LDD 4.3.9 bugs and issues

[suenkachun]

Apparently, the Speedometer is not for a 1x2 Tile, but for a Roof Tile 1 X 2 X 2/3. See here.

Thank you for that, so it's actually the control panal of various vehicles such as Helecopters, Race Cars and Boats! As a result, for my 100th post (finally made it!!!) I'll report this as a latest bug of LDD, although I'll do this in the correct topic. Edited July 28, 2016 by suenkachun

I've been having trouble with flexible pieces stretching enough to connect properly. For example, the little chain thing in http://brickset.com/sets/41179-1/Queen-Dragon-s-Rescue? I can't get the soft axle to connect to both clips. It just sort of reaches an invisible limit and won't flex any more. Also, that hose piece from the LEGO Movie sets doesn't cooperate either... take the side build in http://brickset.com/sets/75872-1/Audi-R18-e-tron-Quattro. I couldn't connect the hose to both ends. Really annoying, especially the fact that these are official builds and really ought to work.

Is it me or the model for part 92692 (the 3-fingers clip) is wrong? The angle of the fingers seems wrong.

Indeed, it seems so. The LDD name is “Plate 1x2 W. Ø3.2 Shaft 22.5 D.” which implies that the angle should be 22.5°.

In the construction below, LDD says the angle between red and blue is 104.3°, making the plate’s angle 14.3°.

I think the problem is the plates that connect to the 92692 not perfectly angled with the shaft on 92692.

On the picture I posted, the gold 15712 is connected by LDD (no trick implied) and is correctly angled with the shaft it is connected to. All parts are.

The border support and the shaft aren’t perpendicular (at least in LDD, I haven’t a real one to compare right now).

Maybe the 25° angle is for the border support, not the shaft

LDraw’s version of 92692 has a different angle for the shaft. The correct one?

Yeah it's definitely very wrong. I found out when connecting the recent "hot air balloon" parts, they wouldn't angle in the LDD like they do with real parts. I first suspected the balloon parts, as they're new, but it was the connector.

I don't know if it has been reported already, but there's also part 64644. When you put a rod in its larger end, the rod goes way deeper in the LDD than it does for real. Can be a problem when doing precise work.

That explains a great deal. I was wondering why I could only attach things to the 45 degree parts from one orientation and not the other... and, yeah, those balloon parts are a pain. It wasn't so bad with the Raid Zeppelin--it only uses 7 of them-- but they were a pain on the other balloon sets.

Is it me or is part 53178 (cylinder connector) still missing? I don't seem to be able to find it anywhere in the most recent LDD :-/

It's not in LDD (yet)!
