Help getting pieces to fit together

[Solscud007]

Hey guys, I was building the SW Dropship and AT-OT on LDD (too poor to buy the real thing at the moment but I want the joy of building it) so I used LDD. I cant seem to get the hemispheres to lock into the large cap that makes up the AT-OT's rear guns.

They are the same type of pieces for the Republic Gunship front guns.

Any tips on getting LDD to cooperate?

I find that locking some pieces requires an extremely fine precision placement otherwise they dont want to cooperate.

I, too, have that problem. It's annoying, but I find the problem is magnified in LDraw, where I cannot, no matter how hard I try, ever get the hands and arms to fit properly onto the minifigures. They just do not want to go at the right angle.

I tried hard to make the hemisphere and cup combo cooperate, but I couldn't get it to work. Sorry. Perhaps it's a bug in LDD.

starwarsfanatic, I'd recommend that you use MLCAD's Minifig Generator--it's much easier than trying to build minifigures by hand. Also, make sure that you have the latest MLCAD.ini file and LDraw parts updates to unlock the full potential of the Minifig Generator.
