[KEY TOPIC] Official LEGO Sets made in LDD

Recommended Posts

I was able to position the black beam 32140 by rotating the 42003 CROSS BLOCK so it is perpendicular. Just select it with hinge tool and type in 180 degrees. The other two position errors I leave to someone else :classic:

Finally I could place it too but in a different way. I removed the pins and connected vertically the beam 32140 to the axle; then I rotated the beam round the axle to the maximum angle allowed by the position of the panel 64393. There was no need to write manually the angle increasing by multiples of 0.1 degrees which generally helps difficult alignments. Then the pins could be placed correctly.

The file has been updated, but I will try a little bit more to solve the other position errors. Thank you very much for your help!

7984 - Deep Sea Raider - Theme: Atlantis

7984.png

Known missing pieces:

  • Horn (Unicorn); does not exist in LDD.
  • Extra pieces are not included.

Other known issues:

  • Minifigues are not correct (Atlantis Hammerhead Warrior is missing alltogether).
  • On the left submarine arm, I was not able to align the large drill piece properly with the Technic 24 tooth gear and wheel. There's a significant gap between the pieces. Aanchir poited out that this is a bug in LDD as the drill piece has 25 grooves instead of 24, so it cannot be aligned with a 24 tooth gear. Reported here.
  • Stickers are missing.

This is my first official LEGO set creation in LDD, so please be gentle with me :classic:

8068 - Rescue Helicopter version 2 - TECHNIC

LXF

Errors:

Rings 32187 are not connectable to pins. They were scaffholded in correct position anyway.

Hoses 76270 were used in place of Bricklink-mentioned hoses 75c17. They are 136mm long. They are perfect for version 1 but a bit too long for version 2, according to the pictures. Maybe they were meant to be trimmed in real life?

I was not able to place the following parts in the model, as there wasn't enough room left from the assembly:

- the black beam 32140 near to the wheel that activates the propellor has been replaced with a custom assembly of beams 43857 and 32523.

- the black connector 32038 under the propellor has been replaced with a custom assembly of two bushes 6590.

- the wheel 6589 in the rudder could not be placed and was left aside.

In my opinion these parts might be placed by connecting parts in a different order and using all the gap between parts. I solved a pair of similar cases in this model but could not find a solution for the ones above. Someone may try!

  • The wheel cover piece 58088 should be colored 315 Silver Metallic rather than 131 Silver.
  • Your model has a Black 1x8 tile (4162) on the dashboard where it should have a Black 1x6 tile (6636).
  • Your model has a Medium Stone Grey spool (61510) in the center of the model where it should have a Medium Stone Grey wheel (42610).
  • All 1x4 axles (3705) should be colored 26 Black rather than 194 Medium Stone Grey.

That's all the errors I could find. Great work!

4955 - Big Rig - Theme: Creator - LXF File

Errors:

2x Black Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with Clip Vertical - Undetermined Type replaced by Black Plate 1 x 1 because it wouldn't fit. 2x Black Plate, Modified 1 x 1 with Clip Vertical - Undetermined Type placed next to the model.

USED downloaded XML file from the bricklink inventory and converted that to a LXF file to get the right parts and colors.

This really demonstrates how effective LDD manager's conversions from Bricklink inventories to LXF files are. All parts and colors are correct as far as I can tell. There will sometimes still be errors in a set's Bricklink inventory that can lead to inaccuracies in the LXF's parts inventory, but thankfully this set seems to be free of those.

7984 - Deep Sea Raider - Theme: Atlantis

Known missing pieces:

  • Horn (Unicorn); does not exist in LDD.
  • Extra pieces are not included.

Known colour issues:

  • I left the armor breastplate in red colour, as LDD does not seem to support the "speckled gold-black" colour/decoration.

Other known issues:

  • Minifigues are not correct (Atlantis Hammerhead Warrior is missing alltogether).
  • On the left submarine arm, I was not able to align the large drill piece properly with the Technic 24 tooth gear and wheel. There's a significant gap between the pieces.

