    Another way is to select all bricks, and make them transparent. Then select the brick you want to find and put it onto the scene floor. Chose "Shape Selection Tool" and then color the parts in red or somthing (or hide them). This is off course only to identify where the problematic bricks are. Also, if it's only about replacing 1x4 or 1x2 bricks without pin to those with pin, then you can use LDD Managers Search&Replace feature (or simply edit the LXFML file for those who feel comfortable with that method). Note however that this "Search & replace" only works with bricks that have the same geometry (shape) and brick origin (like 1x4 w/o pin > 1x4 w pin).

    I honestly have no clue. I haven't been told anything by the LDD Team about a 5.0 version, not even if there is an upgrade planned for the 4.x versions. Not lie (did I say that?) - what I mean is he wouldn't say "hey....we used a special version", when the important message "hey, there is a really cool tool called LDD that we've used and that you can download". And as can be seen in the movie....except for some extra buttons it looks identical to the normal LDD.

    Please take is easy with the powerwords - feels quite misplaced in a topic like this. Also, the image is oversized. There is a policy at EB to have max 800 wide images in order to make the site friendlier to smaller screensizes, for downloading on mobile devices etc.

    Oh, OK. Thanks!

    What is it you want to say with this?

    Hi Jody I'm going to move your post over to the Town section. The Digital Designer forum is only for posting about about things related to digital tools (techniques, software, issues, how-to etc).
  10. Superkalle
    No worries then Let's see if you get any help here. Or if LEGO responds with a solution, please post it here

    As a response to this, I was told the other day by the LDD Team there is actually a special LDD version made. What that version contains, I don't know. And what version is shown in the YouTube clip I don't know either, but I'd suspect that special version. And even if Aden Sarsfield is using the Movie version of LDD, he woulnd't say that, so it makes sense he is instead refering to LDD in general, which looking on the clip is almost identical with the exception of those additional buttons.

    Check out this video at about 12.45. LDD LEGO-Movie edition...with extra toolbar buttons that does...something. And a stud-less scene floor

    I don't know what this problem can be. Let's hope some MAC user can help out? In the meantime - what's the OS version you're running? Are the graphics drivers up to date? Also, just as a friendly tip - there's no point in posting angry faces in a post where you are asking for help. This is a peer-to-peer forum, so the only ones reading here are your fellow LDD users. Angry faces will only reduce your likelihood of getting help

    Good to hear you're restarting LDD. First - as for your topic title - a more descriptive title then just "How do you use it?" would be appreciated - makes it easier for people to help. As for your question, LDD doesn't allow you to free-place bricks in the air like that. You need to connect bricks and build bottom up. Having said that, there are methods to work around this using "scaffolding" techniques. Do a search here in the forum - there should be a few topic that will give you some ideas.

    I'm moving this into the (based on the minifig scale) correct theme here at EB. The DD forum is more for discussion around various digital tools and techniques, not so much about MOC:ing.
  16. Superkalle
    Shouldn't be a problem. Go ahead and post. Please note though that general, MOCs should be posted in the respective theme forum here at Eurobricks. The DD forum is mostly for discussing questions, techniques and possibilities with digital tools (LDD, Ldraw etc). However, sometimes we allow MOCs here too if they are of an interest to other digital builders, but then normally we ask you to share the source file too. If you don't want to do that (which is completely OK), then I propose posting in the theme forums.

    I generally can't see any problem with posting real life structures. But I guess it depends on what it is. What kind of structure are you thinking about?
  18. Superkalle
    Generally I agree, but please have a look at the parts, and you'll see that some are not only similar, they are exactly the same - the reason they even are in LDD in the first place is most often due to a mistake by the LDD Team (they let it pass through without realizing it was just a replacement DesingID for a previous part). But please have a look, and post any comments

    I understand your point Calabar, but IMHO it's better to have the brick version in LDD that is actually used in the most sets and is most recent, even if it would be it's slightly less versatile. The reason is that for the most part, I use LDD to build MOCs, and then I want the bricks in LDD to be the ones that are most easy to find in BL. If the brick in LDD has some open holes for example, then I'm tempted to use the holes, only to discover later that that part is much more rare, more expensive, and doesn't exist in so many colors. Also, I could add to the discussion the list of bricks that we forums users earlier (I think in a topic a year ago), found unnecessary duplicates, i.e that cound be removed from LDD. Any comments to that? Any additions? IdenticalElements8.lxf

    Volvo actually makes their own engines, so no Deere there . The Volvo made engines are used in all Volvo brands (Volvo Bus, Volvo Construction Equipment, Volvo Trucks and Volvo Penta Marine and Powergens), and I believe also in some of the other brands owned by the Volvo Group such as Mack, Renault Trucks, Eischer and UD Trucks. As far as color, Volvo heavy diesel engines have been painted green for many years. Don't know exactly, but I'd guess 30-40 years or so. And concerning John Deere engine color, I don't think they use green anymore but silver (at least if looking on the web).

    LDD follows the LEGO legal principles, i.e. it doesn't allow you to put bricks together that would ruin them over time (allthough there are a few exceptions). This is both the strength and weakness of the tool (depending on your personal taste). If you want more flexibility and put bricks together any way you want, then I recommend the Ldraw ecosystem. For the above example, you can however most likely solve it with some scaffolding - but it's too late on the friday evening for me now to explain now - maybe someone else can help out.
  22. Superkalle
    It sure is!
  23. Superkalle
    I think you are right. I didn't notice by just looking at the front page. But if you click on "Explore all builds" in the lower left corner, you get to the familiar map view. EDIT: On the other hand, there is a "Build Academy"-button to the right that I don't remember. Maybe that is new?
