Quick question about LDD

[Bigger Fish]

So, has there been any recent updates for LDD yet? Also, how come and can't change parts colors to a wider range like I used to be able to?

This is the wrong forum for this sort of question. I believe the right "forum number" is 128 (just replace the number 18 after showforum= with 128).

There have not been any for several months, though I'm certain it won't be too long a wait... generally there is at least one major brick palette update in the first few months of the year, and I see no reason for that to change.

Your ability to change part colors is still unlimited, though, as long as you are in the correct mode. The basic LDD mode, much like Design byME mode before it, has a limited parts palette, largely limited to parts that have been officially produced in currently-available colors (though many of these parts have never been released in sets). The mode you need to use for unlimited part/color combinations is called LDD Extended Mode. Just click View>New Themes>LDD Extended on the navigation bar at the top of your LDD window. Or, when booting up LDD or creating a new file, click the black "LEGO Digital Designer Extended" button before clicking the "Free Build" button.

In the future, questions like this can go in the LDD and Other Digital Tools subforum. There are many experienced LDD users there who can either guide you firsthand or link you to relevant guides, FAQs, and tutorials.

Okay, thank you.
