Changes:
With the release of 0.8.53 you are able to...

  • ...benefit from about 100 different optimizations to LDPEs code base (I added 180000 lines and deleted 185000 lines since the last release).
  • ...benefit from a new, more robust and secure method which loads and saves LDPEs configuration file.
  • ...get improved hints and tips for the startup dialog (seen on first program start).

The following critical issues are fixed:

  1. Undo / Redo broke the 3D model if the file ended with empty lines or contained duplicated empty line groups.
  2. The calculated colour for transparent textures was too dark. (OpenGL 2.0)
  3. On MacOS X it was not possible to reassign a shortkey, because the dialog window had not the required focus for detecting the keyboard input.
  4. Avoided obvious divisions by zero on "zoom to fit" with empty models and by scaling a zero-height font with Txt2Dat.
  5. The 3D editor freezed by an BFC INVERTNEXT without a following TYPE 1 reference line.
  6. "Make subpart from 3D selection" duplicated "0 BFC INVERTNEXT" meta commands.

Make sure that you choose the right architecture for your OS and JVM (64bit).
Does my JVM support 64-bit?

  1. Download the zip-Archive
  2. Extract the archive content to the location of your choice
  • On windows, double-click "LDPartEditor.exe" to start LDPE.
  • On linux/mac, you have to execute the shell script "run.sh" to start LDPE.

Alternatively, you can download a setup file to install LDPE on Windows.
When you install/extract LDPE on Windows you will find your LDPE configuration files under
drive\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\LDPartEditor.
It is not recommended to use the "update.bat" script when you installed LDPE via the setup file.
Manually install the new version instead.

Please note that this software is in the beta stage. Although, this version was carefully tested and developed, there are already known issues for this release. There is a potential risk of data loss.

You can search for updates if you do the following steps:

  • On windows, double-click "update.bat" to search for updates.
  • On linux/mac, you have to excecute the shell script "update.sh".

LDPE is a 3D CAD application: The overall system requirements are higher. While I recommend to use a powerful 64-bit multicore system, it could be possible, to run LDPE on older machines as well.

System Requirements:

Minimum System Requirements:

  • 64-bit Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.8
  • OpenGL 2.1 compatible Graphics Card
  • Operating System (64-bit): Windows [7 or newer], Linux [e.g. Ubuntu Linux >=14.4], Mac OS X [>=10.6]
  • CPU: Multicore-Processor e.g. Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD Athlon II (>2.0Ghz)
  • RAM: 4GB
  • Video-Memory: 1 GB
  • Free Disk Space: 100 MB

Recommended Requirements:

  • 64-bit Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.8 (or newer)
  • Operating System (64bit): Windows 7,8,10, Linux [e.g. Ubuntu Linux >=14.4], Mac OS X [>=10.6]
  • OpenGL 3.3 compatible Graphics Card
  • CPU: Multicore-Processor with 4 cores (or more)
  • RAM: >4 GB
  • Video-Memory: >1 GB
  • Free Disk Space: 512 MB
  • For a faster start, the LDraw™ library should be installed on a SSD.

PS: I am still busy with the creation of the manual, so you "have to experiment" with my (complex) software product until you've got the manual.
