Minfig hands as a seperate part in LDD?

[Wardancer]

Hi,

I am currently woring with LDD for the first time and there is one thing that I cannot understand. I am trying to get minifig hands a an independent, standalone part. Is that possible? I cannot find a hand as a part in the database. But they are attached to every torso in there. Can I not seperate a hand from a torso? I tried copy and paste, but that only affects the whole torso, even if just the hand is selected.

Any help?

Hi

The reason they are not available as separate parts is because they are not part of the LEGO System. For example you can't call LEGO Customer Services and order them as a spare part, neither can you see them used in any official LEGO set.

However, there are some way to tweak LDD into getting the hands separated. There should be a topic about that somewhere here if you search (can't remember on the top of my head). Or if someone else can remember where that topic is?

There is some trick to separate parts, but LDD consider a torso (and other composed bricks) as a single part.

About hands, it is not possible because this part is not fully molded in LDD.

Take a look at this topic.

Thank you for the help.

It will a while until I get into the matter deep enough to use such tricks described in the thread.
