Title: LEGO Digital Designer
Post by: DaBigE on August 18, 2014, 02:04:07 AM
I know we have a few Roblox users on here...any other LEGO Digital Designer (http://ldd.lego.com/en-us/) users on here? I just discovered the program after watching the extras from The LEGO Movie a couple weeks ago. So far I've found it to be really addictive, and surprisingly powerful for freeware. Too bad they don't let you order what you build any more :no:

One of my quick creations so far:

This still exists??!  :-o  I've known this program for a long time, I believe I was in intermediate or middle school (grades 5-8) when I first saw this. It's great because it gives you the feeling of building with LEGOs, without the mess / clutter / I-don't-know-where-my-LEGO-box-is-dammit that traditional LEGO sets give you.

You forgot the feeling of pain from stepping/kneeling on a piece :sombrero:

I love that you can work with just about every LEGO piece made and be able to make your model what ever color you want...even apply certain decals. In the end, you can have it generate building instructions as well as a BOM (Bill of Materials), which ends up being an Excel file of every piece you used with it's color and quantity. If your model has hinges or doors, you can even kinda "play" with your model within the program. I haven't found a way to move the garage doors, other than section by section.
