Stud logo preference

[trevorsandy]

Enable the ability to select stud logo preference using the following stud logo geometry:

0 Plain
1 Single Wire
2 Double Wire
3 Raised Flat
4 Raised Rounded
5 Subtle Rounded

Only the Windows GUI is implemented; however from other platforms (i.e. macOS/Linux), you can set the the following options using [Sessions] in your .ini file.

[Sessions]
LDView Preset - Quality with Edges/UseStudLogo=1
LDView Preset - Quality with Edges/StudLogo=2

This feature is a subset of the comprehensive behaviour which also includes high-contrast studs and edge lines.

With the addition of high-contrast studs and automatic edge line colors, the stud style ini file options have changed to:

[Sessions]
LDView Preset - Quality with Edges/AutomateEdgeColor=1
LDView Preset - Quality with Edges/UseStudStyle=1
LDView Preset - Quality with Edges/StudStyle=2

And stud geometry options are extended to:

0 Plain
1 Single Wire
2 Double Wire
3 Raised Flat
4 Raised Rounded
5 Subtle Rounded
6 High Contrast Plain
7 High Contrast Single Wire

Cheers,

Did you use LDView's OBI code for the high-contrast work? (I'm guessing not, since it requires modified parts.) The OBI code was added years ago, but never became mainstream due to the requirement of having updated parts.

Did you use LDView's OBI code for the high-contrast work?

I did not. The high-contrast behaviour simply extends the primitives in TCStudLogoPrimitive StudLogoPrimitives and adds the ability to manipulate the stud cylinder and edge line colour both manually and automatically. The resulting behaviour adds an 'automate edge line color' checkbox to the Geometry tab and two new options to the Primitives tab's 'use stud logo geometry' combo control:

HighContrast =6 High Contrast Plain
HighContrastSingleWire =7 High Contrast Single Wire

I've added the full feature set which includes preference options to manually configure high-contrast studs and edge lines along with the preference to automatically adjust edge line color. The automate edge line color preference is set under the Geometry tab while use stud geometry is under Primitives.
