Nachapon Bricks

Thanks, only the T joint and elbow with stud are new. I found other three in LDD. I think it should be good with metalic or chrome colors and connect a red valve(steer wheel 2x2) onto the middle stud of the T joint.(maybe on next CG update) With many of these parts we can build a maze of piping system.

I'm glad that you like them and thanks for good suggestion. I will try to design more versatile part like this one. I changed the picture with both 3 and 1 new parts versions for easy to compare Adjustable angle range 90-180 degree. Also can use as wing edge of an airplane. Heptagon sample.

Log Cabin profile bricks. Can insert doors or windows. The inside can looks as good as outside by modify the cornerbrick. (next update) LEGO log_cabin bricks by nachapon by Nachapon S., on Flickr LEGO log cabin bricks by_nachapon by Nachapon S., on Flickr

Thanks, My link I fix the triangle one, but the pentagon one still incorrect. LEGO new brick design triangle and pentagon corner by nachapon by Nachapon S., on Flickr

For the castle.. LEGO new brick design hexagon_profile corner by nachapon by Nachapon S., on Flickr

With similar design, the angle of the corner bricks can be 30/60/120/150 degree, Pentagon, Hexagonal, and 3-4-5 triangel's angle, etc.(coming soon) Opps! I just found the triangle one will collision the 2x1 brick. I will correct it soon.

Thanks for nice comment to let me think about 45 degree brick again. All walls can insert door or window, look better and stronger than other 45 degree wall. We can always find a way to place them onto a base plate or build a roof.

Please take a look at my new SNOT version water slide parts design assembly sample(3 studs width)(5/7 new parts set). All of the support can attach 3 studs from bottom. And they are different level by ? x plates height. From top: 2 x down hill spiral (CW, CCW part coming soon) down hill down hill morph to level (Invert part coming soon) straight 90 degree lego water slide v3 by nachapon bbqqq by Nachapon S., on Flickr

Good work! Didn't notice that no one make this set. I closed the cockpit. pic LXF

OK, I will do it as soon as I fix the lags angle, extend length and piece removed.

Good work! I tried to re-pose it, but rotate the leg not enough so all legs become a bit too long. LXF pic

What win7 driver do you use? From AMD or Acer web? I will try it. So do I. Automatic screen rotation didn't work with win8 CP.

I use APU driver for win8 P 32bit instead of GPU driver. Maybe win7 GPU driver can work with item 1 and 2. I just found that there is a GPU driver for 6xxxM (w500=6250M) win8 on AMD web. Should we try that one? Not sure what different with APU one. Edit: Found that both lead to same download. Maybe driver for win8 (and win8 itself) still bug and not optimize yet.

Maybe I didn't explain well. The Acer w500 got on March 2011, first old version. Installed Win8 consumer preview 32 bit on 2nd partition(dual boot) + AMD Win8 driver. LDD problem in Win8 1 Can not enable AA AF. 2 Run slower with big model compare to Win7.(I didn't measure FPS, but easy notice-able when turn the camera) 3 Can not turn/flip bricks by touch function (flicks) as in the video clip.(or I don't know how to) 4 Can not quick focus/center bricks.

LDD runs on Windows 8 not as good as on Windows 7. LEGO LDD on tablet PC Windows 8 7 dual boot (& POV-Ray ).

I found that Excel can solve the fomular very quick. My link

This topic become a mathematic class. We know that trial and error method is quick and good enough way to solve this problem. We try to find ideal angle just for fun. I agree with Rook that if all hinges are at the same side then it will be easier to solve. It will become as sketch below. Use red and blue triangle can find the ideal angles set. 5 / sin A = R = 28.42973795 / sin 6A , then find angle A angle2 by Nachapon S., on Flickr Excel: 5/(SIN(B4*PI()/180)) - 28.4297379516589/(SIN((B4*PI()/180)*6)) Then trail and error cell B4 to make the result closer and closer to zero.(R-R=0, then same R) A = 5.469182598479° R = 52.4601998774508 Angle #2-6 = 169.061634803042° I test this result by draw a sketch with above data and it seems correct. It is difficult to keep angle #2-6 equal and keep all six segment (10x5 + 10.04987562112089027021926491276x1 (paste from calculator):Because the first hinge is different) keep connect at the same. Your calculation is great. I will try to study them. That is a good idea, DLuders. Just build it with real brick then measure the angles in real world.

Maybe there is only one angles set that the arch most tan to the bottom line. (This one just close to that, for the ideal one: angle# 2,3,4,5,6 should be all the same and close to #7.) angle by Nachapon S., on Flickr

Try "Rotation Model" function of MLCad, It limit 20 bricks height. So you may need to separate making upper and lower part. But the result not look so good. Maybe Lsculpt can do better.

The colors are also auto generated by LSculpt to show plates with same height.
