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

[Jetro]

en TechnicBRICKS, Blakbird comentó lo siguiente:

Yes, you can easily open an SR3D file in either MLCAD or Bricksmith. The format is the same. The first thing you do is just change the file extension from L3B to ldr. Then open up the file in the text editor and add a new line at the start which has just a "0". MLCAD and Bricksmith need a "header" row at the start and "0" is a comment which works for this. SR3D just starts right in with data on the first row which confuses MLCAD. So for you SR3D people, just save the file, change to .ldr, and add a 0 at the beginning. Conchas should then be able to read it fine.

Espero que futuras versiones de SR3D puedan ser aún más compatibles con MLCad, incluyendo esa primera línea que no contiene más que un "0". :guino:

SR 3D builder es un programa para la construcción virtual con LEGO, usando la biblioteca de elementos de LDraw y especialmente intereante para constructores Technic.

Sergio es italiano, pero suele anunciar sus actualizaciones en ingles.

I'm sorry, but I've assumed that all people on this forum already knows about my application.
I apologize for that.   :E

Muchas gracias por la explicación, es que me extrañaba. Sergio, te entendería mejor en italiano pero entiendo que la mayoría entienda más el inglés.

Hi!
Well, I´m going to buy some technic, and I am downloading your application, thanks for all

[Legomikos]

I'm not a huge Technic fan, but the application looks nice. I have just downloaded it, and I will have to learn to use it. I hope someone writes a Tutorial for the SR 3D... o_o Thanks for this great work. :)

Here I am again!
(hope not to bore you too much...)

I'm sure I won't get bored with it. :D


Espero no haber dicho nada mal.;-)

SR 3D Builder made PORTABLE

Hi
here are the instructions for how to create a portable version of my application (maybe someone need it):
Things should be by far much more easy than you expect if PC you would like to run my application on already meets the requirements (MS framework 2.0 and correct DirectX version).

Following these steps should work, assuming you have a USB memory with 128MB or more free space as U: drive and you have performed a standard application installation of my SR3DBuilder:
1- Copy the contents of the c:\lDraw folder and subfolders into U:\
2- Create a folder on U to store my application system files (i.e. U:\SR3DB)
3- Copy the contents of my application installation folder (usually c:\Program Files\SR3DBuilder) in U:\SR3DB (you can avoid copying the unins*.* and fulldownload.exe files )
4- Start SR3DBuilder.exe from U:\SR3DB
5a- If prompted for choosing the part library folder, choose U:\lDraw
5b- If NOT prompted for choosing the part library folder, choose File-->Setup Directory from SR3DB menu and select U:\lDraw folder

you should be able to run the application from the USB stick now. It works at first try for me!!
Please also notice the following:
- on any computer you run SR3DB the first time or anytime your USB stick change its associated drive letter you have to repeat step 5a
- parts image loading will be tedious the first time are displayed (then will be cached)
- the extension .l3b is not associated with the application
- some registry entries are written while using the application
- maybe some other issues

Awesome New!!!

Thanks Sergio  :lengua:

Hi again,
after a bit long wait time, here is my application new release.
Nothing really exciting, just some fixes and some improvements especially in the user interface, so no videos this time.

It is highly recommended that you preserve a copy of your existing executable since many deep changes have been done and some new unexpected error may occur.
I really need feedback about new bugs or malfunctioning and also if everything works fine

Download as always from https://staff.polito.it/sergio.reano/

Following a list of the many changes.
Enjoy

Sergio
_______________________________________

Version 0.5.6.8 - Changes to previous version

Added

  part, hold down SHIFT while selecting

- A little support for model authoring under Edit menu item
Fixed
- Some issues in groups (root group selection was causing some kind of malfunctioning)
- Undo/redo long time operations now correctly use progress bar indicator (low left corner)
- Hinge solver with universal joint connection now works: even if you may have to manually adjust joint
  center rotation, animation and connection are anyway granted
- Baseplate connections are now better identified
- Animating a model that involves belt translation or rotation causes belt definition being wasted after saving
  model position
- Creating a belt between pins causes belt not being correctly saved
- Better support for different font size in toolbox
Changed

- Toolbox images now load in background: no longer time waste

Grandes noticias! Muchas gracias por este trabajo compañero!

Traducción del texto:

Hola de nuevo,

depués de una larga espera, aquí está la nueva versión de mi aplicación.
Nada increible, simplemente algunos errores solucionadoes y mejoras, especialmente en la interfaz de usuario, sin videos en esta ocasión.

Es altamente recomendable que guardeis una copia de vuestro archivo ejecutable ya que se han hecho grandes cambios y pueden ocurrir errores inesperados.
Necesito información acerca de los errores o mal funcionamiento que detecteis, y también si todo funciona perfectamente.

Descargadlo como siempre de  https://staff.polito.it/sergio.reano/


A continuación una lista con los numerosos cambios.
Disfrutadlo

Sergio

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Versión 0.5.6.8 - Cambios con la versión anterior

Añadido

- Mayor soporte para montajes: seleccionando una pieza, toda parte montada que lo rodea será seleccionada. Para seleccionar una sola pieza, mantener pulsado SHIFT (mayúsculas) durante la selección.
- Ver las uniones entre piezas para mejorar la calidad del modelo. Usa  el cuadro de preferencias para cambiar el tamaño de las uniones
- Una pequeña ayuda para firmar el modelo en menú Edit

Problemas solucionados
- Algunos temas en grupos (la selección en el grupo raíz estaba causando algún tipo de mal funcionamiento)
- Deshacer/Rehacer largas operaciones ahora utiliza de forma correcta la barra indicadora de progresos (esquina inferior izquierda)
- El solucionador de hinges con conexión universal ahora funciona: incluso si has ajustado manualmente la unión al centro de rotación, la animación y conexión están garantizadas.
- Las conexiones a baseplates están mejor identificadas.
- Animar un modelo que implica rotación o traslación causa una cinta de traslación que será eliminada después de guardar la posición del modelo.
- Crear una cinta entre pins provoca que dicha cinta no se guarde correctamente.
- Mejor apoyo de los diferentes tamaños de fuente (letra) en las herramientas.

Cambiado
- Las herramientas ahora tienen la posibilidad de esconderse o cambiarse de tamaño.
- Las imágenes de las herramientas se cargan en segundo plano, no más tiempo desperdiciado.
- Un pequeño acceso de inicio rápido y carga de modelos anteriores.
