LDD; Help me out - attaching both ends of a chain

[gryffindorcommonroom]

I'm having difficulty in attaching both ends of a regular, dark gray chain - one to the carriage, and one to the horse.

I squeezed the life out of the flex tool and obviously had no luck getting both ends to click in place.

Help us out, my wits are approaching their doom!

Cheers,

If you share the lxf file, we could try to solve the problem for you.

After all, it's all a matter of practice.

Sorry for my late reply, I've been playing with LDD, learning all its tricks and caveats.

I've managed to do it - straight chains work, when flexed - they don't.

By the way, one more question, one which I cannot find the answer to anywhere:

LDD makes building instructions as it pleases, and more often than not, erratically connects the bricks out of order.

Since I've just built a huge MOC that I'd like to get a useable building guide of, I was wondering if there was a way to make LDD put the bricks together in a more logical fashion? Maybe export an lxf file to a different program which can do it?

Cheers
