaults should be sufficient, try adding the option “-Xmx4G” to java in the .bat file. And try without the memory suckers. (I thought Bluerender and LDD couldn’t run together because LDD locks the db.lif file?)
  23. SylvainLS
    How much RAM have you got? Are you running other programs in parallel?
  24. SylvainLS
    The one and only part in LDD that responds to the search for “pneu” is 30228, The Pneumatic Hammer (a minifig tool). IOW, I don’t think there’re pneumatic parts in LDD. About LDDManager, I’ve no idea….
  25. SylvainLS
    I was fed up with little errors, the untidyness (that I uselessly kept to make comparisons easy), and had time on my hands. Thanks. Corrected.
