Forgot add a specific piece in LDD - how do I go back and add it?

[brickrevolution]

Hi guys,

I'm new here and am registering so I can ask this question :) I created a model in LDD but forgot a certain piece that is REQUIRED. It goes at about the half way point of the design. How do I go back in and add that specific piece? It doesn't seem to let me add anything in the middle of the model. What can I do without having to rebuild the entire thing? Or is this the only option? :(

Any information is much appreciated.

There are various options, for example you can use the hide tool, or you can select part of your model, move the selection, add the part and then compose again the model.

How do I select the entire model and move it? I understand the hide tool, by clicking on an item and seeing that it's hidden, but then when I add the new piece, the entire model still needs to be moved upward to allow for the additional part.

Also, do you know of an instructions printout that isn't one-step per page? I can easily fit 3 of the images on one page but instead of shows as one step per page.

Thanks for your help.

There are various way to select multiple parts.

In you case, probably the classic selection rectangle is the best way. Otherwise you could "disconnect" two sections of your building removing few bricks, and then using the "connected selection tool" (the one with the selection arrow and an * ) to select all connected parts together.

In general, I suggest you to use the "group" function of LDD, creating hierarchical groups while you are creating your assembly. Groups allow you to select one or more of them, easily splitting your building.

I'm not sure about what you mean with your question about building instructions.

Anyway, did you check the topics about instructions listed in the Section Index?
