![]() ![]() If Lego (or somebody else) uploads my models then it's copyright infringement, i.e. If I upload my designs then I agree to transferring all rights to Lego. There is a big difference in me uploading my designs or somebody else. If I share my work then I want to decide how and with whom I do that. If you upload a model, Lego has the right to sell it, produce it or use it in any other way without paying you a penny. This is not about sharing, it's about me not wanting to transfer all rights to my designs to Lego, which is exaclty what happens if you upload to the DBM gallery (just read the rules). I prefer spending my time on long-term Calabar And building another model from 300 parts or more will take more time than programming the shopping script mentioned above. But they do have their regulations, so sending a bunch of parts won't work. I agree, the models at Lego aren't really that good. In case I find time for some tests I'll let you know the results. So one could keep triggering the Javascript rather fast and simply compare the bricks count in the shopping basket in the end. It should be rather easy, because Lego uses AJAX and doesn't reload the page. My approach would be a frameset with a combination of PHP (for parsing the LXFML file) and Javascript (for calling the addBrick function). Having a Javascript doing all the ordering would be even cooler. Yap, listing the element numbers in the summary of the LDDmanager would be a cool feature. Have you seen the models? They aren't exactly good if you see what I Superkalle (Oh, and about TLG only intersted in good models throught the DbM on-line gallery? I honestly don't thinks so. ![]() It'd be a great story to tell here on the forum? Otherwise, if you want help right now to get a list of LEGO DesignIDs and ElementIDs for your model, you can PM it to me and I'll send a list back to you (and no, you don't have to send me the full design Just dismantle away.) Regarding LEGO and DbM, can't you just design something really simple from the bricks in your model and see if it passes through. It's silly that you shouldn't be able to order bricks directly from DbM without having to pay for a box etc. I will probably create some annoyance at TLG, but I don't care. At the moement I'm investigatin exectuting Javascript from VBA. Once again, look into that for the next version.Ĥ) I doesn't help you right now, but I'm right now looking into a function in LDD Manager to upload a LDD model directly to PaB. I'll look into showing that for the next version of LDD Manager.Ģ) If you are in DesignByMe mode, the Lego ElementID's are listed in the LXF-file, and in LDD Manager I also extract these ID's into the data tables (but once again I never bothered to show them).ģ) BrickLink also has a list of ElementID's, and that too is actually in LDD Manager, so I could show ElementID for a lot more parts then are in DesignByMe mode. Naturally, since LDD parses the LXF-files, it has the LEGO DesignID's in the data tables. Edited Decemby Tyronġ) Yes LDD Manager only has BrickLink numbers, and the reason is simply because I didn't think anyone would ever need a list of LEGO brick ID's. That would be rediculous! Lego should have the gallery as an option for those who wish to share, but the customer should not be forced to do I said above, LDDmanager doesn't supply a list of Lego numbers, only Bricklist numbers, which are no good for ordering at PAB. Imagine your paint supplier would only sell you oil paint if you would give him the copyright to the picture you paint with them. ![]() ![]() Secondly, I don't like Lego's mentality of stealing ideas just because I am ordering some parts. Regarding sharing, I knew the question would come :-) There are two reasons I don't want to share: First of all, I'm a professional designer and the models shall indeed be sold later. So Lego is not interested in selling in any case. The concept is to give their own designers new ideas and to have additional models to sell through the gallery without putting their own design work into them. The reason is easy: Lego doesn't make money on this service, or at least not much. Ideally, I still want to order through "Designed by Me". Talking about a dozen models with more than 3000+ lego parts in total that's too much extra work, which I would like to avoid. There I can find the design number, which I can enter at. Not just a question of entering 2 codes or only 1. ![]()
