After 30 years back to Lego again. ;-)

[Bering]

Hello all,

I just registered here and love all the information. 2 years ago i picked up my old Lego hobby again, the Lego had been stored for 30 years... ;-) I bought the 9398 crawler and 8043 excavator. Then i saw some projects on Youtube and downloaded instructions to make some other models. Now i even bought the new Lego camper and the 6754 house in mint condition. I will read lots of topics here to get some ideas.

My first question, i downloaded some LDD files and imported them in the LDD software. All works perfect. However, how do i get a parts list? I know i could click a part and see the part number, but how do i get the total list?

Thanks in advance and see you later here!

Regards,

Barry.

Hello Barry and welcome to Eurobricks. It's a really great place, I'm sure you'll like it very much.

The 9398 & 8043 are two great sets with the 8043 being, in my opinion, a classic, and ideal to bring you out from your dark age. As for generating an LDD parts list, I'm afraid any explanation I give will just confuse you further so I'll leave that to those more eloquent than I.

Hope to see your work here soon.

Thanks for your reply Grum. I am looking forward to all the information and knowledge here. Concerning your explanation about generating a parts list, i would appreciate it if you would try. I am technically and fast learning.

For now, i only have downloaded 2 software programs: LDD Manager 1.25 and Wantedbricks 1.1. Wanted bricks does the job partially... some parts are just not recognized.
