Hi xSergio74, In LDD, you can change the rotation center by right clicking on a part.

it's done

How to do ? LDD is closed and Lego Universe in LDD is activated use 7-zip to unzip the files http://www.7-zip.org/ Get the file db.7z Unzip the db.7z in the same directory as preference.ini For Windows 7 and Vista it can be found here C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\LEGO Company\LEGO Digital Designer\ For Windows XP here: C:\Documents And Settings\UserName\ApplicationData\Lego Company\Lego Digital Designer\ Rename/delete the file db.lif Get the file Definitions.7z Unzip the Definitions.7z in the Assets directory For Windows 7 and Vista it can be found here C:\Program Files (x86)\LEGO Company\LEGO Digital Designer\Assets For Windows XP here: C:\Program Files\LEGO Company\LEGO Digital Designer\Assets It's done, you can start LDD ! (^_^)V Now you have access to more than 200 additional parts coming from Lego Universe. And you can customize LDD. How to add new Custom Decals ? Be careful, a lot of parts don't have UV mapping (texture coordinate), then it's not possible to add custom decals. I think it is better to be confined to parts already defined in the file DecorationMapping.xml. And it is best to follow the surfaces accepting decals. First, close LDD. Make your decal with transparent color in background, then resize it to 128*128 (unlock Picture's aspect ratio) Copy it in the Decorations directory and give it a filename with 5 digits (mine start at 90000.png) Get the part number for the part you want to add a custom decal. Edit the file DecorationMapping.xml in the Definition directory, add a new line at the end of file Example: use 90001.png with part 3814 (minifig's torso) on the surface 1 <Mapping decorationID="90001" designID="3814" surfaceID="1"/> You can start LDD. if you make a mistake by not complying with the instructions, LDD could crash. How to remove my files ? Close LDD, then delete the directory db For Windows 7 and Vista it can be found here C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Roaming\LEGO Company\LEGO Digital Designer\ For Windows XP here: C:\Documents And Settings\UserName\ApplicationData\Lego Company\Lego Digital Designer\ Delete the directory Definitions For Windows 7 and Vista it can be found here C:\Program Files (x86)\LEGO Company\LEGO Digital Designer\Assets For Windows XP here: C:\Program Files\LEGO Company\LEGO Digital Designer\Assets Start LDD. You don't have to reconstruct the lif files, LDD use directories with the same name if it find them. db.lif contains : db |---Assemblies | xml files (Parts's Assemblies, if a part is referenced here, you can't use this part alone) |---Decorations | png files (all the decals available in LDD, only size 128*128 for decals, only filename with numbers) |---Primitives | xml files (description of each parts, have sub part, connection information like axel rail ...) | |--- lod0 g files (contains 3d structure, vertexes, faces, [uv mapping], face normals) Definitions.lif contains : Definitions |---DecorationMapping.xml | Relation between parts, decals and sub part |---MaterialSelector.xml colors palette in LDD

I have made a transparent png from a decal in the SPACE Decals index (thx Lamanda2) But i can extract decals from Lego Universe

I have made some tools in Java to extract the lif file content from LDD and pk file content from Lego Universe (the game) When the files are extracted, you put these files in your appdata, example C:\Users\shiroitenshi\AppData\Roaming\LEGO Company\LEGO Digital Designer And it works ! I can make available the extracted files

Hi all, In the software LDD, lif files are like zip files. When they are extracted, then it is possible to make some changes. Some are quite simple: - Add new colors in the palette - Add new decals http://img401.images...i/52182716.png/ Other more complex: - Add new parts http://img706.images...i/78038208.png/ - Create sub parts of a part for coloring - Fix some connection problems These same parts also exist in Lego Universe　（the game), there are approximately over 200 additional parts. It is then possible to use these new parts in LDD http://img839.images...i/52101850.png/ If this post is a problem, I will delete it. (sorry for my english) goodbye
