Nachapon Bricks

Thanks to "Aanchir". I modify this from his great work. nachapon110918 by Nachapon S., on Flickr LXF_file Copy the moves form MS Windows's chess game or others if you want to play with AI. All chess pieces are one plate height floating above the board. To select a chess piece: 1. Just click it with connected select tools (shift+V,V 1st time, later just V key). or 2. By click desire piece on sub-groups tool icon(can sub-groups 8 pawns by weapon, helmet, or chang the base color for easier indentify.) To move a chess piece: 1. Just move it to square you want click(on group tool)-drag-click . but next time you can only re-select it by groups tools (can not use connected select tools anymore because it already connect to the chess board) (Not to use tranparent 4x4 plates dummy, look better but not convenient, it takes time to find corret piece) or 2. Drag the tranparent 4x4 plate dummy to the square where you want to move to. (No need to swith back to normal select tools, just drag it by connected select tools) ,click the desire piece, then drag the piece noto that dummy plate. Repeat 5 steps drag-click-click-drag-click for every moves. (This way the dummy also remind you that what are the last moves each players did, and you can view it big by Ctrl+1,2,3,4 keys) Just move dead pieces out board. If you wish can hide them with L,V keys(back to connected select tools for next move). ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I will post how to random roll the dicea of LEGO board games set on LDD. So we can play all LEGO games set on LDD. LDDScreenShot31 by Nachapon S., on Flickr To random roll a Dice of lego board game set in LDD is very easy. No need to build any addiitional things, or use hinge tools fast drag circles then release around the red axles like above two bad samples. The hexagon one is still cheat-able, and the stick one is hard to cheat but difficult to identify which face is most Parallel to base plane, have to buid guide thing aside for easier compare but still not convenient. The best way is easiest just build the dice only! Click the dice with connected select tool or drag a box to select it, drag move it a bit, 1. Hold then release left or right arrow key.(the dice will rotate horizontal very fast and stop) 2. Hold then release up or down arrow key.(the dice will roll vertical very fast then stop) 3. Drag right mouse button to orbit camera about 90 degree, 4. Hold then release up or down arrow key again. (have to roll all three xyz directions in any order before each move. To ensure that all six faces have equal chance = 16.6666%x6 to face up as real dice. If just two all face have chance to face up, but not equal= 25%x2 + 11.25%x4) (don't enable advance shading, the dice may roll too slow if you PC not fast enough) or Or save the dice as a template object then just click to use it. after rolls all three directon, remember the result. press V key back to connected select tool the dice will gone and you can move the game piece. Now we can build and play all lego games set on LDD! To select and move game pieces same way as the chess set.

1. Click and drag mouse wheel (middle/3rd button) to pan the camera. (shift + right mouse button drag doesn't convenient enough) 2. Auto create quick user bricks and colors palette from all bricks and colors in the work space.(user colors should be one click change) 3. Filter bricks (and decals) by typing number or name in search box. 4. Easy to import custom decal.(at least for local use, not to save with lxf to prevent lxf file become too big.) 5. Photo quality render.(at least just still image screenshot, can wait long render time) 6. Option to turn off the studs grid in build mode. 7. Tool to apply allow collision property to selected bricks.(can build model that use flexibility of real brick, Why limit ourself and give up the advantage of virtual digital world) 8. Force align/connect tool. select pair/pairs of joins (studs) on difference brick then auto align/connect as best (auto assign collision bricks as allow collision property if happen). 9. Move select brick to any direction by input number.(stud units support decimal) 10. When you try to slide in an axle or bush by draging the mouse. A sound and icon remind you that you already slide it to touch another brick. (so no need to zoom in and check) 11. Camera option FOV (old LDD 1.x 2.x function) and depth of field (render). 12 Custom wallpaper in all three mode. 13. Bring back and improve running train function. can control speed, direction and switch track. 14. Function to make movie / animation. 15. Add mechanic, physic, PF part, NXT part, train part function simulator.(SR 3D builder) 16. Total weight/price of all/selected bricks realtime display. 17. For non design by me buyable bricks. Have option to get roughly price from internet server database. 18. When a brick selected. four remain pose preview icon pop up related with four arrow keys. So you will never turn the brick wrong way again and again.(always turn brick to desire pose in one key/click)

I tried to use less brick quantity as possible but maintain the outside apperance almost same as original.

