SR 3D Builder - A new software for creating LEGO models with PC

[Jetro]

This was the content of my Lego3D.ini:

[Lego 3D Cad]
VertexOptimization=50
ViewMode=0
UseHiResPrim=False

But even with the ini file changed the program still complains it cannot find the file.

However, when I go to C:\deploy\SR3DBuilder_0_2_2_9 and double click the SR3DBuilder.exe file it works so the problem appears to be the shortcut in the Programs tree. Unlike other entries it's a dead end: I can't see where it leads to and although it has the typical shortcut arrow it doesn't seem to be a real shortcut for anything.

Hi
here is my Easter gift:

a new release of my application is available on

http://staff.polito.it/sergio.reano/

now with
- full uncerified part support
- full group management
- many fixes on undo/redo

have fun

Sergio

PS: I really need help in patching parts connections. Any voluntaries ? It will be very appreciated !!!!!

[Jetro]

tell me what that means exactly. What should I be able to do?

[xSergio74]

It's a new Software for building lego model with your PC. It's like Lego Digital Designe, but uses lDraw parts definition.

have a look on the website. It worth

tell me what that means exactly. What should I be able to do?

[Jetro]

Shoul dhave been more specific: what do you need volunteers to do. How do I patch part connections.
Not sure I have time, but I'm certainly interested.

[xSergio74]

I try to explain:
my prog automatically detect connections when associated to parts in lDraw\P folder.
For example when a STUD.DAT part is found, it automatically associate a stud connection in the correct position.
This works fine in 90% of cases, but when there should be a connection not associated with a part (a hinge connection is a typical example) I have to manually add it to the part defnition.
To do this in a 'easy' way i have created a built in functionality (available in the debug version of the prog) that allow users to see where identified connections are, the ability to add new conns of a specific type and to save the modification in the \lDraw\Conns folder.

After doing this it's a good practice and HIGLY RECOMENDED to test any modification in a model

At the moment I think to have patched about half the part that need to, and a help from anybody it would be greately appreciated, expecially if the result is tested, fully functional patched part.

It takes about 10 minutes to patch and test a normal complex part.

if anyone want to try, dowload the debug version of the prog from the download section (it is a NEW release and includes TOWBALL connection management) and read documentation

Shoul dhave been more specific: what do you need volunteers to do. How do I patch part connections.
Not sure I have time, but I'm certainly interested.

If I ignore the error and allow the app to continue loading it shows attached image 1 in the bottom left corner and never goes past 71 (I suppose that's not what it should do)

Also I can only access the parts groups you can see in the second attached image.

If I try to load the Indicator.dat I get a fast load tim, but no image.

Looks like something unexpected happened...

Jetro, eres un beta tester de la leche ^_^

[Jetro]

Hombre, decir "no funciona" no sirve de mucho  :D

[xSergio74]

Hi,
to solve the problem, try do the following:
- delete parts00.lst file in c:\ldraw folder: this file is used by my prog and is recretated if not found. you will experience a 20-40sec delay in starting application before loading images.
- if problem is not solved, try the following:
    - note the image having the problem (in your screenshoot the appl loads up to 71 images, and the problem was on 72)
    - close the application
    - open the recreated parts00.lst with notepad (or whatever ascii editor)
    - goto the noted line (in the example 72) and be sure it is not and empty line but is like all other lines
    - if this is the case, send me the whole parts00.lst file and i'll check

bye

[Jetro]

Deleting the parts00.lst file caused a 2 minute delay, but resulted in the same problem reoccurring.

Line 72 in my parts00.lst read:

ARROW_75.DAT  Arrow_75

The parts00.lst file is too big to attach so I'll send it to you by email.

One more thing. The installation created a shortcut on my desktop, but there is no shortcut to start the program in the Program menu (only 'uninstall' and 'website')

Oh, and before I forget... what does the installation do exactly to my installed ldraw parts? If I install new parts do I need to erase parts00.lst again to force the program to recognise new or reinstalled parts?
