elmerohueso Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 Maybe I'm not finding them all, but I've only found 4 flexible pieces in LDD 4 (flexible pieces have a small flex logo): Spiral Tube W. Tube Stud String W. Coupl. Points 20M Chain 16M Flex Hose 19M W/3. 18 Stick Not even any of the Flex Rods are flexible. That's pretty disappointing. Are there any more flexible pieces and has anyone figured out how to bend the flex rods or the axles? Quote
DLuders Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 (edited) I'm not surprised that there are so few flexible pieces. They're tough to model in 3 dimensions. Edited October 28, 2010 by DLuders Quote
CMP Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 (edited) I think it's fine. It's also kind of fun. I spent like 5 minutes and finally managed to get a flex hose into a knot. Edited October 28, 2010 by CallMePie Quote
prateek Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 I don't mind, as it is hard to model them. This tool is the most fun I've had in a long time! I think it's fine. It's also kind of fun. I spent like 5 minutes and finally managed to get a flex hose into a knot. Quote
Brickdoctor Posted October 28, 2010 Posted October 28, 2010 (edited) I think it's fine. It's also kind of fun. I spent like 5 minutes and finally managed to get a flex hose into a knot. I wasn't even aware you could bend them. EDIT: Nevermind, saw the LDD 4 topic. Edited October 28, 2010 by Brickdoctor Quote
elmerohueso Posted October 28, 2010 Author Posted October 28, 2010 (edited) ...This tool is the most fun I've had in a long time! Forgive the suggestion, but maybe you need to out more? I personally will love the day that I can build one of the Ferrari 1:10 sets in LDD. Edited October 28, 2010 by elmerohueso Quote

Are there any more flexible pieces and has anyone figured out how to bend the flex rods or the axles? Only the pieces that are in DesignByMe mode are flexible at the moment. Rest asure the rest will become flexible in time. Quote
Toa_Of_Justice Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 I found out something awesome: If multiple flexible pieces are connected to each other, they can all flex at once. Try it for yourself in this LDD file! -Toa Of Justice Quote
Zerobricks Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 Is there any way to change brick atribute to make it flex enabled? Quote
Superkalle Posted October 29, 2010 Posted October 29, 2010 Is there any way to change brick atribute to make it flex enabled? Not that I understand. Flex elements are made up of smaller parts called bones, which is the smallest "particle" in the LDD XML structure. To make an element flexible, you need to model it with all the individual bones. This means that flex elements are basically completely new parts in LDD. Quote
