Posted April 8, 20168 yr Hello all, first-time post on here. I really hope this is no a duplicate post, because I could not find anything through the search. I am building digital Technic models on LDD, and have read that SR 3D Builder is much better for the meshing and bending of parts such as gears and soft axles. I know that tool has not been updated in quite some time, but I cannot get it to run on any machine or operating system, real or virtual. I've tried everything from XP to Windows 10. It installs successfully, but when I try to run it, it crashes with an "unhandled exception", apparently related to the .net framework. Can anyone help me to get this application running? Or the best option would be to link me to a portable executable version of the latest SR3DB. Thank you!
April 9, 20168 yr I can advise you to use LDCad instead of SR3D Builder (which is sadly not going to be developed anymore ). LDCad uses same LDraw part library and is actively developed with issues being fixed.

But I still want to get it running. I know that some of us have it running and I hope that they can give us some pointers/tips. TIA //swegoof
April 14, 20168 yr I still use SR 3D Builder. I found out latest versions having too many bugs so I came back to version from LDraw all in one installer 02-2013. It works fine although ït is missing latest parts. I've solved this issue by adding missing parts in MLCad. If anyone is interested I can share this installer with further instructions how to run it.

It's LDraw all in one installer so I recommend you to install just SR 3D Builder and minimum required programs and libraries. Then you can install latest LDraw library in different directory to get access to latest parts. They will not appear in SR 3D Builder but you will be able to add them manualy in model file and see them in LDView.

They will not appear in SR 3D Builder but you will be able to add them manualy in model file and see them in LDView. I don't really see a reason why new parts wouldn't appear in SR3D. After adding parts, did you do the 'database refresh' (or whatever it's called, can't remember) from the toolbar?
June 14, 20168 yr Hey guys hello to everybody! I'm trying to open some files of *.mpd format with the help of SR3D Builder, but the program do not open properly, everytime an error appears.. The the two crossing red lines through the program window. Windows 7. Tried to install different versions - nothing:( Who can help me. If need screens - I can do them on the evening... Thanks!
