December 3, 20195 yr Think I finally cracked the code! Fiddled around with the XML files I created for Nos. 36840 and 36841; these results are the best that I could muster, though still must figure out how to fit pieces underneath 36841, as I am running into collision issues. Anyways, hope you enjoy what you see! Edited December 3, 20195 yr by Jason C. Hand
December 10, 20195 yr Is there a download link available for some of these parts? I would love to be able to use them in my LDD.

Hello Brick Cucumber, No, there is no download link for the parts at this time, as I am still working out issues with at least one piece I was able to put into the program Once I can get that squared away, I'll definitely supply a link for the pieces in question.

Anyways, hope you enjoy what you see! Were you able to decode the ‘Connectivity’ Section of the xml file ? I want to use it to place a logo on studs in my renderer but can’t figure out the code of Custom2DField. Except that type 23 is for “Stud” connections. But what the meaning of the numbers like 18:1:1,23:4:1,29:0:1, 23:4:1,... Any idea ?

April 29, 20204 yr Hello, I followed the instructions and it worked to import a new piece into LDD but the piece seems very tiny, how can I fix it? I noticed that before extracting the LIF files there were pieces that now are not present, where did they go? Also, every time I add a new piece should I delete the first folder under "C:\Users\]UserName]\AppData\Roaming\LEGO Company" ? Edited April 29, 20204 yr by tonycr

May 4, 20204 yr Here's some clarification on where LDD reads its data from and how it works - in short, when it comes to parts modding, color modding, etc, you shouldn't be touching the Assets.lif file in Program Files at all, it's db.lif in AppData that gets used - be sure to read the full post though: https://www.rockraidersunited.com/topic/7899-ldd-updatingpatching/ Edited May 4, 20204 yr by jamesster
May 5, 20204 yr To change size, in blender, go to import, choose ldraw and (in under the file path) there is the scale option; put it in 0.04 more or less.
May 5, 20204 yr Thank you for tutorial guys!!! The next question is: how to create decoration map for new parts (or simplier - two-colored parts like 35660) Edited May 5, 20204 yr by jester

May 10, 20204 yr It is possible to share these parts so that everyone could add it to LDD with a simple procedure? It would be very interesting to open an indexed topic with the new parts or, even better, a "pack" maintained by an expert user, it could give new life to LDD. @jester It seems that the image hosting you are using don't support hotlinks, it is necessary to copy the image url and paste it in the address bar in order to see the image. Maybe you could use a LEGO related file hosting such brickshelf or bricksafe. Edited May 10, 20204 yr by Calabar
