LDD and LU?




Recent discovery by EuroBricks user superkalle is a new piece of code that can be placed into the LDD software (no worries because he even provides very detailed instructions) of accessing a special database of LEGO elements that have never been released on LDD and in colors LEGO has never produced. This new theme is the LEGO Universe theme which acts in the same manner as Ldraw and MLCad. I have applied the new theme to my version of LDD and find it much easier to use. I think it is also easier to make instructions and such if builds are mostly straightforward. There are also extra tools in this new version of LDD and as mentioned above exclusive LEGO colors that parts aren't ever available in. Check out the new code here.

A few things to keep in mind are that you can't check the price of anything you build in this mode as the parts aren't actually available only digital.
This goes along with the above statement, but you also can't buy whatever you make.

I would write this code in mine, but I deleted LDD from my laptop because my hard drive was running out of space and I never used it...

Ah yes, I added the LU bricks to my LDD just a few days ago. Very useful! It includes a lot of old cockpit pieces, and [almost] a full colour palette too (where is trans-dark-blue?!?)

Does anyone know how to transfer LDD file into LU to your property?
