   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.