I just complete LDD 10196 Grand Carousel with less errors (no decals, wrong roof) This is so far the most difficult set I built by LDD. 10030 Imperial Star Destroyer is more difficult here Harder than 10179 Ultimate Collector's Millennium Falcon.(year ago I built both set use LDD 3.x without unlock universal mode.here) why? please see the 2nd pic. LXF find_bbqqqbbqqq_at_youtube_grand by Nachapon S., on Flickr Three structure dimension are not ideal studs distance(have decimals): 14.x 25.x 35.x This is ok to build with real brick, but you will get assembly problem in LDD when connect all of them together. gran dim by Nachapon S., on Flickr I forgot to -1 when count the studs so I correct it.

No problem. I am glad that you like my work.

I don't have the instruction of these two sets.

Thank you very much 'Aanchir'! Your answer is very clear and useful to me. I can't wait to try it.

When connect Clip-and-Bar Hinge their plates not at the same hight. Because yellow is lower than green. Big blue show how "far blue end" looks like. This model was built without touching any hinge tools. PS. Is it true? There is no way to connect Clip-and-Bar Hinge to ideal position (from top view)? I try the Clip-and-Bar template, but LLD allow two position Clip, both of them are not at the center position.

It mean use less brick quantity as possible but maintain the outside apperance almost same as original.

Sorry, I didn't notice that. Thank you 'Bojan Pavsic' your information is very useful to me.

To find an ideal / best angle or distance (2D or 3D). I draw a quick sketch on a drawing software then let computer do the calculation. This method get better result than just use auto hinge align tools in many case. Make LDD model as perfect as possible. (fix all un-want but LDD allow slightly stud offset or slightly bricks collisions, gaps) It fix all errors and collisions in my update version of 10196 Grand Carousel.(work in progress). Make 10221 Super Star Destroyer much easier to assembly. I would like to help anyone if you don't have this kind of software. Of course if you good in mathematics, you can calculate by a scientific calculator or even just by pen and paper! Thanks to 'Bojan Pavsic's information: "LDD works with more then 2 decimals... It only displays/rounds to 2 of them." bbqqqbbqqq_110911a by Nachapon S., on Flickr

To find an ideal / best angle (not perfect but good enough, because LDD support just two digit decimal). I draw a quick sketch with a drawing software then let computer do the calculation. This method get better result than just use auto hinge align tools in many case. Make LDD model as perfect as possible. (fix all un-want but LDD allow: slightly stud offset or slightly bricks collisions, gaps)

10179 Ultimate Collector's Millennium Falcon -star wars Thanks for advice. Fixed already.

Hi! I'am new here. This is my first time try the SR 3D builder. The worm gearbox seem work fine. 10212 - UCS Imperial Shuttle Drag mouse on the crank and watch the gears do their job. video clip here: ( I post 16 LEGO video on youtube )

Please finish the Carousel because my version is un-finish and have many errors. I buit this one in LDD then export to SR 3D builder to do mechanism simulation and animation (Play the model virtualy). Just drag mouse on the crank and watch the gears do their job. video clip here: (I post 16 LEGO video on youtube) 10212 - UCS Imperial Shuttle - star wars UCS already made by yellost LDD file here (un-finish) http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=450124

Thanks for made this great topic I were looking for a long time. Also thanks for all who share your work here. Yes, I build all of them without universe mode just because I don't know the existing of universe theme when I build them I have edited my post as your suggest.
