New to LDD?[]
Some simple tips for new users: There are 9 basic tools with different functions each.
- The single selection tool is the simplest, yet most complicated tool. For newer users, it's best for selecting parts, so you can move them around. You can also drag to create a box over a whole model, so you can move the model itself.
- The clone tool is for copying parts already in use. If you drag a box over a model, and highlight the whole thing, it will copy the whole model.
- The hinge tool is for rotating pieces like minifig arms, or Hero Factory joints.
- The hinge align tool is to align pieces that are hard to connect with the hinge tool. It's not yet compatible with Hero Factory joints.
- The flex tool is for hoses, tubes, and chains. It makes them bend.
- The paint tool is to change parts' colors. It has a sub-tool (The decoration tool, only available in LDD Extended Mode) which is used to add designs to pieces.
- The hide tool is to hide various parts. Once hid, click Bob to make them reappear.
- The delete tool is to delete pieces. Like with the move tool, you can drag a box over an entire model to delete the whole thing.
Maintenance[]
Though I'm not able to resolve everything by telling you something here over the interwebs, simply ask me a question in the comments if you're experiencing a problem. I've found solutions to many of my own and know of others.
I also suggest checking this Eurobricks topic and LDD Customer Support.
