I recently had a Bricksmith user write asking for help importing an LDraw
file into LDD. (He was using LDraw because LDD made it very difficult to
build his model.) But when he attempts to import the LDraw file, he sees at
most the first brick of the model and nothing else.
I verified this on LDD 3.0.11 for Mac OS X. If I export an LDD file
containing nothing but 2 1x1 bricks not touching each other, LDD produces a
valid LDraw file. Attempting to import said file back into LDD (with no
changes) doesn’t work. Sometimes I get only the first brick ready to place;
sometimes I get nothing at all. In no instance do I get any error message;
only the little import-finished bleep noise.
Is this a Mac-only thing? Is it a problem with the latest version? I can’t
find any older versions available for download. My e-mail to Lego technical
support hasn’t been answered yet either.
Thanks,
Allen

I’ve never had it properly confirmed but I’m fairly certain the problem with
import is that the overlap detection is way too overzealous. Which means that
when you read in a file it decides the parts conflict and can’t be there. It’s
irritating.
