I am talking about digital files. Let me make a simplified example. I have this moc - Moc1: And I have this moc - Moc 2: Both of the above pictures where generated in Stud.io Instruction designer (default settings). As you can see they are scaled differently (because obviously their size differs). So if I simply stitch these to pictures together I end up with this: Now if somehow Stud.io instruction designer could be modified or set to render all parts at a similar size (of course then different models would end up in different picture sizes) I could easily stitch the pictures together likes this: This would be simpler then to scale the pictures in a Paint or Photoshop. I hope this makes it clearer

I have a relatively huge moc which I split into several sub-groups (sub-mocs). Now for the sake of getting one picture of the full moc I want to create separate pictures of the sub-moc and 'stitch' them together later in Paint or Photoshop. The challenge: How do I ensure a similar sizing in all my sub-mocs (i.e. that bricks are similar sized), so I can evenly stitch the pictures together. I hope you understand my question. Any help appreciated.

This looks really nice !

LDD 4.3.12 has many bugs and missing pieces. Get 4.3.11 and follow the steps here: Uninstall Lego Digital Designer Delete this folder also (otherwise a reinstall will not work): C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\LEGO Company\LEGO Digital Designer Get LDD 4.3.11 from here: https://web.archive.org/web/20190622153357/https://lc-www-live-s.legocdn.com/downloads/ldd2.0/installer/setupLDD-PC-4_3_11.exe

Haha. That’s cute !

Would anyone know if there is a mod / hack / setting for LDD to enable a true orthographic camera ?

Its not part of the Unity pack :(

This is a nice render. How did you do it ?

Where did you download Bluerender from ? I don't think it needs this dll

See my reply here:

Unfortunately LEGO put a bugged version on their website. Uninstall Lego Digital Designer Delete this folder also (otherwise a reinstall will not work): C:\Users\<YOUR USERNAME>\AppData\Roaming\LEGO Company\LEGO Digital Designer Get this version https://web.archive.org/web/20190622153357/https://lc-www-live-s.legocdn.com/downloads/ldd2.0/installer/setupLDD-PC-4_3_11.exe

I like it ! It looks very accurate to the original

Is it really 16.000 different parts or does this include prints / stickers ?

Categorization is a matter of preference. For snapping and general workflow I find LDD superior.

None of these parts IDs (the left columns) is available in the Unity pack from Lego. Maybe they really don't like these parts for some reasons (quality, durability issues ?)

If you distribute the modified exe then yeah copyright infringement, I agree. And yes if there is effective protection against modification then its DMCA / EUCD. But distributing a patch (or trainer program) that modifies the an executable shouldn’t be an issue as along as its not to circumvent effective copyright protection, so I’m not talking about a hack that disables copy protection (because this is illegal as you point out - at least in a couple of countries in Europe). Anyway it goes a little off the core topic of a Lego forum.

IANAL: How would a patch like this be different from patch of let’s say Diablo 2 that gives you unlimited money ? On another note i wonder why these replacement pattern were hard coded into LDD ?

Interesting phenomenon. I can confirm that 46212 is also replaced in my LDD. I did several other tests like deleting 2454, 24541 and 46212 (xml and all g files) and creating a completely new part for 46212 with a wig geometry (2454 and 24541 still deleted). After saving a new build lxf-file with the test 46212 part and reloading it in LDD says 1 brick couldn't be loaded and will be removed. In a further test I completely removed my assemblies folder (just maybe to ensure there is no interference there) and I couldn't get part 46212 working. Maybe 46212 is blacklisted somewhere in LDD ? Update: Just renaming 46212 to 46213 fixed the problem for me. I think its kind of a bug (or undocumented "feature"). Maybe somewhere hardcoded in LDD.exe ? I did all my tests on Windows 10 by the way. I'll look into macOS later. Update2: Same on macOS 46212 will replaced

Are you sure you overwrote the original 2454.xml in the db folder correctly? Maybe you should delete it (make backup 1st). I see the original has an alias for 46212 as you can see below: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?> <LEGOPrimitive versionMajor="1" versionMinor="0"> <Annotations> <Annotation aliases="2454;46212"/> <Annotation designname="BRICK 1X2X5"/>

I see there is a difference in these parts (LEGO PART 2454b Brick 1 x 2 x 5 with Hollow Studs and Bottom Stud Holder with Symmetric Ridges | Rebrickable - Build with LEGO) But does this difference make a difference build-wise ? I get 46212 can slide in reality but for the other two parts does their use differ ?

Yes can confim the macOS version you can get from LEGO site is good (in the sense that it includes the lastest brick library Lego ever released officially), the Windows Version is as SylvainLS explains. Caveat for the macOS version of LDD: it is 32bit software only so the latest macOS version you can use to run it is macOS Version 10.14: "Mojave". Later versions of macOS dropped 32bit software support.

This means you go the broken LDD Version from Legos website :( Steps to solve: Uninstall Lego Digital Designer Delete this folder also (otherwise a reinstall will not work): C:\Users\<YOUR USER>\AppData\Roaming\LEGO Company\LEGO Digital Designer Then get the good version from here https://web.archive.org/web/20190622153357/https://lc-www-live-s.legocdn.com/downloads/ldd2.0/installer/setupLDD-PC-4_3_11.exe

These numbers are not part of Unity MicroGame. They might have different numbers but I don't remember having seen parts like those.

I made a video
