Bricks-on-Rails Posted November 15, 2019 Posted November 15, 2019 Dear all, I´ve got a major problem with my LDD and i don´t know what happened. Today i launched the software as usual. Right after startup, when the start-screen with the latest six models appears. Some of the previews aren´t shown correctly. There are only red bricks with red exclamation marks. When i try to open one of these files LDD tells me that a bunch of parts, in some case over 200 have been removed. And that´s how the models look like, a bit like a piece of cheese, with many holes and open surfaces. The next error i´ve got is the part-libary on the left, the four last categories do not have a specific picture, they´re all the same and marked with a red question-mark. It also seems to my that the parts in the other categories are mixed and not sorted like they should be. Downloading again and reinstallation did not bring any success. I also tried to get it running with an older backup version on my external hard-drive but that wasn´t working too. What makes me wonder is that the Assets.lif file is different in size. Could the problem be here? Could the part-libary be damaged? Is there any possibility to fix that? With kind regards Martin Quote
SylvainLS Posted November 15, 2019 Posted November 15, 2019 Are you trying version 4.3.12? If so, go back to 4.3.11, 4.3.12 is not an upgrade, it’s a shame. (See the other topics about 4.3.12 and 4.3.11 on Win10 for explanations and links.) Quote
jamesster Posted November 15, 2019 Posted November 15, 2019 (edited) Assets.lif isn't actually what LDD loads the brick database from, oddly. It contains a file called db.lif, which is then copied to AppData, and that file in Appdata is the file that's maintained and updated - and reinstalling the program doesn't delete it, IIRC. Assuming you're on windows, you'll find it under C:\Users\YOURUSERNAME\AppData\Roaming\LEGO Company\LEGO Digital Designer. That's what you'll want to delete or replace, possibly along with other files around that location. Edited November 15, 2019 by jamesster Quote
