Looks like I broke the context menu in one of my recent changes, right now you have double right click to get it to show. I'll fix this to show with a single click again.
I don't have a way to export the flex parts so they will show up with their default shape in other tools. I can write an extension that will output the generated mesh for other programs but this will have some side effects: the files will be much bigger and other programs won't see the mesh as a part so they won't show in BOM, etc.. I think this is another place where the LSC should have stepped in and created an official language extension. I tried to use LSynth's format but I wanted to keep the length constant so flex parts still represent real parts and I wanted to be able to set what LSynth calls stiffness per control point to help users adjust the curve so I ended up with my own extension that no one else will support. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to handle this? The best I can think of is to make the actual part a comment, output the mesh and have LeoCAD read the part and ignore the mesh when loading a file. Something like this: 0 !LEOCAD SYNTH 0 1 16 xyz matrix part.dat 0 !LEOCAD SYNTH MESH BEGIN 2 xyz xyz ... 0 !LEOCAD SYNTH MESH END On Tue, May 17, 2016 at 11:49 PM, Philo <[email protected]> wrote: > Right click on a piece to add or remove control points. >> >> I thought I tried that... and indeed right click does nothing for me :( > > PS: Also check out the pivot point changes, just drag the move arrows >> with the right mouse to change it. >> > Yes, this works fine! > > Otherwise, is there a way to export flex parts in a way compatible with > other LDraw tools (LDView, LPub)? > > Philo > > _______________________________________________ > Leocad mailing list > [email protected] > https://list.gerf.org/listinfo/leocad >
