Takanuinuva Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 I've been working on a large castle in LDD but I keep hitting a cross road. I want to be able to open the castle so that you could access all the rooms inside. Should I go with a modular design like the Cafe Corner and other sets like it. Or a more sturdy model that hinges open like the Haunted Mansion from the Monster Hunters line? Here is an LXF file of the castle. Just a warning it's very big. (The floors are different colors so its easier to select and hide them when building on other floors to reduce lag) http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/takanuinuva/mc/baronvonbrickensteins_skeleton_castle.lxf Quote
LegoFjotten Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 It will probably depend on how you want to use it, for display only or for play. I think hinges would work better if you want playability, or you can even consider the "open back" route like Tower of Orthanc. I would recommend using the groups feature in LDD though, it will make it much easier for you to work with the model. Quote

I'm just building the LDD version. If I ever did make an IRL version I would want it for display. I'm just wondering what would be the easier way to access the rooms I plan on adding. Modular or Hinged. Quote
LegoFjotten Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 If you are just working in LDD, modular floors is probably easier. Just create a group for each floor and it will very easy to select the various floors. Just keep in mind that when you make changes to a floor you update the group. Quote
Space Police XVIII Posted December 21, 2015 Posted December 21, 2015 http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=117496 I really like this idea, will be building something like it eventually. Maybe in the Nexo Knights theme. Quote
