I also had problems with lining up pieces. Here are some things that helped
me:
- Adjust the mouse sensitivity in the LDD configuration program. This will help with the “floaty” feeling of the pieces.
|
Raise or lower the sensitivity?
|
I raised it - I set it at about 1.5, if I remember correctly.
|
I’ll try that.

Also, has anyone figured out how to rotate a piece around its own center?
When I was able to rotate a piece it seemed to do so around one of its own
corners, which moves the piece out of the model rather than just turning a
different face forward. Any help would be appreciated. I really want to
enter a model in the contest but I’m finding the software more challenging
than I expected.

They always seem to rotate around the corners for me as well. I’m not sure
what you mean by “moves the piece out of the model”.

Picture 4 2x2 bricks together as a square. (2 bricks wide, 2 bricks long) So
you have a model that is 4 studs x 4 studs. If I were to rotate one of those,
around its own corner, it would move itself out of that 4x4 configuration.
Compare that to when I rotate the same piece in LeoCAD, the piece would rotate
around its own center axis. So it would show different faces to the outside of
the model but it would maintain the 4x4 shape of the thing I was creating.
| |
If part of your model is
out of the buildable area, you can recenter the view by pressing the
spacebar. This changes the cursor into a little square target - whereever you
click next will become the new center point of the view.
|
Another good hint. Thanks!
Hey, does your version end up with your regular Windows mouse pointer stuck in
the top left corner of the screen, while the usable cursor is that hand thingy?
Thanks again,
Allan B.
