Can't connect Mini Lance 384926 as an axle.

[Supa15]

I just got LDD and to practice, I decided to make some things that I have manuals for on it. On my manual, the "Mini Lance" or piece # 384926 is through some piece and is used as an axis for the catapult thing, but I cant seem to get the Lance to go through the piece. How do I achieve this? Thanks so much (:

I replaced the title with a more significative one.

Could you describe a specific connection you are trying?

In which part are you trying to insert the lance?

A screenshot (CTRL+k) that shows the connection could be useful (but be careful to don't insert an oversized image).

Oh, thanks. Here is a screenshot

Hello Supa15 welcome to Eurobricks.

If you take a look in the photo below you can see that I connected the lance by using Lego plates and a clip to raise the height of the lance.

It is now the same height as the center hole in the technic block,which will then allow the lance to slide through the hole.

The image is very explicative.

The problem is that there is not a connection among those two bricks (the technic hole is too big for the lance), so you have to use a scaffolding as Alasdair Ryan did.

Another maybe faster scaffolding is to use a Technic Pin 1/2 as a support to perfectly center the lance. If I remember correctly I used this technique for the drawbridge of the my 6085 Black Monarch's Castle.
