Opening LDR files

[Block_Smarts Lego Technic]

I found a really cool model i'd like to build, but when I clicked download, It sent me here- http://www.brickvista.com/downloads/models/roverWheels/ArchimedesFlow.ldr

Does anyone know how to open it?

Thanks!

It's a LDraw file, so try a viewer like LDView or an editor like LDCad. You're also going to need the LDRaw library files from ldraw.org .

Save the file to your harddisk, open with LDView. Works fine for me.

Possibly, it might make my channel blast off

This is what it looks like when I click download

Click right on the link and select "Save target as" from the context menu, right now you're only opening the file in your browser.

Fixed it! I saved it as a .txt and opened it in ldraw! Thanks for your help!

It should not be a .txt. It should be a .ldr file.

It might help if the OP is 'redirected' to the LDD and digital tools subforums. He'll have many answers there (to questions he may not have even thought of).

Agreed. Done.

Does anyone know about an Android app for viewing .ldr files?
