I just started playing around with Lego Digital Designer a couple of days
ago and had a few questions.
I am having trouble placing a part in my model. I have found how to use
the PgUp/PgDn keys to move a piece along the z-axis, but is there a way to
move a piece along the x-y axis using keyboard controls?

Not that I know of. You can rotate the whole model and then use PgUp/PgDn to
jiggle the piece you need to move - then rotate the whole thing back.
Obviously, this is a pain when working with a model of any real size.

Yeah, at the Brickfest speech, Mark? from the LDD/Factory team mentioned that it
was possible to build models using the keyboard only -- we just had to find the
secrets that were already in the program. I was hoping someone had found this
partiicular one.

Also, is the a way a piece can move through another piece to get to where it
needs to be placed?

Yes. In the ‘Start Model’ screen, right-click on a saved model. This will
bring up a window that says “Convert your model to another palette”.
If you don’t see the ‘all bricks, any color’ option, go into LDD Preferences
and check the box to allow it.

Thanks - that works!!
