Hey 1963Maniac, thanks for your detailed response. I wondered why LDD looks and feels so outdated compared by modern UI software. Is Stud.io a better solution for creating digital MOCs or is just a newer version? So far my biggest Problem is how to recreate MOCs that only exist in instructions (PDF, JPG) only. It's sometimes not that clear what part or what color it shows in the instructions. However I'm not that familar with Lego Technic as well, that's what I'm looking up the most right now. I assume there is no other way than ask various people what they believe is the right part in the picture. But I will give Stud.io a go and the other Programs you mentioned. Right now my only goal is to recreate the MOC and import the finished LDD to bricklink to buy the parts needed.

Hello Community! I'm kinda new to LEGO as an adult. Well I played with it in my childhood I assume like many of you. Now I'm fascinated by the endless possibilities you have to build with LEGO. But I have a hard time to getting anything started. I'm hooked by the design of Mechs and found a few interesting instructions (pdf, jpg) I would love to build one of those. But (of course) LEGO has changed so much over the years, I'm no nativ Englisch speaker as well and have a hard time finding all those various bricks in Lego Designer. Those instructions have no part lists, no names what these parts are and it frustrates me a lot. I quit several times because of that, It took so much time to find a single brick it's unbelievable. Of course I'm slowly getting better,still searching for better solutions but it's a huge frustration so far. Question: Is there any app, or anything that could scan a brick, convert a jpg part list or recognize bricks that could help to avoid grinding through endless lists of categories and bricks? Anything helps.
