RMS

Got it now!! Those URL's work when the whole lines is pasted. Some very good models there!! Do they take as long timewise to make on the PC as they would in real blocks?

Mike

They are probably quicker to build. The way you can paste things and put bricks on in mass cuts time.
Thanks for the complements, I guess youll be entering, All us entering should keep each other informed about our models. Good luck.

Short deadline, not sure I will have time

RMSGreatBritain · « **Reply #31 on:** December 20, 2008, 18:11:44 »

It wont take that long to build will it? Not for me anyway

CaptainMike1 · « **Reply #32 on:** December 20, 2008, 18:12:19 »

You are an expert, I would be a learner!!

Sounds good, Im going for a Catamaran style cruise ship, although Swath and Catamarans are basically the same thing

Well the program is actually very simple, and Im sure your a good learner, you should pick it up very quickly

Minime · « **Reply #35 on:** December 20, 2008, 23:23:21 »

If you played lego when you were younger, it will help, atleast it did for me

RMSGreatBritain · « **Reply #36 on:** December 21, 2008, 08:14:21 »

Yeah It does, now I use LDD as more of a design tool

Minime · « **Reply #37 on:** December 22, 2008, 14:12:55 »

If you have any questions related to the competition, they will soon get answered. I sent a email to them, asking about a forum or something, and they said they would probably set up a FAQ or something

Right then, here is my Oasis category entry for the competition. When its put on the gallery after its been checked you will be able to download it and have a closer look:

Yes, although I have a feeling Im will have to go quite fast to get it done cos mines massive! by the way, have you finished yours yet?

Minime · « **Reply #41 on:** January 02, 2009, 10:00:44 »

No, I'm strugling with the hulls

RMSGreatBritain · « **Reply #42 on:** January 02, 2009, 19:33:42 »

How? Upload some pics and Ill give you a few tips

Minime · « **Reply #43 on:** January 02, 2009, 20:20:40 »

It just takes long time to do, since I'm not really sure how to do it +you have to build it, so it later can b built with real legos without falling apart, I haven't done much in the program, but I got it all on paper

RMSGreatBritain · « **Reply #44 on:** January 02, 2009, 20:39:27 »

Is this for the oasis category or inovation category?

Minime · « **Reply #45 on:** January 02, 2009, 20:40:44 »

it is the inovative category, I got some great plans

RMSGreatBritain · « **Reply #46 on:** January 02, 2009, 21:38:06 »

Cool. Right, well, It is easiest to copy and paste things when making the model. For example, in the picture is shows part of the keel. Highlighted in green is the paste box. press this, then select the whole of the thing you want to paste. When it comes up, fit it to the other part. Make sure that the parts will fit. Look at the diagram for a good idea of this. This makes the process much quicker, and you can assemble the ship faster:

Minime · « **Reply #47 on:** January 02, 2009, 23:48:18 »

I use the copy and paste option a lot, but it hard to build it so that it wouldn't fall apart if it was built with real lego

RMSGreatBritain · « **Reply #48 on:** January 03, 2009, 09:50:10 »

Ok, well make sure the keel is thick with bricks, which would then hold together the ship a bit better

Mad_Fred · « **Reply #49 on:** January 03, 2009, 09:56:38 »

Hehe.. Go LEGO!

I used to have tons and tons of it as a kid. I came across that LDD program too quite some time ago, and made this fictional old warship (7000 bits, IIRC).. though it's not really realistic in scale and all, of course, LEGO has its limits.
