|
| All Tires in Bricklink have the same problem now:
1) When mated to a Wheel, the tire always ends up on a corner of the "contact
patch" (the greenish box showing the size of the tire, rather than staying
on a side.
2) Any attempt to rotate the tire to a side results in all three rotation arrows
activating, and cause the entire model to rotate, regardless of which arrow is
used.
3) It is impossible to screenshot any of this, as any attempt to screenshot results
in the arrows being switched off.
This needs to be fixed yesterday.

Hi,

| Is there any way you can move a piece (using a key or button or something) vertically
up or down in a model without having to drag and drop the piece out and up? I
am working on a large build and just had to replace some 6x8 plates with 6x10
so it threw my whole model off a little bit and am trying to fix it in the most
efficient way possible.

Hi,
First, the dedicated forum for Studio and PartDesigner is https://forum.bricklink.com/
(hover over the red Studio icon on every page, then click “Studio Forum”).
You can search the forum for your question before posting a new one (the search
box is in the very dark grey banner).
There’s also indexes of known bugs and suggestions that you can browse first:
Studio: https://forum.bricklink.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5579
PartDesigner: https://forum.bricklink.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=5589
Then, there’s been a few bugs with the COLLADA export but, AFAIK, they have almost
all been fixed.
One thing that may happen though is a problem with submodels: it seems the submodels’
positions are not always understood (by Blender for instance).
The main thread is here: https://forum.bricklink.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=6159
(And people alluded to it a couple times… but without specifics.)
So I would first try to release all the submodels before exporting.
Anyway, note that the COLLADA format doesn’t pose any problem to Eyesight (it’s
the same as the DAE sent to Eyesight, the Photorealistic renderer, based on Blender’s
Cycles).
Also, as you can see, the afore mentioned thread is short and has had no follow-up,
so I’m not sure it has been fixed and came back (doesn’t seem so but I don’t
have all the infos on the bugs) but what I’m certain of is that no one bumped
it.
I’m not saying that bugs always need to be bumped to be solved but it sure helps
to know people are interested in seeing them fixed

| Trying to make a random fig in studio, but any accessories or heads that go on
the torso won't go on without a fight.
I got the neck accessory on after about a halfhour of fighting, but now the head
won't go on.
I position it so it looks like it's on but as soon as I unselect it grays
out.

“…hahaha” = the part actually becomes an overcooked noodle, it’s stretched, and
it goes every which way but the one you want.
“importing the straight LDraw part” = if the hose is XX and you import a file
that just uses XX.dat, then you’re importing the unflexed part. And, AFAICT,
LeoCAD doesn’t bend parts in its LDraw files. It uses the part (XX.dat) and
adds a comment to tell itself how to bend the part when it will reload it. That
comment is obviously not interpreted by PartDesigner or Studio (or LDView or
other LDraw tools).
So, no, you can’t import an LDraw file with flexed parts made in LeoCAD. You
indeed need to go through another format to force LeoCAD to write the triangles
of the part when flexed, and then use PartDesigner.
(
I think something similar happens with LDCad, but with its own syntax of course.
LSynth ‘correctly’ uses subparts to make the flexed parts… but then it has
no UI. And so you can keep everything in the LDraw format. But you also end
up with multiple (sub)parts and no relation to the BrickLink part… so you generally
also go through PartDesigner to add that.
IINM, MLCad uses LSynth.
For LDD, you can use lxf2ldr(.html), my converter(s), that generates() LSynth
commands (so you need LSynth too).
)

