Need help placing pieces

[Solscud007]

So I have always wanted to build Pellaeon's MOC: Tumbler.

As seen here.

I followed his guide as best as I could on LDD.

Here is his FlickR instructions/guide

Im having problems with placing certain parts.

Like on Page/image 35, there are pieces that need to be rotated at an awkward angle.

However I seem to only be able to move one piece and not the entire sub assembly.

Same problem with the "wings" and cockpit hatch. Can some one help? When I try to place the wings, it does not allow the piece to settle.

How do I attach my LDD file? I get an error message.

You need to zip your lxf file, than you can attach it. I dont know his model so good, are all his building techniques legal?

That happens a lot in LDD wherein you can't rotate a whole assembly together. The trick is you rotate the 'base part' first to the proper angle/position. Then you could add the rest of the parts in the assembly.

How do I attach my LDD file? I get an error message.

Alternatively you could upload it in a file-hosting site like brickshelf and you could add the link to a text.

And I highly recommend you share the LXF, not only will other LDD builders will be able to help you fix your building issues, but I could also index it when you're finished with it.
