    Here's a quick test I did in LPub3D. Is that the effect you're trying to achieve? Sample File

    I've used Extended mode pretty much exclusively since it was introduced. I continue to be surprised at the number of people who use normal mode...
  3. Classicsmiley
    The list of parts in "normal" mode isn't always accurate. I was just looking through the modified plate section, and saw several pieces in the new grays that went out of production long before the color switch. If you filter the list by color, you can quickly find lots of other parts that were never produced in the specified colors (at least as far as Bricklink's sales history knows). My recommendation: give up on normal mode, and enjoy the freedom that comes with LDD Extended!

    20601 (mad scientist head) isn't multicolor.

    You can't attach pieces to the front or back underside of the new Mighty Micros mudguard 24151.

    I move parts in instructions with buffer exchange, and then ignoring the second copy of the parts in the partslist. I can send you an example if you'd like, if you PM me your email address.

    For some recent instructions I've made, I've done the building in LDcad, and then switched to MLcad to create the steps, rotation steps, buffer exchange, etc.

    I just found an interesting bug: if I open an MPD file in LDcad that contains an MLcad arrow, the sub-model that contains the arrow will not show in the list of sub-models. Also, if there is an MLcad arrow in the main model, all of the polygons in any studs are highlighted.

    I'd start by looking through this thread. People have re-created many sets, from many themes. You should be able to find some good examples...

    Is cut flex tubing or pneumatic tubing ok?

    How do you remove parts from the Favorites list? I'm left clicking on a part, to make sure it's selected, then right-clicking and selecting "Remove Current" under the Favorites heading. However, the part does not seem to be removed from my Favorites.

    I do understand the decision. My other quote was in response to the statement that the house contest didn't seem fair. In terms of creativity, is there any real difference in creativity between a physical model with good photography, and a digital model with a good render? Especially if the digital model only used elements* that exist in real life? (I apologize for getting a little off the track of this contest. I'm just trying to understand more of the thinking, not just for this contest, but for all no-digital-entry contests.) *An element being defined as a particular piece in a particular color

    I'd still rather see contests that are open to digital entries, than contests that exclude digital entries...
  14. Classicsmiley
    I figured as much, but I thought I'd ask. I'd really like to see more digital-friendly contests, for those of us who don't have easy access to our physical collections...
  15. Classicsmiley
    You specify that no LDD entries are allowed. How about other digital entries? (Ldraw, Mecabricks, etc.)

    You might check out this thread, and see if that's what you're looking for. http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=78072

    Yes, I know I'm resurrecting a very old thread, but I realized I couldn't remember if the LDD brick prizes that were awarded were ever actually added to LDD? If so, which bricks were chosen?
  18. Classicsmiley
    Wow, that's subtle! I remember back when there was an error with the Erling/headlight brick. LEGO did fix that one, and I don't remember any models breaking.

    If you're using a computer keyboard with a number pad on it, pressing the 5 key in the center will center all of your model in the viewing area.

    If you could find the source of that information, I'd love to read it! Edit: missed the other post by a few minutes...

    Bah, that's hardly a disaster. :) As for water effects, I use dark tan edges and reddish brown centers under dark-trans-blue tiles for the water in my MILS modules, and I think it looks pretty good.
  22. Classicsmiley
    Thanks for explaining this! It's been quite a while since I linked to an LDraw file on Brickshelf, so I forgot to mention that necessary step.
  23. Classicsmiley
    Add all of your sub models to your main file, then add whatever references you need to between them. Here's an extremely simplistic example of what I'm talking about. http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/ClassicSmiley/Temp/submodelexample.mpd

    This is looking good! Will we be able to see any portion of it at the Laramie Depot show next year? Also, 100 trans-dark-blue tiles isn't going to get you very far.
  25. Classicsmiley
    No, I don't even have Photoshop installed.
