(...) It looks like they have put the zero point of the parts in one corner, not in the center point as in LDRAW. OTOH, when you are tilting a part (up arrow) it's not rotating around the same point, but that may be an effect of the snapping. (...) (...) (22 years ago, 11-Nov-04, to lugnet.lego)

(...) I'll try that. (...) 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 (...) (22 years ago, 10-Nov-04, to lugnet.lego, FTX)

(...) I agree. I think it's absolutely fantastic that they've included a Senior category (...) I'm hoping to do so, but am still struggling with the LDD software. :( Best regards, Allan B. (22 years ago, 10-Nov-04, to lugnet.lego, FTX)

(...) Thanks, placing pieces I have figured out. I can now sporadically save with some manual preferances set but it is very sporadic and the graphics are real flakey. I love the idea but I am runing on a pretty beefy Windows XP machine and these (...) (22 years ago, 10-Nov-04, to lugnet.lego, FTX)

(...) The competition has two age groups, under 13 and 13 and over (Junior and Senior). The finals will have 10 Grand Prize winners: 8 juniors and 2 seniors.

While I think this is a good idea I have found the software fragile. I cannot save at all, it just shuts down the program. I find it very difficult to line up the 8x8 plates/roadplates next to each other. I am going to try reinstalling the software (...) (22 years ago, 10-Nov-04, to lugnet.lego, FTX)
