Hm. That's what I figured. That makes using Lego as an art medium a bit difficult, but Lego is just a toy company after all. Welp, guess my build(s) will just have to continue on digitally then. Thanks!

Hello, I'm not really too knowledgeable on the topic of what can and can't be ordered from Lego so I come with a simple question. Is it possible through any means to aquire parts in a color other than what they were originally sold in? Say, for example, I wanted a 3x3 Corner Plate (2450) in Warm Gold (297), but that part doesn't come in any kit in that color. Is there a way I can special order it?

I use LDD personally because Lego bricks are ridiculously expensive to purchase without going to a PAB wall thing. I like to make very large complicated things, and I'd be even more broke than I am now if I purchased all of the pieces I need for these projects. :( If I had the funds, I would gladly stop using LDD altogether since the real bricks are much more fun and rewarding to use. Of course, with enough 3D rendering witchcraft, anything can be real. ;)

Chromebooks are mainly made for student and office work on the cloud. Also, remember that it's not powered by Windows, so it's missing the key components needed to run a Windows Executable File. (.EXE, what most windows games and other applications are.) These EXE files rely on DLL files (basically indexes of code stored deep within the sensitive parts of your computer, system32) to run. Without them, you just have a big complicated text file with senseless bytes of raw, unusable, uninterpretable(I'm making that a word) data. Or something to that effect. Same goes for Macs, though they use different formats. And Linux. And those other more obscure operating systems. So when considering operating systems it's best to make sure that whatever software you plan on using is available for that system. A lot of people seem to be under the impression that a computer is a computer, and the operating system is just for decoration, but there's a lot more going on. So, yeah, Chromebook would be impracticle. But, they are pretty cheap, so you might consider buying one anyway, and repairing your laptop, if it's worth fixing.

It would be nice if you can upload the file so we can play around with it. Creating a solution off the top of our heads isn't the best way to do things sometimes. This looks like a pretty difficult setup. I'm actually amazed that LDD lets you make such a curve...

Hey, that's not too far away from Tennessee! Only 500 miles from where I live. Wait, actually that's about the same distance from here to Florida. >.>

You need to type the directory of the file in directly. It will work then. Here's generally where it's located: C:\Users\somfacsonk\Documents\LEGO Creations\Models\legofile.lxf

Just search the part number. If it's not there, then it doesn't exist in LDD. Also, it's not a very good idea to ask for help in a topic that has been dead for well over a year. The part in question is not in LDD.

See this topic for help: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=86964 I had a similar problem and I was able to fix it using the information provided there.

It wouldn't actually be possible to build with parts you can get from Lego because of the coloration of some blocks, namely the gold detailing and the enormous amount of chrome silver plates/slopes and the blue tiers. Also it is structurally very week in some parts of the handle. I have no idea what the pricing would be and honestly I don't care to take the time to investigate. I've provided the file in the original post which you are more than welcome to use if you would like to calculate the price. It would be at least $400 Thanks for the compliments fella's! :)

Wavefront OBJ exporter. LeoCad doesn't support enough pieces to be useful for exporting models as OBJ.

Pardon the blank space at the bottom of the image, I forgot to crop before uploading. I created this in about 14 hours over the course of about a day and a half. Specs: 3151 pieces 1.864 meters long (~1:1 scale) There are four different large sections in this model. The handle, the blade with the Triforce, the main blade, and the blade tip. Download LXF (~181KB) Enjoy. Use it as your please, just give credit if you do. EDIT: I do hope I've posted this in the correct spot. Still getting used to things around here.

Wow, this looks fantastic! I hope some other bits of the site can get such a glorious makeover over time. Outstanding job everyone.

There was no trick. It was just rotating the appropriate parts until they lined up. Not really that hard to do, just takes a few minutes. But, if you want I will.
