WOW! I can't do anything else than agree with the rest here. Can't believe how many functions you cramped in that little space! Lego motorcycles make me happy, there are too few of them. But this is surely HoF material. I would have been impressed with all those functions on a car, on a motorcycle... out of words. Keep the good work, and looking forward to the instructions.

Thanks for the reply. I have tried to do that, also fiddle with the .NET versions a bit, nothing helps. I'm more of a Linux/Mac user myself, so it was a long time since I played with Windows. :) But maybe it's because I'm trying to run it in as a virtual machine in VirtualBox!? I guess I will put that project on hold for now. :( //swegoof

I know this isn't the correct way of asking for help. But I'm not yet allowed to PM or view the members listing... I'm wondering about what version of Windows you are running your SR3D installation? I'm trying it with Windows 7 and I'm not able to get it running. I keep getting an exception on .NET framework. I have updated with the latest patches. I think I'm missing something. :( Maybe anybody else that has it running can give me some tips? TIA //swegoof

I'm having the same issue. And I now that, sadly, there won't be any development. But I still want to get it running. I know that some of us have it running and I hope that they can give us some pointers/tips. TIA //swegoof

Yes, I saw that you could do that. So I agree, that's the way to go. Now, I just hope I make groups that make sense. I haven't explored it yet, but I guess that you might be able to groups a couple of groups!? I'll see. Yepp, that is one big advantage, replace or rearrange a design can be so much quicker and easy in some cases. Or try bricks that you just don't own yet. My biggest "fear", is that I will start buying bricks online like crazy... :) //swegoof

Ok, this wasn't really an easy question to answer, or, it was easy to answer, but we really all have a bit different approaches. :) I do appreciate all the replies and tips I got. @HallBricks: I feel a bit ashamed that I actually could miss Bricks&Pieces at the lego site. Thanks! //swegoof

Hmmm... it seems really mixed. I do understand both parties. There are things that you can't really get digitally. On the other hand... like Erik Leppen said, it's so much easier to get a drivetrain right. Just move parts around a bit without the need to change/rebuild the structure keeping it in place. I guess I will be doing a little bit of both. Though, this CAD programs are a bit of a drag... there are sooooo many parts! I guess it will take a little while to get comfortable with this too. :) Thanks for all the answer so far. And for all the tips on software and places to buy parts. Though I found the LEGO site to be a bit restrictive in the amount of different bits they offer for Technic. :( //swegoof

Hehe, don't be so modest! I had not seen your folding bike until now. It looks really cool. But I'm in love with your Audi RS5 DTM. So much, that I'm thinking of buying all the bricks for it on bricklink, just to build it and put on display in my office. //swegoof

General reply, no one forgotten... Thanks for all you answers so far! I will definitely install MLCad/Bricksmith and maybe even give LDD another go. It has been really helpful so far, to read all your answers. Please, keep sharing your points of view, this is both getting more inspired and motivation levels are getting higher. That is really good advised! As I have struggled trying to fit everything in place, just to have to disassemble and reassemble only because I have to move a piece or add/remove one. As I said before, I'm struggling a bit with the studless bricks. //swegoof

Hi all you MOC:ers! I'm returning to LEGO, after years of absence. Technic and specially MOC's of cars, bikes, etc... and now even busses, thanks to HallBricks, are my biggest interest. When my son gets a little bit older, I guess I will also start getting interested in LEGO City and so on... :) As I'm from the time of studs and are struggling a bit with the "new" studless bits, I have some questions... Specially to the master MOC:ers as Madoca, HallBricks, Thirdwigg, Lipko, brunojj1, Boratko and all you other guys who build amazing MOC's. 1- Do you make your designs with LEGO bits, or start with digital designs? Any recommendations? 2- What kind of programs do you recommend for digital design? Preferably not for Windows, but what a heck, I guess I can boot up a virtual Windows if needed. 3- Where do you buy your parts? I guess that many of you have to buy parts for you creations? I've been looking at bricklink.com, but haven't bought anything yet. Thanks in advanced! //swegoof

Hi there, I'm swegoof, a goof from Sweden. That is a returning soul to the wonderful world of LEGO. Though I'm struggling with the "new" studless format, I'm blown away with what could be accomplished just looking here. :) And... sorry for my silly newbie questions... ;) //swegoof
