Seriously? I've never gotten the hang of any Lego CAD system, including LDD, MLCAD etc...I can't figure out how to do depth control with LDD for example.

Iain, I have now built the better part of the "balance of power" game board. I was very worried about how I was going to make the board level. turns out, after a few test screws, I found the center of the 2x4. A few "extra" twists of the nut, and (...)
