@dvnstt This is another possible solution using a Panel 1 x 4 x 1 (which is possible in LDD):

first post, so im probably breaking like 3 rules already. long story short i downloaded LDD a few days ago to get back into legos because i loved them so much as a kid. my only problem is i cant find a piece i know i had years ago. it was basically a 2x2 plate with another set of 4 studs on the bottom, its purpose being to join the bottoms of 2 other bricks.

if that brick has been discontinued i understand. if so, is there any other way to join the bottoms of 2 bricks without adding too much bulk? thanks in advanced

That part not only is not in LEGO Digital Designer, but was never developed by LEGO. I know of a Megablok piece existing with that shape, but not a LEGO brick. There are ways to... hold on... images...

I've merged your question in the correct topic

[ArmorGyarados]

Thanks Alcom1 you were right it was megablock, and thanks for the picture they really helped. and thanks legolijntje for keeping things in order

[Lego Otaku]

Actually I think that piece started with Tyco. I've seen them and have a few somewhere.

[Flea]

where can I find ? thank you

[legolijntje]

I moved your post to the correct topic Please use this one if you can't find a brick.

You can find the brick in the category with a headlight brick picture, the 3rd category.

I can't find these parts anywhere, and I really need them for my build. If someone could help me out, that would be great.

The search box in LDD can be really useful. I just searched for "hinge", and expanded the all of the element sections.

The numbers for the two halves of the hinge brick are 3830 and 3831, and the hinge plate is 73983.

Thank you so much! How do I make them hinge on an angle?

Request moved in the proper topic.

I would like to have a piece VERY similar to this in LDD. Its f.king annoying me, that this piece and the lower Toa Metru torso is not in LDD. If anyone can show me a similar piece, I would be thankful. I want to use it to connect a shield on a HF arm piece or for another use, like a knee, elbow, shoulder or even an ankle.

@jjakajonas

Welcome to the Digital Section of Eurobricks.

I moved your request inside the right topic. Read carefully the first post of this discussion and check if it helps.

[Yooha]

Maybe that' not the good topic, but I couldn't find a "general questions" topic?

Is there a way to acquire the built-in decorations as separate image files? I cannot find them in the LDD program folder.

[Calabar]

@Yooha

Maybe the right discussion was this old one, but the theme is a bit thorny: get resources from LDD deal with the hack of the software, that we decided to don't support or promote.

You can read something more about that in the Sections Rules.

[Takanuinuva]

Hey does this piece exist in the current LDD http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=x928cx1&in=S It was used in the hockey sets in 2003.

[Calabar]

I don't remember it, maybe it is not in LDD.

It is not so strange that LDD don't contains old and particular bricks like this one.

Anyway, wait for some other opinion!

[UrbanErwin]

Hello, I'm looking for this part in LDD 4.3

and/or the left version.

[Calabar]

Look for part IDs 53404 and 53407.

[UrbanErwin]

That didn't work. I think I'm going to try to create it in MLcad.

Probably these parts are not in LDD database, then.

You could wait these parts will be added someday (you can also request that here to promote them) or use some other LEGO CAD ecosystem (LDRAW based or Mechabricks).
