Superkalle Posted January 9, 2014 Posted January 9, 2014 @Christ Clapper - have a look at the manual (press F1 button). It has the answer to most basic questions about how to use LDD. Quote
Crist Clapper Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 Hey folks... Here's the missing "thing" that's non intuitive... Even with the online manual... ... The arrow key on an existing piece only works AFTER you move it a bit. Just saying! Quote
JTS Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 Hi Everyone, I'm looking for the following piece and (think) I've looked everywhere.. It's listed on bricklink as a complete assembly of two separate pieces, but I can't find these either. Help would be very much appreciated Quote
Calabar Posted January 15, 2014 Author Posted January 15, 2014 (edited) LDD contains only a part of bricks created by LEGO, maybe that brick simply is not present in LDD. Look at this page (the set 8070 contains that part): if you find the brick there you should retrieve an adequate Design ID that you can use with the search function integrated in LDD. EDIT: is the part this one? Try then with the Design ID 50301. Edited January 15, 2014 by Calabar Quote
Philo Posted January 15, 2014 Posted January 15, 2014 50301 is composed of parts 32495 and 32496. None of these seem available in LDD. Quote
JTS Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Yeah I have looked for 50301 without any joy. I must admit I'm very surprised it isn't available. Quote
Philo Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 May I suggest to use LDraw/MLCad/SR3Dbuilder where these parts are available, as well as most Technic parts?... Quote
Crist Clapper Posted January 20, 2014 Posted January 20, 2014 The link please? May I suggest to use LDraw/MLCad/SR3Dbuilder where these parts are available, as well as most Technic parts?... Quote
Calabar Posted January 20, 2014 Author Posted January 20, 2014 @Crist Clapper Take a look at the LDraw info topic, you can find the link in the Section Index, one of the two pinned topics of this section. Quote
dvsntt Posted January 23, 2014 Posted January 23, 2014 I want to use this part in a model, but am unable to find it anywhere. I searched the forums for the topic already. but encountered lots of posts discussing Windows as an O\S in regards to LDD. Thanks for any insight. Quote
Lego Otaku Posted January 24, 2014 Posted January 24, 2014 What part? Have you looked on Bricklink or Peeron or something for the exact part to get part #, then while in LDD extended mode, enter the # in search box above part window to see if it's there? Quote

pbat Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) Hey, has anybody found a rod/bar/stick? Like the one Yoda holds. Thanks! In most sets, Yoda holds his light sword, however in sets 7958-25, 7260 or 4502, Yoda holds a bar 4L (30374) in reddish brown or brown, which resembles a stick. In LDD this item is confusingly called a Light Sword Blade, although it is nothing but a (reddish) brown bar 4L. Do you mean that item? Or rather some sort of cane or walking stick? 90540 is merely a ski pole, but maybe adequate, too; 90390 or 98134 may fit in an egyptian context, but surely not star wars and Yoda; 13790 and 88001 are rather clubs than sticks: Please render more precisely what exactly you have in mind.

The_Viking Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Hi! Well, my question is nearly the opposite of what this topic is intended for... but I hope it is still the best place to ask for. I have noticed that, under the category "hats/caps/everything you put on the heads of minifigs" of LDD, there is a so-called "Garrison Cap", which looks very similar to both the caps worn by Russian and Allied troops during WWII and the paper hat worn by the Butcher minifig: The problem is: it seems that this part is present in LDD only. Lego.com says "No results" when asked for part # 4156 in the "Bricks and Pieces" section of the site; at the same time, what Brickshelf tells about 4156 is this: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=494107 My question is: what about this part? Is it a prototype, a banned part or anything else? Does it exist outside LDD and three sad photos on Brickshelf? Thanks. Quote
pbat Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 [...] My question is: what about this part? Is it a prototype, a banned part or anything else? Does it exist outside LDD and three sad photos on Brickshelf? Thanks. It reminds me of the hat of the Legoland Ambassador Key Chain minifig: Since this key chain seems to be exclusive to the legoland parks, it is possible that this part is rather rare and not used elsewhere. But im not certain if this is really part 4156. Quote
Lego Otaku Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Not in Bricklink or Peeron. So that part was never made available as separate piece, just as keychain figure that isn't intended to be taken apart. Good find. Quote
The_Viking Posted February 4, 2014 Posted February 4, 2014 Ok, I will stop looking for it immediately! :/ Thank you! Quote
JunkstyleGio Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 where can I find a loose minifig hand in ldd? Quote
Calabar Posted February 18, 2014 Author Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) @JunkstyleGio It is not possible, but you can manually separate the hand from the rest of the torso editing the lxf file, and then put the torso aside. With a search, you can easily find more informations somewhere here in the LDD forum. The post was from bbqqq. EDIT: here is a technique that exploits the rotation tool. Edited February 18, 2014 by Calabar Quote
JunkstyleGio Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 thanks for the tip, but the hand isn't complete... Quote
dvsntt Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 I cannot locate the old style windows (part 453b or 453bc01 on BL). Can you confirm if these are not available? Thanks. Quote
Gnac Posted March 3, 2014 Posted March 3, 2014 I cannot locate the old style windows (part 453b or 453bc01 on BL). Can you confirm if these are not available? Thanks. It's not in LDD, but the 2-wide equivalent is (search in extended mode for "73594"), so perhaps it's just a matter of time before this 4-wide one gets added. Quote
Solscud007 Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 I am trying to build a SUV and I want this part: Vehicle, Mudguard 4 x 2 1/2 x 1 with Arch Round http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=98282 I cant seem to find that wheel arch. Any help? thanks Quote
Gnac Posted March 9, 2014 Posted March 9, 2014 You can search for design IDs in extended mode. Menu: View > New Themes > LDD Extended Then tap the ID into the little lozenge at the top of the brick palette. Quote

Any help? thanks Please switch to the LDD Extended mode (View > New Themes), then enter 98282 into the search box on the left: Voilà! Quote