This is my first official LEGO set creation in LDD, so please be gentle with me :classic:

  • The Dark Stone Grey 1x2 plates with vertical shaft should use part 88072 rather than 4623-- the Bricklink inventory says otherwise, but the element ID given in the instructions (4611703) corresponds to part 88072, which Bricklink confirms. As a rule of thumb you can count on any 2011 sets using 88072 and any older sets using 4623.
  • The Transparent Bright Orange cone should use part 59900 (BL's 4589b) rather than 4589 (BL's 4589a).
  • The Bright Yellow 2M Technic connector should use part 59443 (BL's 6548c) rather than 6538 (BL's 6538b).
  • The 3M axle with stud should be colored 138 Sand Yellow (BL's Dark Tan) rather than 312 Medium Nougat (BL's Medium Dark Flesh).
  • The grey 1M Technic bushings (6590), 1x2x2 slopes (60481), 2x3 plate (3021), 5M Technic axle (32073), and flick-fire missiles (61184) should all be colored 194 Medium Stone Grey (BL's Light Bluish Gray) rather than 208 Light Stone Grey (BL's Very Light Bluish Gray).
  • The tan 2x2 round brick with grille (92947), 4x6 plate (3032), and 2M Technic pins (6562) should be colored 5 Brick Yellow (BL's Tan) rather than 283 Light Nougat (BL's Light Flesh). The tan 1x2 plate (3023) should be colored 5 Brick Yellow rather than 297 Warm Gold-- this was probably just a careless mistake.
  • The Atlantis body armor (89917) should be colored 26 Black. The speckled color that it's supposed to be does not actually have an ID number of its own; it's really just black with a gold surface treatment. If you prefer the model to resemble the set as much as currently possible, the outer surface of the body armor can be colored separately from the inside surface, so you can color the inside 26 Black and the outside the closest available match-- 147 Sand Yellow Metallic.
  • The diver minifigure's waist is correctly colored, but his legs should be colored 199 Dark Stone Grey rather than 194 Medium Stone Grey.

Most of these errors are perfectly normal mistakes for a beginner. To keep from confusing colors in the future, I recommend either the Peeron color list, which cross-references Bricklink and official LEGO color names, or better yet LDD Manager, a downloadable multipurpose tool created by Superkalle that includes a similar chart, plus allows you to auto-generate an LXF file with the pieces you need using a Bricklink inventory.

Great catch on the drill, too! It turns out the drill is rendered to fit 25 rather than 24 teeth, so there is no gear that can fit appropriately into it! I encourage you to report this error in the LDD 4 Bugs and Brick Errors topic.

I take it this one was also auto-generated with LDD manager, because like the "A" model it is error-free besides the placement error, which is quite inexplicable and should be brought up in the "Bugs and Brick Errors" topic. Normally such a placement error occurs because only certain types of System and Technic bricks are allowed Technic-system connectivity. However, in this case that does not explain the lack of connectivity. The wheel is more than a full module in thickness, and the 1x1 round brick is one of the few parts that is almost always allowed Technic-System connectivity. Regardless of this, well done on this model!

Great job on your first building there :thumbup:

And intersting issue with the tooth gear. That's a major mistake in LDD (because do I understand correctly that the physcial drill piece has 24 teeth, not 25?)

EDIT- just checked myself with the physcial pieces, it does indeed have 24 teeth.

Late notice, but isn't these two parts actually in LDD: 62821 and 61903 respectively?

Nope. 62821 and 62520 are considerably different parts. They are, however, both newer versions of the parts the original poster was requesting.

I guess it should fit if you rotate the 32034 so it's 90 degrees against the steering axle, and then move it and the rest of the assembly up. Or is there any reason this is not possible?

As you see, there is a space between the 32024 and 32039. If you want to lift the 32034 a little, all the connected parts should have to adjust a right angle. It's too difficult to complete.

Ah, OK, I see. I think I need to buy the model to get a better feeling for how the geometry is supposed to work.

Good job anyway with the model :thumbup:

7066 - Earth Defense HQ - Theme: Space, Alien Conquest - LXF File

*snip*

You've got the most comprehensive errors lists I think I've ever seen! That should make correcting the model a lot easier for you if the errors become possible to correct in a future update! There are a few errors you missed, but they're generally minor.

