Now you have two folders: LDD and LDDExtended. You'll find the following in the "Palettes" folder:Įxtract LDD.lif and LDDExtended.lif in the same way you extracted the db.lif file. "pes": This file says something about friction which might have something to do with the old exploding animation. "Materials": This file contains all color RGB values.

"DecorationMapping": This file contains which decoration belongs to which parts. "CurrentMaterials": This file list all current colors that are in LDD. Navigate further to "LOD0", this folder contains the 3D models for the parts. "Primitives": This folder contains the technical data for the parts. Advise: do not open this file in a normal text editor, it will mess up the file, making it unusable! " MaterialNames": This folder contains English and German names for the included color. "MainGroupDividers": This folder contains the images of the part groups. "Decorations": This folder contains all decorations. "Assemblies": This folder contains the *.lxfml files for the assemblies. You'll find the following in the "db" folder: "xxdb.lif"), this is your parts back-up file! Rename the original "db.lif" into something else (i.e. You'll now find a folder named "db" and one named "Palettes". Drag that file onto LIFExtractor.exe (it doesn't matter where LIFExtractor.exe is located: downloads folder, desktop or anywhere else, just drag db.lif onto the exe file) The "AppData" folder could be hidden if so: activate "Show hidden files" Navigate to: Users//AppData/Roaming/LEGO Company/LEGO Digital Designer. The LIF Extractor can be found here: LINK

How to access the current parts of LDD? We need to know that before we can add new parts.ĭownload LDD LIF Extractor for 32- or 64-bit systems. That means that LDraw parts are allowed, but that Mecabricks parts are strictly forbidden Ī part must always have connectivity and boundary boxes Ī part may include collision boxes but this is not necessary for approval.įirst things first. Only parts that adhere to these rules will be added to the parts pack(s). That doesn't necessarily guarantee the highest quality standard. Off course we would all like to have as many new parts as soon as possible. This post shall list these new parts and contains a link to a zip/rar file with those new parts. Now, a few members of the Eurobricks community cracked the code and are able to create parts in the format LDD uses. For a long time the exact format of the code from the LDD parts was not exactly understood. It has been a long time since Lego Digital Designer (LDD) has been updated with new parts. To keep this topic clean of comments, please request and discuss HEREĪll the undesired posts will be moved to the aforementioned related thread
