Hi, I've been having a lot of fun designing my own creations in LDD. But in order to make things nice or more realistic you have to try and get 45 degrees or odd angles going. Obviously the grid pattern does not lend itself to much to that. As you are probably aware, unless your happen to stumble upon the magic lengths that are all exact numbers (see Pythagorean theorem) your pieces won't snap together. Although LDD allows you to make these connections when they are "close enough", very often they are so far off that such a connection shouldn't be attempted with real bricks. I have been doing my own calculations to try to find lengths that would allow me to snap at 45 degrees, unfortunately there is rarely a match. Now my question is, what is the acceptable tolerance used by TLG for making such connections? Or do they even allow any at all? Thanks Nic
