Hello, I would like to make some CGI brick films and have run into a problem with finding hair for the female characters. The only parts I know of for female characters are the shoulder-length hair and the hair with pigtails. Has anyone made an (...) (17 years ago, 1-May-07, to lugnet.cad)

|

Hi, Once I create a moc in LDD 2.0 (or open elseone's moc) how do I get the list of the parts? Also, can I "Try to Build it" on peeron? (I understand that if the LDD->LDraw conversion was working fine I could "kill these two rabbits at once".) (...) (17 years ago, 27-Apr-07, to lugnet.cad.ldd)

For my next LDD MOC, I built a PRR T1 #6110 (4-4-4-4 duplex-drive steam locomotive). I've uploaded it to the Lego® Factory, so once it is approved you can take a closer look. My new BBB wheels arrived in the mail today, so this may be the one that I (...) (17 years ago, 27-Apr-07, to lugnet.trains, lugnet.announce.moc, lugnet.cad.ldd, FTX)

(...) Sometimes Windows seems to have a hard time remembering environment variables in DOS boxes (I'm sure there's some long, complicated and stupid system to it). Maybe add something to set them to the batch files and see if it works. Tim (17 years ago, 22-Apr-07, to lugnet.cad.ray)
