Well, I’ve built my first LDD model (a Railroad Crossing sign) and uploaded
it to LEGO.com. Some initial impressions:

I’d love to share my impressions, unfortunately the new version doesn’t run
on my machine. :( The previous one did, but apparently the software has
outgrown me. And after BrickFest, there’s no way I can afford to upgrade
my hardware, at least for a while. So I guess I can’t play with the big CAD
boys...

Kelly,
Enjoy v. 1.3....just think, you can still build with an unlimited parts
palette(which users of 1.4 cannot) and, according to some, has better
automatic brick placement . I am going to experiment with getting 1.3 back
on my computer, actually for those very reasons. I wonder if we can upload
models to the Factory gallery that were crerated with 1.3 and unlimited
pallettes?

I brought in a nifty little microfig (1) hoversled/skycar that Nik had doodled
up in 1.3 into 1.4... it told me about missing parts, so I had it fetch them.
Then I tried uploading it. It would not let me upload it to the Factory gallery
because of the missing parts, but did let me upload to the Make and Create
gallery.
I no longer have 1.3 on this machine so can’t test whether when you upload if it
even offers the Factory gallery or not, but I would suspect not. Neat if it does
though!
Hope that helps.
General Note: People who are not following along on LEGOFan.com may be missing
out. A lot of stuff is getting double posted but it’s not a complete overlap,
there are tidbits here that aren’t there and vice versa. Even if you’re not
posting, you may want to at least read, despite the many shortcomings of the
UI... (most of the people posting in this thread seem to be doing so in both
places, I think, so this is mostly for the benefit of lurkers)
