Brickstarrunner Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 It's been a while since I posted on Eurobricks, mostly because I sort of fell out of the Lego hobby for a while. Recently I began to pick up interest again and I dusted off an old Lego Digital Designer project I was doing before I took my break from it. It's a late 19th century railroad passenger car that is roughly around 800 to 900 bricks in total. I had the plan of buying up the necessary bricks I needed online via Bricklink, eBay, Pick-a-Brick, etc. to build my model. I don't have much experience with building models in real life other than the ones inside the pre-made instruction booklets, so I am unsure if my model would be able to hold itself together on its own or if part of the model/the entire thing would fall apart at the slightest touch. I tried to use techniques I already know, such as overlapping bricks to increase durability and such, but even then I'm not sure how much that will help. Is there a way I can stress test a digital model to see if the structure is sturdy or not. To try and see what parts are rock solid and what parts may break off is given even a slight nudge. I don't have all the bricks necessary at home to create a test version and I'm rather stricken on money at the moment, so I'd rather not spend more than what I just need for the model itself. Any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thanks. Quote
Zerobricks Posted May 19, 2014 Posted May 19, 2014 What program are you using? But the answer is proboably not, as that would take a physics engine and the usual Lego digital programs dont have that. Quote
