Glad that you ordered the GG1! This isn’t the first complaint about
instructions generation in LDD, unfortunately. I would suggest trying the
different instructions modes (there’s one for vehicles, buildings, and
Technic) to see if you have better luck. You can also vary the number of
pieces added to the model in a given step. From what I can tell so far, the
instructions mode for buildings may be the best for many train designs, since
it has a more intuitive, ground-up approach. With that said, I’m sure it’s
far from perfect. Think of LEGO Factory models as part LEGO model and part
jigsaw puzzle... it makes negotiating cryptic directions a lot more fun.

NOW you tell me :-) Actually I managed to get it built, but it wasn’t easy.
| |
Also, there was a patch issued for LDD just the other day. If you fire up
LDD 2.0, it should get the patch automatically. From what I can tell, it
corrects some part placement issue. But who knows... maybe it does other
things, too.
|
That doesn’t seem to help, as I did a fresh install of the program last night
just for this - my wife’s Mac didn’t have it installed.
| |
When you finish the GG1, put some pictures up online for us to check out!
|
OK, I will do that shortly. I need to get some track out of storage to test it
out on various turns and switches though.
