Masta' Blasta' Posted March 8, 2013 I've noticed that 600 or so decorations have been added, but I can't seem to find them. Great update by the way. They exist within the program, but haven't been implemented into the decoration tool or palette yet. Aanchir is extracting them and placing them onto pieces as we speak, I assume.

JunkstyleGio Posted March 9, 2013 All thos new parts, but no new technic parts.... So no steering for the 42000 and no X000X liftarms and no 42007 wheels.. To bad! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canticleer blues Posted March 9, 2013 Excellent! I'm so glad parts 6076, 4741, and 4737 are finally in LDD! Especially that last one; I've been waiting for its return ever since it was taken out. Time to update some Classic Space and Town sets! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Superkalle Posted March 9, 2013 How are you two seeing these..? -Sci If you unzip an LXF and view the LXFML inside, you can see the 5 digit DecorationID numbers in there. So that's how you can "test" various decorations if they fit and how they will work (trial and error) - simply enter a decorationID, save the LXFML and open in LDD and see how it looks. As for the list of all DecorationID's themselves, I got a list from the LDD Team and passed it on to Aanchir as I know he knows how to deciffer them . (there might be some internal list at TLG that maps the decorationID's to the correct partnumber/minifig, but if so, it's not something that I get...). All thos new parts, but no new technic parts.... So no steering for the 42000 and no X000X liftarms and no 42007 wheels.. To bad! Except for the small actuator 92693. But otherwise I agree that there weren't many Technic parts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
drdavewatford Posted March 9, 2013 So.... I have "outlines on bricks" back. The option only became un-grayed when I also selected "High-quality rendering of bricks in Brick Palette" (which I've always had off, since it seemed unnecessary). Seems like a really odd coupling. Oh, thank the maker ! The loss of brick outlines on my Mac since the last OS update has been driving me crazy, but now I have them back - wonderful. Thanks to LEGO for the bug fix, thanks to Superkalle for posting about the LDD update, and thanks to vynsane for highlighting the fix. Cheers, Dr. D. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vynsane Posted March 9, 2013 "Take a screenshot" from the "Tool Box" menu now allows you to both choose a folder and filename for the resultant pic . It used to simply dump the screenshot into your operating system's default 'Pictures' folder, with the name "ScreenshotX.png" (with the X being a numeral). Much nicer this way!

obsidianheart Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) What is part 11538? *EDIT* Nevermind, it's that new A-wing Pilot helmet, isn't it? Edited March 9, 2013 by obsidianheart Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sjuip Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) Apart from the load of new bricks, also some long-awaited older ones : - Winch 73037 (now we won't be needing your nicely custom-build one anymore, @Calabar! ) - "Santa Fe Super Chief" Train Windscreen 2x6x2 6567 - Train Front 55768 (which is quite odd, as it is only used in one set - 7897) Anyway, enough work to do checking and updating my Official Sets entries...

Winterbreeze Posted March 10, 2013 I'm overjoyed that the long Elven hair was added. That'll help me out quite a bit. On an unrelated note, is there a way to scroll the pattern application window? One would assume that if all these new decals are going to be implemented, it would be a useful feature to have. I'm already having trouble fitting in all the head patterns.

I suppose changing the resolution on my monitor would help, but I don't want to do that every time I open the program. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SNIPE Posted March 10, 2013 (edited) The 'ring' (dont know that part number but LDD says its 10067) is super useful, it is a stud to stuc connector which allows for two studs (not clutches/brick undersides/studholes) to be joined together and is very thin so it also acts as a .5l bush but without s crosshole and slides onto any technic axle. Now I bet it will fit on pins too so maybe thats something to add to ldd since it dosn't currently. You also get 'half pin and stud with 3l bar', and more new technic parts as well as a lot of technic/system and system bricks.

Superkalle Posted March 10, 2013 The ring is really tricky though as pointed out earlier. It "forces" two studs into each other from opposite sides, i.e. something you can't do IRL (you can see it if you make the ring transparent). And if the LDD Team ever change the connectivity behavior, all models using the "ring-method" will have bricks removed when opening them. But it's fun to play around with.

I've been able to do this for quite some time now, oddly enough. Is there anyway to revert to the older version? This one is killing my video card. If you're using Windows 7, it has a feature called 'Previous Versions' that allows you to change it back. Here is some information on this: http://www.howtogeek...ave-your-files/ is this ring actually meant to act as a stud joiner or is it some minifig part or something It is used in The Lord of the Rings sets as 'the one ring' that the story revolves around. It doesn't actually connect studs in reality, only in LDD. Edited March 12, 2013 by Masta' Blasta' Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SNIPE Posted March 13, 2013 Wait are you saying it actually dosnt fit on a stud? I want bricks that are actually useful not just for design, lego is still quite limited mechanically and that isnt good for me and probably other people. The stud connector is a good idea if it works because its a spacer for axles and pins and stud connector. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyC Posted March 13, 2013 It fits on a single stud, it just isn't deep enough in reality to take studs on both sides at the sane time. Ultimately it's intended as a minifig accessory rather than a building piece as such. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
