    Stud.io Instruction Maker may be better than Blueprint and LDD, but it is not the go to dominant design software for digital LEGO creations. It is definitely not a replacement for the LDRAW group of software. I do a lot of Technic models and I don't see any advantages yet with Stud.io 2 except the Photo Realistic rendering which is absolutely fantastic.

    OOH! This IS a thrill. I'm so happy with this , I don't have to set up a studio anymore. These renders are GREAT!

    You might want to consider 9398 Crawler. It's fun to play with as well as build. It has has 2 large steering ball joints, 4 portal axles, 2 large motors and 1 servo motor amonst it's parts. Plus 4 shock absorbers with extra hard springs.

    I guess I need a little more direction on how that is done. Thanks I figured this out myself. You have to save it on your PC first without the ".txt" on the end of the file name.

    Philo, Thanks for this work. But, how do you open it in LDCAD or MLCAD?
  6. 1963maniac
    I use MLCAD for virtual building plus adding steps, rotations and etc. I use LPUB3D for making the instructions. I use Stud.io because it is easy and gives a great render (using a high enough quality setting).

    The first time I used Technic it was studded. But, I wished for studless even then before we knew what studless was. I'm so very glad LEGO eventually went to studless Technic.

    and ERIC LEPPEN said: For me, relaxation is a big part, and Lego is a great medium because it's limited to fixed-shape elements that can be combined in lots of ways to create interesting things. It's limited enough to be manageable and not overwhelming, yet offers enough possibilities to stay interesting for many years. But what is it that attracts me in the act of Lego building? I think it's the combination of, being alone, escaping from the real world, relaxation, familiarity, focus on something abstract, creative expression, the sensation of touching the Lego bricks, and probably there's even more things. Many things come together in Lego building. It can't be said any better than they did!

    You are not going to be able to press the track directly onto a baseplate without using riser plates (in between tracks and baseplate) to connect straight and 90 degree portions to the plate below. Those curved areas of track will not do it.
  10. 1963maniac
    Are your track connecting points on the switches damaged in any way? I guess I'm not much help.
  11. 1963maniac
    If you're assembling this layout with the so called "corner tracks" also being known as "curved tracks" then it should fit perfectly. I assembled it on "Bluebrick" software and it works there. Maybe check your connections, fully seated?
  12. 1963maniac
    Which switches you are using makes a difference on the answer to your question. Get a part # for your switches from bricklink.com. What do you mean by corner tracks? Do you mean cross tracks?
  13. 1963maniac
    If they are exactly the same, then "2X" works. But if they mirror each other, I would want two instructions.

    There is both an LDD and an LDRAW file here https://bricksafe.com/pages/1963maniac These are both Attika's. The LDR was converted by "Stud.io". I don't know how to bend the soft axles. So, you''l have to imagine then bent properly.
  15. 1963maniac
    Thank you! And, I'm sure I will have questions sometime.
  16. 1963maniac
    Would you be willing to post them somewhere free like "bricksafe" and post a link here?
  17. 1963maniac
    I would like to build this. Do you have a digital file or building instructions?
  18. 1963maniac
    I'm an MLCAD & LPUB3D user. Yes, Lego get us an updated version of LDD!! Creating in digital and then building in real plastic causes the need to buy more LEGOS. The desire to share our creations and the desire for others to build it, requires a way to easily make building instructions. I VOTE YYYEEESSSS!!!!!!

    I made my own with help from a guy who flipped the throw switch to the other side for me. it cost what I paid for the "flipped throw"on Bricklink and 2 sets of Lego switches plus glue. I saved a lot of money and it works very well. Cost was between $40- 50 and it's the same size as Lego and comes apart just like Lego one. This 'doc' explains and shows a little of what I did. https://bricksafe.com/files/1963maniac/A Double Crossover Switch.docx

    Is SNUG an acronym for something?
  21. 1963maniac
    How you will use it will help with how to answer your question. These parts are available for LDRAW library. A few pages back Philo talks about them. Part # 35188.
  22. 1963maniac
    Buy what interests you. Eventually you'll want to buy the biggest set you can afford. You'll get more for your money and also get more choice parts. Bear in mind one set won't do it. Yes, you can get many excellent parts on sites like Bricklink, but you will pay shipping too.

    Check out how Didumos69 did his limiter on his transmission tunnel (back a page).
  24. 1963maniac
    That's getting better. Keep going. I like that you're using the older style driving rings, takes up less real estate.
