Block_Smarts Lego Technic Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 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! Quote
nickless Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 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 . Quote
Block_Smarts Lego Technic Posted July 12, 2015 Author Posted July 12, 2015 I do have them, but its just a bunch of code. Quote
M_longer Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) Oh what a lovely shaped tubes :) Are you going to use it somewhere? Edited July 12, 2015 by M_longer Quote
nickless Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) I do have them, but its just a bunch of code. Save the file to your harddisk, open with LDView. Works fine for me. Edited July 12, 2015 by nickless Quote

Possibly, it might make my channel blast off Save the file to your harddisk, open with LDView. Works fine for me. This is what it looks like when I click download Quote
nickless Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 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. Quote
Block_Smarts Lego Technic Posted July 12, 2015 Author Posted July 12, 2015 (edited) Fixed it! I saved it as a .txt and opened it in ldraw! Thanks for your help! Edited July 12, 2015 by Block_Smarts Lego Technic Quote
Blakbird Posted July 12, 2015 Posted July 12, 2015 It should not be a .txt. It should be a .ldr file. Quote
DrJB Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) 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). http://www.eurobrick...p?showforum=128 Edited July 14, 2015 by DrJB Quote

Frequenzberater Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 Does anyone know about an Android app for viewing .ldr files? Quote
