Yes, adjusting the gear ratios was also my first idea, when I was thinking about using different motors. Thank you for advice!

Ok. Thank you both of you! Brunojj1's solution looks interesting. I've also ordered Sariel's book to read more about adders.

Yes, only one output shaft. I've seen in a video, that 4 L-motors were used to motorize the 42056 Porsche. But I don't really know, if they are all connected to a single battery box: Alright, so I will only use one type of motor. Sariel's book seems to be a really good information source. Thank you!

Hi everyone, Two little question regarding Power Functions: 1. Is it possible to combine 2 L-motors with 2 XL-motors at the same time, working on the same gear of a car (2,0-2,5 kg) or will only motors of one type work? 2. How many M-, L- and XL-motors can be used on a single 8887 rechargable battery box (to move the same car as above) at the same time? Thank you in advance! xXFoxhound90

Sorry for double-posting, but I didn't want to create a new topic for this little question regarding LPub: In my instructions on page 1 there are 4 steps with center placement and a divider, which separates step 1 and 2 on the left side from step 3 and 4 on the right side. Now, I want to move step number 1 to the top-left location relative to the page and step number 2 should also move to the left position, but with a little room to step number 1. The divider should ALWAYS be placed in middle of the page. Step number 3 and 4 should be moved to the right side. I'm not able to move just single steps like if there's only on step on the page. If you want to see a picture, go to page 48 steps 44-47 of Lego's instruction page (Big Ben): https://www.lego.com/en-us/service/buildinginstructions/search?initialsearch=10253&ignorereferer=true#?text=10253

Yes, it works. But those parts are not shown in the bill of materials. To solve this problem, I created a second file, included all the parts from this build plus the parts, that are used multiple times in the step, saved it and loaded the file in LPub. Afterwards, I inserted a blank paper and added the bill of materials, and exported this page as a picture. Back in my original file, I also inserted a blank paper and imported the bills of material with correct numbers of parts, which are used. It's a little bit complicated, but, at the moment, the only possibility. Hopefully, the author of LPub will implement this feature in the next update.

@GREG998: Yes, this would be a possibility! Thank you!

@1963maniac: Thank you. I will take a look! @legolijntje: Ok. That would be nice, if they implemented this update. Thanks!

Thank you! I will definitely do my best!

After browsing many tutorials about LPub, MLCAD and trying things out, I haven't found a solution for my problem: I want to create a model in MLCAD, which has to be built four times (like a substep), but it shouldn't start with step 1, 2..., but with a consecutive step number. I mean: main model (e.g. step 1,2,3) --> model, which has to be built four times (e.g. step 4,5,6) --> main model (e.g. step 7,8,9). If you want to have an example, go to step 43 - 56 from the instructions of 10253 Big Ben: https://www.lego.com/en-us/service/buildinginstructions/search?initialsearch=10253&ignorereferer=true#?text=10253 Thank you in advance!

Hi, I'm from Germany and I'm Eurobrick's newest member. I'm 26 years old, study economic computer science and my plan in this forum is to create precise (originally-looking) instructions with LDraw and LPub, especially the 42056 Porsche with many modifications featured by members of this forum. I do really appreciate their efforts and their contributions to this fantastic model! Meanwhile, my skills with this software are pretty decent, but there are still one/two questions. Hopefully, there are people who can help me out. Alright, that was my first post, xXFoxhound90
