 | | Individual LDD parts?
|
|
Hi all, I'm not very familiar with the LXF file formats, so maybe I'm just missing something, but how do I get at the actual LXF files that define the vertex transforms for each LDD piece? A normal LXFXML file just seems to point at a part ID. Seems (...) (16 years ago, 1-Jul-08, to lugnet.cad.ldd)

Here is the current Ldraw.xml. To install go to \LEGO Company\LEGO Digital Designer\Assets Directory and look for the ldraw.xml file. Back the file up or rename it and replace it with the new file. Make sure it has the same format as you see it on (...) (16 years ago, 30-Jun-08, to lugnet.cad.ldd)

(...) Once I got a better ldraw.xml, the conversion process provided me with a valid ldraw file. The instructions associated with LXF seem to indicate that LDD knows about sub-models, but yet it seems to in-line them when spitting out the ldr file. (...) (16 years ago, 26-Jun-08, to lugnet.cad.ldd)
