LeoCAD - CAD program for LEGO models.
SYNOPSIS
leocad [ OPTIONS ] [ INFILE ]
DESCRIPTION
LeoCAD is a CAD program for creating virtual LEGO models. It has an easy to use interface and includes thousands of different parts in its library.
OPTIONS
Below is a summary of all of the options that LeoCAD accepts. Many options have two equivalent names, one of which is a single letter preceded by -, and the other of which is a long name preceded by --. Brackets ([ and ]) indicate that an option takes an optional parameter.
|
infile |
Loads the project file infile |
-l path , --libpath path
Set the parts library location.
-i [ outfile.ext ], --image [ outfile.ext ]
Saves a picture to outfile.ext in the image format specified by ext and exits. If outfile is not given then the program will use a name based on infile . The file format is selected by ext and can be gif, bmp, png or jpg (if ext is not present then the default preferences format will be used).
-w width , --width width
Sets the width of the picture to width .
-h height , --height height
Sets the height of the picture to height .
-f time , --from time
Start saving pictures at the step time . Steps start at 1.
-t time , --to time
Save pictures until the step time .
-s submodel , --submodel submodel
Sets the active submodel to submodel .
-c camera , --camera camera
Sets the active camera to camera .
-ss id , --stud-style id
Set the stud style. Valid values 0=Plain, 1=Thin Lines Logo, 2=Outline Logo, 3=Sharp Top Logo, 4=Rounded Top Logo, 5=Flattened Logo, 6=High Contrast, 7=High Contrast with Logo.
--viewpoint front | back | left | right | top | bottom | home
Sets the viewpoint to one of the predefined view angles.
--camera-angles latitude longitude
Set the camera angles in degrees around the model.
--camera-position x y z tx ty tz ux uy uz
Set the camera position, target and up vector using the LeoCAD coordinate system.
--camera-position-ldraw x y z tx ty tz ux uy uz
Set the camera position, target and up vector using the LDraw coordinate system.
--orthographic
Use an orthographic projection.
--fov degrees
Set the vertical field of view used to render images.
--zplanes near far
Set the near and far clipping planes used to render images (1 <= near < far ).
--fade-steps
Render parts from prior steps faded.
--no-fade-steps
Do not render parts from prior steps faded.
--fade-steps-color color
Color to use for rendering faded parts. (#AARRGGBB where AA, RR, GG, and BB are hexadecimal values for alpha, red, green, and blue respectively.)
--highlight
Highlight parts in the steps they appear.
--no-highlight
Do not highlight parts in the steps they appear.
--highlight-color color
Color to use to highlight parts, (#AARRGGBB where AA, RR, GG, and BB are hexadecimal values for alpha, red, green, and blue respectively.)
--shading wireframe | flat | default | full
Select shading mode for rendering.
--line-width width
Set the width of the edge lines.
--aa-samples count
AntiAliasing sample size (1, 2, 4, or 8).
-scc #AARRGGBB , --stud-cylinder-color #AARRGGBB
High contrast stud cylinder color.
-ec #AARRGGBB , --edge-color #AARRGGBB
High contrast edge color.
-bec #AARRGGBB , --black-edge-color #AARRGGBB
High contrast edge color for black parts.
-dec #AARRGGBB , --dark-edge-color #AARRGGBB
High contrast edge color for dark color parts.
-aec, --automate-edge-color
Enable automatically adjusted edge colors.
-cc float , --color-contrast float
Set the near and far clipping planes used to render images (1 <= near < far ).
-ldv float , --light-dark-value float
Set the value to indicate a light or dark color.
-obj [ outfile.obj ]
Exports the model to wavefront format.
-3ds [ outfile.3ds ]
Exports the model to 3DS format.
-dae [ outfile.dae ]
Exports the model to COLLADA DAE format.
-html [ path ]
Creates an HTML page for the model.
-v , --version
Output version information and exit.
-? , --help
Display a brief usage synopsis and exit.
ENVIRONMENT
‘‘LEOCAD_LIB’’ may be set to the path of the parts library.
EXAMPLES
$ leocad car.lcd -i car.png -w 640 -h 480
This will start LeoCAD, load the file "car.lcd," create a png called "car.png" with a resolution of 640x480 and exit when done.
