(note that I couldn’t browse, LDD doesn’t recognize .dat as a valid extension, but will load if it I type that in)

5) The two bricks (MS grey on the left, yellow on the right) are “attached” to my cursor (this is how imported files come in), and I’m able to place them in the scene.

Hope this helps,

Thanks Joshua. This is what I wanted to hear.

I figured out what the problem is. The Mac version of LDD expects imported LDraw files to have Unix line endings (LF), and silently fails if the line endings are in another format. Ironically, it exports CRLF as one would expect.

If you convert the LDraw file to Unix line endings, it imports correctly (well, as close to “correct” as LDD provides with its finicky restrictions).

Does anybody know how I can report this bug and actually have it get to the people it needs to get to?