| | BTW, I just spent an hour on this, if you import an lDraw file containing a Hose
rigid 3mm in PartDesigner, then when you export to Studio it shows an "empty"
(void) part.
Same if directly importing a Hose rigid 3mm in PD and Export it to Studio.
|
|
Hmm, it must be because the part is flexible in Studio. But that’s weird.
The exported part simply says “use XX.dat,” where XX.dat is the 3D model for
the hose. So Studio sees it the same way as the flexible part… well, I’m not
clear on why that prevents Studio from showing it but that’s the only lead I
have
| | | | The only way it works is:
* create or import the lDraw in Leocad,
* export as Wavefront (.obj),
* import in PD,
* export to Studio.
|
|
In that case, you’re exporting a new 3D model, not linked to the part’s (file)name.
So Studio doesn’t have it in its database.
Maybe it could also work if you simply fed PD the XX.dat of the part but under
another filename.
(Studio doesn’t have the subparts/primitives u9053.dat (end) and 77.dat (hose
section) as parts and even less as flexible parts, so there should be no need
to do the rename dance further down the hierarchy.)
| | Or, depending what's your doing, simply opening the lDraw in Studio, copy
this part(s) and past if (them) in Studio.
|
Or just directly use the part that’s in Studio, no?

Well, the Faun/Animal legs aren’t in Studio now and they weren’t there as of
a few months ago.
There were ugly converted-from-LDD 3D models and those were cleaned and made
official in LDraw 23-02, but I don’t think they have had time to make it into
Studio, and, anyway, they are the plain versions, there’s no decorated version
in LDraw.
|
But what about the other regular minifigure legs? Were there any that were removed?
It seems to me like the amount on Stud.io is less than it used to be.

Hmm, it must be because the part is flexible in Studio. But that’s weird.
The exported part simply says “use XX.dat,” where XX.dat is the 3D model for
the hose. So Studio sees it the same way as the flexible part… well, I’m not
clear on why that prevents Studio from showing it but that’s the only lead I
have
| | | | The only way it works is:
* create or import the lDraw in Leocad,
* export as Wavefront (.obj),
* import in PD,
* export to Studio.
|
|
In that case, you’re exporting a new 3D model, not linked to the part’s (file)name.
So Studio doesn’t have it in its database.
Maybe it could also work if you simply fed PD the XX.dat of the part but under
another filename.
(Studio doesn’t have the subparts/primitives u9053.dat (end) and 77.dat (hose
section) as parts and even less as flexible parts, so there should be no need
to do the rename dance further down the hierarchy.)
| | Or, depending what's your doing, simply opening the lDraw in Studio, copy
this part(s) and past if (them) in Studio.
|
Or just directly use the part that’s in Studio, no?
I’ll keep that bug “under my elbow” and throw it at the devs when they don’t
expect it, mwahaha!

Unless you’re talking about using an LDD/LXF file with that dolphin. That would
mean you need LDD to make that file first.
And then:
1. I still don’t see how LeoCAD could import it if there’s no LDraw file for
it on your system first.
2. Studio can also import LDD files and has some of Digital Bricks’ files to
do that even when the parts aren’t in its Main palette (but not that dolphin).
Sounds like a mathematician’s solution:
Problem 1: You a match, a pot. How do you make boiled water?
Solution 1: You find wood. You arrange the wood to make a fire. You light it.
You find a source of water. You fill the pot with water. You put the pot on
the fire. You wait.
Problem 2: You have a fire, a match, a pot full of water. How do you make boiled
water?
Solution 2: You empty the pot on the fire. You’re now in the same situtation
as problem 1.

Hi,
First, the usual note: the dedicated forum for Studio and PartDesigner
is https://forum.bricklink.com/ (hover over the red Studio icon on every page,
then click “Studio Forum”).
Please search the forum for your question before posting a new one (the search
box is in the very dark grey banner).
There’s indexes of known bugs and suggestions that you can browse first:
Studio: https://forum.bricklink.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5579
PartDesigner: https://forum.bricklink.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=5589
There’s a subforum, aptly named “Studio Parts,” to ask for parts: https://forum.bricklink.com/viewforum.php?f=6
And there’s a nice “I can’t find this part” FAQ https://forum.bricklink.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=6368
Then, there’s a 3D model on digital-bricks.de, a raw conversion from LDD,
plain/no decor. You can import it in Studio through PartDesigner.
(And it even doesn’t look as bad as LDD models generally look )