  • The ADU Scientist is missing one Sand Yellow hair piece (88283).
  • Your model is missing one Bright Blue 2x2 tile (3068) from the undercarriage of the HQ (page 8 of book 2)
  • Your model is missing two Bright Blue 1x4 plates (3710) from the undercarriage of the HQ (pages 4 and 6 of book 2)
  • Your model is missing one Dark Stone Grey ADU pistol (Bricklink's bb516, which you have replaced with 60849 in its two other instances). The instructions place it in the hand of the ADU scientist.
  • The two 1x1 cones (59900) on the front of the HQ (beneath the windscreen) should be colored 41 Transparent Red rather than 47 Transparent Fluorescent Reddish Orange.
  • The 1x1 round brick (3062) in the cockpit of the plane should be colored 26 Black rather than 199 Dark Stone Grey.
  • The ADU Scientist's legs should be colored 1 White rather than 199 Dark Stone Grey and 321 Dark Azur.
  • The tires on the small vehicle should use part 87414 rather than 3641.
  • The two 1x3x2 arch pieces should use part 92903 rather than 6005.
  • The 1x1 plates with clips should use part 60897 rather than 4085.
  • The two 4x3 wedge plates should use part 90194 rather than 48183.
  • The four 1x4x3 panels should use part 87543 rather than 60581. I don't actually know any difference in shape between these parts. However, according to the names they have on LDD, 60581 is ABS and should not be used for transparent parts made from polycarbonate.
  • The 1x4 hinge plate should use part 95120 rather than 44822.

7050 - Alien Defender - Theme: Space, Alien Conquest - LXF File

*snip*

The tires should use part 87697 rather than 6015. No other errors on this one.

7051 - Tripod Invader - Theme: Space, Alien Conquest - LXF File

*snip*

The 1x4 hinge plate should use part 95120 rather than 44822. No other errors with this model.

7049 - Alien Striker - Theme: Space, Alien Conquest - LXF File

*snip*

No errors you missed, and I wouldn't expect them when you managed so many larger models with so few errors.

8282-1: Quad Bike - Theme: Technic - LXF File

errors:

4x6582not presend in LDD and replaced with other wheelsï¼›

4x6581not presend in LDD and replaced with other tiresï¼›

20x3711,link chain can't be installed on gears;

1x3713,bush can't be installed on driving axle.

  • You should note in your post that the four 2M corrugated pipes (72504) and the 2M friction pin holding two of them together (2780) are replacement parts for two 3M corrugated pipes and a 4M corrugated pipe.
  • In the front of the vehicle, your model uses two Medium Stone Grey 3M pins (32556) where it should use two Black friction pins (6558).
  • The outer shell of the shock absorber (76537) should be colored 194 Medium Stone Grey rather than 208 Light Stone Grey.
  • The #3 angle connectors (32016) should be colored 194 Medium Stone Grey rather than 199 Dark Stone Grey.
  • The 1x2 plate with grille (2412) should be colored 298 Cool Silver Drum Lacquered rather than 1 White.

Most of these errors seem to be the fault of the poor-quality instruction scans on LEGO.com. Many of the colors are extremely ambiguous, and I ended up verifying most of them by jointly using the online instruction booklet, the Bricklink inventory, and actual photos of the set (in places where I wasn't sure I should trust Bricklink). Great work on this set in spite of the missing pieces and confusing instructions!

7052 - UFO Abduction - Theme: Space, Alien Conquest - LXF File

*snip*

  • The 1x1 cone should use part 59900 rather than 4589; Bricklink's inventory is incorrect about this.
  • The 1x4 hinge plate should use part 95120 rather than 44822.

No other errors I could find. Great work on all of these Alien Conquest sets!

Love the Batman sets and seen that this was missing, so decided to make it! It is missing the minifgis, the stickers, the minifig accessories, the 2 hoses on the side, and 1 flame.

Hi, good first work!

Some things:

- Image is irregular, it should provide a preview of the set in order to help other users to recognize it. The maximum image size is 512x512 pixel.

I invite you to read the thread's guidelines in the first post of this topic.

- You should share the lxf file. Only regular post with shared lxf file will be indexed.

In order to share images and lxf file I suggest you to create a brickshelf account as the great part of other users did: it allows to share freely both images and LDD files using hotlinks. Forum's attachment function is not adequate because of its limits.

- If you respect all the topic's rules, your set will be indexed, but it will be marked as incomplete, because minifigs and other parts are missing. You should replace parts that are not in LDD with some custom solution (that's valid for minifigs too).

Thanks for the feedback, Aanchir. Next time I will certainly create the starter LXF file from LDD Manager :classic:

I've updated my LXF file, and will upload it to Brickshelf once it's online again, and post an update here.

Cheers!
