Ellisss_ Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 This is my first MOC on LDD and I have been playing with it for some time. I am working on my favorite star wars ship the Venator Class Star Destroyer. I have got this far https://gyazo.com/3816f31eafeb53164b94c2d90951a8c2. The problem I am having is attaching the hull using magnets like the technique used on the set 10030. Please can you help I really want to get the MOC finished but can not progress without the hull being attached . Thank You! Ellis. Quote
SylvainLS Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Magnets don’t work in LDD. You will have to use helper bricks: build a scaffold of bricks to place your hull in the right place and then delete them. (You can use a color that’s not used anywhere else (like pink) so you can select them easily.) Also, if you are inspired by existing techniques but you don’t know how to do them in LDD, look at the “Official LEGO Sets made in LDD” topic (http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=41226): if it’s feasible, it’ll have been done by more experienced people.

Ellisss_ Posted January 27, 2016 Author Posted January 27, 2016 Thank you I may just use a different way of attaching the hull :). Quote
___ Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Magnets don’t work in LDD. Ehm, then how is it that in my LDD magnets work just fine? Quote
SylvainLS Posted January 27, 2016 Posted January 27, 2016 Ehm, then how is it that in my LDD magnets work just fine? Darn! That’s right, the magnets that are present in LDD (not all), do work. I was misled by the comments for 10030-1: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=41226&st=3800#entry1866768 Quote
Ellisss_ Posted January 28, 2016 Author Posted January 28, 2016 Whenever I open the model the magnets aren't there are you sure they work and if not can you recommend some other techniques to attach the bottom hull Quote
___ Posted January 28, 2016 Posted January 28, 2016 Whenever I open the model the magnets aren't there are you sure they work and if not can you recommend some other techniques to attach the bottom hull What exact version of LDD do you have? I guess magnets were added in latest update (tho it wa slike 1 year ago)...that is LDD v4.3.8 build 1564.2 Quote
Ellisss_ Posted January 29, 2016 Author Posted January 29, 2016 I have magents I just don't know how to use them :/ Quote
___ Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 I have magents I just don't know how to use them :/ OK, for example you have two 73092 magnets in the set: just move them close enough to each other and they will automatically snap together as if you would putting two plates or normal bricks together...
