|
|
Not sure if it is just me, but has the new version of LDD gone a little crazy? I have been trying to place a 4x4 plate on top of a square made with two 1x2 and two 1x4 bricks, and it will not line up whatsoever. It has the plate half a stud off each (...)

(...) Do you really think that adding moderation to a dead forum will revive it? That's the equivalent of trying to bring someone back from a coma by reading them the ten commandments. I'd prefer to stay in the coma than return to that. Tim (14 years ago, 29-Oct-10, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw, FTX)
