Custom LDD bricks and fixes

[Eggyslav]

Question, I just updated, and all minifig decorations are enlarged, and look weird. Will there be a fix?

 

Seriously, either update all prints to fit the new UV mapping, or tell me how to revert. I really hate this change, was it really necessary? It only messed up all my mocs with minifigs, and I can't stand it.

I noticed this flame part https://img.bricklink.com/ItemImage/PN/108/80519.png

Doesn't connect to hand parts like this https://img.bricklink.com/ItemImage/PN/11/92692.png

Possible fix for the next update? Granted I don't have the flame piece IRL so not sure if it can even do that.

https://img.bricklink.com/ItemImage/PN/98/27393.pngIs the minifig power blast piece really not in LDD? I could have sworn it was added since it is in Stud.io

Edit: NVM I was looking at the wrong part number in Bricklink

No, that's definitely in there, but it's in the hinged pieces folder for some reason instead of the minifig utensil folder. Right above the swivel plate upper part.

Hey gang,

May someone please help me (or point me in the right direction) with putting LDD's color pallets in? As in for the color picker in LDD Extended??

[nervousman]

I don't understand one thing - to update the parts list , I only download the last file from the last update file and it contains all previous ones, or do i have to download each update file from the entire topic?

Hello, I made some Decals for 21051: Tokyo https://brickset.com/sets/21051-1/Tokyo . The Blue building with the Crisscross lattice decal. I have the PNGs and they're tested in work in LDD but I can't upload images over 7.14 KB for whatever reason. They don't exist in LDD, Stud.io, or Mecabricks so I wanted to share them for free and public use but apparently the PNGs are too big. Is there somewhere I can upload them?

[ThorsHammer9999]

I was able to get into my old Bricksafe account and was able to upload the images there. 

How they look in LDD


The PNGs themselves. They're meant for part number 42918.

@Stephan I wanted to follow up on those torso errors I reported on the website. Did you get the screenshots and save files I emailed to you on the 4th? Were you able to learn anything from them?

Please this thing but without the updated minifigure parts

Hey guys, new member here. 

I've been trying to install these custom parts for a few days now, and they just don't appear. I've been trying to follow the steps exactly as they are stated in the LDD New Parts thread.  I don't know if it's an issue of not having something or someTHINGS in the right folder or folders, or some other problems, but I am genuinely at a loss and I don't know what to do. As I said, I followed all the steps just as they were stated. Any help you can give is greatly appreciated. 

 

EDIT: nevermind, I got them installed. I followed a tutorial I found on YouTube.

To both: Welcome to the Forum. Do check out the following information as well, which can hopefully make the installation process a bit easier for Windows. Before adding any Custom Updates, the best thing to do first is install LDD properly. There is a new perfect method to do this as detailed in my earlier post linked below, which essentially combines the two installers for both “LDD Version 4.3.11” and “LDD Version 4.3.12” to achieve a perfect installation.

Once complete, Custom LDD Updates can be installed. Start with the “Complete Update“ from Dropbox as linked in the Post to receive all new content since 2020, then install the latest LDD Update (January 2025) as well. The easiest way to describe the installation process is to Copy and Paste all Folders and Files into the corresponding locations on the User’s PC, then select “Replace All” when prompted (only after the “db” File has been extracted). The main “db” Folder should be located in “C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\LEGO Company\LEGO Digital Designer”, so everything should be Pasted within there. Remember that most new Bricks will only be added to LDD Extended, so always check here first. P.S., Do check this topic and the main Custom LDD Update Website for further news regarding ongoing issues with certain Parts such as Minifigure-related ones, which require more time to fully address.

Thanks for the reply, Suenkachun. Everything is in working order now, but I'll be sure to keep an eye on both threads.

Quick question: is there a way to add the Big Ben Bricks or Brick Train Depot wheel files in LDD? Three of them were added to LDD when I got the files installed, but none of the others are present. 

[Takanuinuva]

Any idea when the next LDD parts update might be?

[Jason C. Hand]

Hoping that part no. 371847 (Jabba the Hutt) big fig can be added to LDD. I'll link to the raw file here since I did not produce it. It's post 69.
