Aanchir Posted July 11, 2013 I learned via one of my Facebook groups that there are new Hero Factory and Chima parts there. I don't have access to my computer right now so I don't know the status on new colors or decorations. Hopefully Superkalle can fill us in on new parts, decorations, and colors before too long, and when that happens I will do my best to identify them. Overall, just the parts I've seen are enough to get me excited. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Classicsmiley Posted July 11, 2013 This is by no means an exhaustive list. I'm not familiar enough anymore with the minifig accessory categories, and I'm certain there are many other new parts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jason C. Hand Posted July 11, 2013 Got the same update just now (133MB) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alcom1 Posted July 11, 2013 Did they include an FoV slider so I can stop building like I have a toy telescope duct-taped to my face? no...? Well, back to my hole. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Classicsmiley Posted July 11, 2013 Did they include an FoV slider so I can stop building like I have a toy telescope duct-taped to my face? no...? Well, back to my hole. Are you familiar with the features available to zoom, pan, and re-center your view? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alcom1 Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) Are you familiar with the features available to zoom, pan, and re-center your view? Yes, and such things are irrelevant to this: LDD has a fixed FOV of 30 degrees. Both images were rendered (quickly) through POV-Ray at the same camera angle, but with a different FoV, and an automatically modified camera distance so both renders fill roughly the same space. The 70 degree FoV picture has a camera much closer to the creation than the 30 degree FoV picture, creating a beautiful enhanced depth that cannot be replicated in LDD. I want to build with a more normal FoV like the second picture. I really do... I really, really, want this. Edited July 11, 2013 by Alcom1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pbk420 Posted July 12, 2013 I didn't seem to get an update on mine usually its an auto update but ive tried starting it a few times and nothing new downloads Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DOTM Shockwave Posted July 12, 2013 LDD doesn't want to sucessfully update on my computer, it receives the full 133.07 mb, then LDD closes without warning. I've tried four times already and the same thing still happens. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weavil Posted July 12, 2013 While it updates as I type, it says "Updating: XXXX/3590". So is that changes/addition of 3590 parts? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weavil Posted July 12, 2013 (edited) Just doing a quick look and it looks like: all the collectable minifigs and parts. (series 1-10) the Lego Friends accessories, pets (even series 1 and 2 pets) more minifig parts and accessories then I realized. looks like all but 2H 2013? I think new baseplates new vehicle parts some new city/town parts and accessories maybe a few new castle building parts new Technic parts a little bit of everything else Now this just what I seen at a glance. I might be wrong, I might be wright? Edited July 12, 2013 by weavil Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darking Posted July 12, 2013 LDD still won't connect to the Internet, so if someone could upload the files with the new update and post the link here it would be great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Superkalle Posted July 12, 2013 I'm conveying some info from the LDD Team: The latest update seemed to be too large for some computers. A fix is being worked at. The update contains about 180 new parts. See attached LXF-file. About 20 bugs have been fixed, see list below. Bug fixes 98102 COCKPIT cannot be lowered completely. NOTE: fix also includes changed connectivity, so brick will removed when opening existing LXF and thus need to be re-placed. 85861 ROUND PLATE WITH HOLE does not connect to Technic holes This elements is now becoming a System element, and thus this was changed 11272 CROSS BLOCK has too shallow x-axle holes 13269 ROOF FRONT cannot be placed back-to-back with another 13269 75542 and 75541 RAIL SWITCHES do not connect to other tracks 64022 FLEX RAIL does not allow full connectivity Missing sliding functionality on 99061 LATTICE Missing sliding functionality on 89519 LATTICE W KNOB and 11216 LATTICE W KNOW 64647 FEATHER has wrong geometry 10304 CHEST LID will not connect to 30163 COFFIN 87752 COCKPIT will not close fully 41750 LEFT SHELL cannot be placed next to 41749 RIGHT SHELL 93571 BALL CUP will not fully allow technic pin to attach. 10067 RING should not allow studs to attach from two sides NOTE: will allow attachment, but only from one of the sides 4019 cannot fit fully into 32007 57528 will not allow x-axle through Technic hole Minifig and some other parts cannot be placed inside 47847 WALL ELEMENT 40243 NEWEL STEP does not have cavity on underside 30158 RUCK SACK is not in its closed position 4623 PLATE W HOOK out of system Connection forbidden between PLATE 1X1 ROUND (6141)and PIVOT JOINT W.

Gnac Posted July 12, 2013 Bug fixes 64647 FEATHER has wrong geometry Aww SWEET. Now I can properly place the "flame" for 40026 - Statue of Liberty without LXFML hax! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aanchir Posted July 12, 2013 Interesting! I don't recognize part 14301 FLEX TUBE 12M. It looks like it'd be most appropriate for a constraction or sci-fi theme, but I tend to pay fairly close attention to those at Toy Fair and don't recognize this part at all. That seems to be the only "accidental" part inclusion. Very excited about some of these parts! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gnac Posted July 12, 2013 Oh my. I've just noticed in Superkalle's LXF... that little hinged sunroof from days of yore. There is hope for the old bits yet! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pbat Posted July 12, 2013 Oh my. I've just noticed in Superkalle's LXF... that little hinged sunroof from days of yore. There is hope for the old bits yet! Yeah, 2348 and 2349 are finally there . Too bad 4214 is still missing . Has anyone figured out by now which decorations are new? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Superkalle Posted July 12, 2013 I don't think there are any new decorations - I haven't heard anything at least. BTW, a simple workaround for those who can't get the update to download - just get the db.lif file from someone else and put it in the right folder. That should do the trick.
