Custom brick color in LDD

[nxtstep101]

Hello everyone, it is me again. I was wondering if it is possible to make different bricks colors other than the ones that LDD has available? Or is there a third-party program that would allow me to do this? Also, is it at all possible to change the color of a bunch of LEGO bricks at once? I find it very time consuming to go to every single brick and manually change the color.

First, none that I know of. Second, if it a certain color you want another color, you go to the color selection tool, and then click paint. select your color, and your good to go. You can also see Aanchir's file on the reference topic. It has all the colors available in LDD.

Yes, I know how to change the color of the brick, but what I mean't to say was that on certain bricks there is less color options than on others. For instance there is a shade of green that is available for 2x2 bricks but not for 2x3 bricks. It would be really helpful if I could change it to that same shade of green as the 2x2. Sorry if the question wasn't very clear.

Use the extended mode, you'll be able to use every brick in every color.

If you want to color several brick at once, select them, create a group from your selection, select the bucket tool, and click on the group (in the group tab) to change the color of all your bricks. I hope it's clear.

That perfectly answered both of my questions. Thank you!

I have another quick question about LDD: is there any way for me to "center" a lego model perfectly? For instance if I am taking an angled shot and have to move the model around quite a bit. Thanks.

I'm not sure what you mean by "center perfectly", but hitting the 5 on the number pad should fit all of the model into the frame.

That is actually what I was looking for, thanks!

It is the same function provided by the round arrow button in the center lower part of the scene. ;)
