Changes:
With the release of 0.8.24 you are able to...

  • ...use per-component rounding (X, Y, Z) instead of the per-vertex rounding (useful for patterns on slopes).
  • ...use the metadata dialog (AKA "header dialog") on the text editor, too.
  • ...benefit from a faster program start.

The following critical issues are fixed:

  1. It was not possible to activate "Create a new conditional line..." via a shortkey.
  2. The new LDU to stud converter did not round correctly (20 LDU = 1 stud, rounded to one decimal place)
  3. The Merge/split->Set X,Y,Z window appears only with a single vertex selection, it no longer works on a multiple selection (eg. to snap a selection on a plane).
  4. The error message "Invalid use of 'BFC INVERTNEXT' / Flat subfile" got duplicated.

Make sure that you choose the right architecture for your OS and JVM (64bit or 32bit).
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 "run.bat" to start LDPE.
    • On linux/mac, you have to execute the shell script "run.sh" to start LDPE.

Please note that this software is in the beta stage. Although, LDPE 0.8.24 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:

  • Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.8
  • OpenGL 2.1 compatible Graphics Card
  • Operating System (32/64bit): Windows [XP; Vista; 7 or newer], Mac OS X [>=10.6], Linux [e.g. Ubuntu Linux >=10.4]
  • 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, Mac OS X [>=10.6], Linux [e.g. Ubuntu Linux >=10.4]
  • 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.
