LDD Tricks
Nachapon Bricks replied to Nachapon Bricks's topic in Digital LEGO: Tools, Techniques, and Projects
@Calabar Trick #10 is much better than #4abc because the formula can move to any distance(<0.1, LDD can move 0.1) you want. Not been restrict by distance that brick bug provide (only 1/80, 0.04 0.105..) The goal of #10 is to hinge 1x1 plate three times form black position to blue. Angle I & II = arcsin ( move_distance / 2 ) Angle III = arcsin ( move_distance ) LDD move trick by Nachapon S., on Flickr- 62 replies

Hinge tool doesn't always work
Nachapon Bricks replied to Steven L's topic in Digital LEGO: Tools, Techniques, and Projects
I added two yellow support then it work. But not so smooth and hinge tool may get stuck. When it happen, use hinge align tool to reset it. I will try to improve it later. -

@'Calabar' They are almost same precise. #4a and #4b moves 1/80 x 4 times = 0.05(1/20 studs). Trick #10 Accurate move brick to any decimals distance. Angle I & II = arcsin ( move_distance / 2 ) Angle III = arcsin ( move_distance )- 62 replies

Good to hear that #4c works fine. I didn't check the text file, but guess it should be about: Target move -0.05 studs in five steps. -(.105)+(.04)+(.04)+(.04)-(.105)+(.04)=-0.05(1/20 studs)- 62 replies

Maybe the inventories at brickset.com are better because it link to TLG customer service. To make custom palette colse to real set, should we include all small spare parts? :) (peeron inventories with extra part?)

Thanks for sharing. You can use Superkalle's LDD-manager to auto generate any official set's custom palette. This good tool save me a lot of time to build official sets. It would be nice if there is a check box to show/hide run out brick while using custom palette in next LDD version. LEGO 21050 LDD-manager auto generated LXF file by Nachapon S., on Flickr

Hinge tool doesn't always work
Nachapon Bricks replied to Steven L's topic in Digital LEGO: Tools, Techniques, and Projects
Basically, both hinge and hinge align tool are just build helper functions. Sometimes we can use their side effect to make animation or simulate mechanic, but may need proper modification to the model. I will try to help if you send or share your LDD file. -

LDD Tricks
Nachapon Bricks replied to Nachapon Bricks's topic in Digital LEGO: Tools, Techniques, and Projects
LDD Trick #9 Average hinge aligned dummies to find accurate angle Hinge align tool will not work with only one hinge-able align part which is not exactly correct length. Trick #9 solves this problem and make hinge align tool become more useful. Average angles of two RED = Acurate angle of the BLUE. LDD Brewery MOC by tcybula. The result 38.96° is exactly same as LXFML analyze method (90-38.96=51.04°, accurate at least two decimals). Brewery LDD by tcybula by Nachapon S., on Flickr- 62 replies

Can you reproduce the trick with advanced graphics enable? Please try to pause the video often and do the trick step by step. You may need to control your mouse more smooth and slowly to make sure the dummy plates connect in correct position.- 62 replies

LDD 5, what features do YOU want?
Nachapon Bricks replied to BasOne's topic in Digital LEGO: Tools, Techniques, and Projects
In LDD mode -> filter bricks by boxes -> custom bricks palette or box# palette. Add a check box to show/hide bricks icon in the palette that run out (Q'ty = 0 or less). This will improve virtual building experience and save to pick a needed brick. Free or paid service, cloud base photo realistic rendering by a super computer or a render farm. Just upload your LXF and submit the rendering setting to the server, check the draft rendering in real-time. The super computer auto convert your LXF to Maya(or other hi-end renderer), render with ultra fast speed then send the result to you. -
