Thought for you - would it solve the problem or really mess things up if you tried sticking a suffix on the end of the part number, say 46212-A ?? Hopefully that'd stop the LDD Find-Replace from recognising it and changing it, perhaps

Thanks guys. Isn't it great how updates usually cause no end of problems for existing apps . . .

A quick daft question ( or 3 . . . ) for those in the know . . . Are Mac users affected by the issues with the LDD version direct from Lego ?? If so, where could they download the good version from ?? My project is almost ready - what worked in LDD needed a few small tweaks once I got the bits from Lego - and I'm going to do a little website for it including the LXF files and software. I'll post a link for that when it's up - where's the best place to post details of a random daft machine made with Technic bits and bobs ?? Thanks in advance.

There's a tool to re-pack an extracted set of files back as a db.lif file mentioned in this earlier post . . . https://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?/forums/topic/170286-custom-ldd-bricks-and-fixes/&do=findComment&comment=3340006

Thank you so much - it was the dreaded 4.3.12, looked at the installer when the replacement downloaded !! Sort my designs later - and make a note to sort the xml too - right now, time for a celebratory drink

Didn't have 2670.g - solved Tried LDD Extended - got a 2x2 studded brick with an ! for it and nothing showed dragging into the build area - oh joy Tried copying elsewhere and renaming it as 14720g and shoving that in - nope. LDD About says 4.3.11 but I'm trying a reinstall with the alternate download as soon as it's ready to go - wish me luck and thanks :)

Hi all, looking for some help please. I've unpacked DB.LIF and tried a couple of the pack updates on the page that links to here as well as rooting round Github without luck. I'm just trying to add the 3 x 5 I-Beam, 14720. Got the 14720.xml no problem but the 14720.g for the LOD0 folder is nowhere to be found !! If anyone can help with either :- Do you know where I can find it ?? Do you have it in your LOD0 folder and can upload and link so I can get it ?? Do you know how to turn a .OBJ file into a one that works ?? Do you know how to turn a .STL file into one that works ?? I only need this one piece and it's driving me nuts !! Thanks in advance :) PS - once I add those 2 files will I need to do anything else or will it finally let me build instead of using highlighted 3x1's ?!?
