Changes:
With the release of 1.8.60 you are able to...

  • ...use the "!LPE CONST" meta command to define re-usable constants in parts and subparts.
  • ...use calculated expressions for constants, too.
  • ...quick-fix/replace constants with the text editor.
  • ...combine "!LPE CONST" with "!LPE CSG" meta commands (but not with !TEXMAP commands, yet).

Installation

Windows

  1. Download and run LDPartEditor-1.8.60.msi
  2. Start LDPartEditor from the start menu

Linux

  1. Download and install ldparteditor_1.8.60-1_amd64.deb
  2. Start LDPartEditor from the menu or via launcher

Mac OS X

  1. Download and extract LDPartEditor_mac_x64.zip
  2. Mount LDPartEditor-1.8.60.dmg
  3. Drag LDPartEditor.app to the Applications folder
  4. Copy ldparteditor.sh to your home folder
    4a. Open a Terminal.app and run ./ldparteditor.sh
    4b. Or open a Terminal.app and run /Applications/LDPartEditor.app/Contents/MacOS/LDPartEditor

When you install LDPE on Windows you will find your LDPE configuration files under
drive\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\LDPartEditor.


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:

  • 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:

  • 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.

Pre-release

imgduke2

With the release of 1.8.55 you are able to...

  • ...to see a warning for subpart references with no content. You can also transform empty subparts and "see" them as a single vertex in the 3D editor.
  • ...use "Show Selection in Text Editor" to show the first line that uses that vertex, when you selected a vertex (or the next lines when you repeat the function).
  • ...benefit from a better contrast of hidden lines in the text editor.

The following critical issues are fixed:

  1. Empty primitives couldn't be selected/rotated (e.g. 1-16chrd's)
  2. The zoom value for newly created files was not the default value (3D Editor)
  3. When the user did not wanted to save the file in the text editor it was still displayed in the 3D editor.
  4. "Show selection in 3D View" did not select the vertices from subfiles.
  5. When you used separate text and 3D windows and created a new file, a new text window was opened, instead of using a new tab in the already opened text window.
  6. If you used "save as", a new file was created, but no text window or tab was created, although the sync tabs button was active.
  7. "Sync. 3D Editor Tabs with Text Editor" setting was sometimes deactivated.
  8. (back-ported to 1.8.54) LDPartEditor 1.8.54 won't start on Linux (because of a classpath error)
  9. Minor IO error regarding the "(no file selected)" tab.

Choose a tag to compare
Pre-release

imgduke2

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).

  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.

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:

  • 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.
