In case you weren't aware, in LDD if you go under view, hover over "themes", you should be able to select LDD extended which allows for unusual color/brick combinations, although you have to color pieces manually with the paint tool.
painting them manually isn't that bad especially if you decide to either filter the bricks themselves or use the connected(or same color) selection tool, click on the paint tool and then switch to the color you want all those bricks to be.
Just don't select a colour when selecting bricks. Place them and then "paint them" Or just click the brick in the Step list and you'll see it's available colors
I'm not usually much of a Lego builder aside from me loving the Bionicle line. But I have new ideas for builds that I really want to make! These software will definitely help me plan and get it right. 👌
I wasn't a huge fan of Bionicles myself (however I did have like 15 of them lol). I'm mainly a Star Wars, military, and WW2 builder. Military as a broad term for anything and everything military regardless of era. Different from just "military," I specialize in WW2 since I have an extensive knowledge of the events and equipment of WW2 so I'm able to more accurately build representations than that of just broad spectrum military stuff. I've custom built a Willys Jeep (topless with fold down windshield and mounted M1919), Tiger I Ausf E, Panzer IV Ausf G, Higgins landing craft, Pak 40, Flak 36 (with and without shield), recreation of a segment of Pointe Du Hoc, among others. I miss being 12 with an endless imagination and nothing but time. 10 years later I'm broke just messing with LDD for ideas lol
Interesting. I haven't made the jump yet. I haven't felt the need. Realistically, my builds are scaled back because I also try to keep them possible in Lego Worlds, as well as IRL. So, given the limited parts selection in Lego Worlds, LDD has way more than I need when putting anything together.
ldd extended selecting ldd extended can fix the colour problem by showing only the colour you have selected and allows you to change the colour of placed bricks
I just got use to LDD and then found the Studio. Graphics are far superior on studio. Do you happen to know how to recenter your focus on a certain area in Studio? On LDD is just right clicking the mouse
Lego ceased support for the program and now it has less pieces I've downloaded the program again after a while to build a T72 and realised many pieces I used in other projects were missing

Yeah pretty frustrating he totally missed that
painting them manually isn't that bad especially if you decide to either filter the bricks themselves or use the connected(or same color) selection tool, click on the paint tool and then switch to the color you want all those bricks to be.
What I normally do is use LDD to build just for the instructions and then import the project to get the bricklink parts list.
Dude bless. I was wondering witch one was better and didn’t want to have to invest time into the worse one.
Get the torches!!
Just don't select a colour when selecting bricks. Place them and then "paint them"

Studio has an instruction maker too, you don't have to group pieces under steps like you showed. You just toggle instruction maker.

Very simple, Lego ended support for LDD in 2013, so it is now outdated.
There's Elves dragon heads in LDD's library and I suspect those came out well after 2013, could be wrong though.

I really wish they’d take the best of both and make one app for both Android and iPad.
what I miss of this new version is the sound when putting pieces together from lego digital designer :( it was kinda cool
Thanks for this overview and comparsion, I've only used mecca bricks and looking into what else is out there
Lego digital designer extended is better to use than the normall lego digital designer u choose it when loading a file or starting a new one
Yeah
LEGO discontinued the LDD. Fortunately you can still download the file off the Web Archive.
What's up with the creepy sound in LDD?
Yo construyó en bricklink studio, me parece muy bueno y actualizado.
Are avaible on android phone ?
I chose LDD simply because of nostalgia reasons and because it’s easier to follow imo
I just got use to LDD and then found the Studio. Graphics are far superior on studio.
Do you happen to know how to recenter your focus on a certain area in Studio? On LDD is just right clicking the mouse
Press "F" to pay resp..)) to center view on a cursor
Or download both and use one for one required feature, and other for other ones
Did you tell me, bricklink studio can create character custom new abilities?
Wish this has a phone version : ( but still very cool
When I open digital designer it had green lines on it and the studio had no green lines
I wish LEGO made a game like Minecraft, but with LEGO bricks.
LEGO Worlds is as close as you'll get
This is pretty epic
man i really miss LDD
I use mecabricks
The ldd interface looks very old for me
I need to download these
Very nice review.
i cant use dinosaur pieces in studio D:
I’m getting stud.io right now to try it out
Brick link lacks choices for Minifigure hair pieces. 24791 (Mr. Incredible’s hair) is simply not there.
I just used it for one of my builds...
Very good comparison back then. But outdated by now. But thx, TH-cam algorithm... you really tried.
Is there bionicle parts?That's why i'm here
I use block star app for building i just started and im actully good at it and has better graphics
Stud io has a huge problem with newer pieces / prints. They are just, not there.
only do I use LEGO Words to program my legos on the computer? 😂
Does it work on android
Is there such a program which includes Lego technic elements?
LDD has technic parts. Not sure about Studio
It does but i dont use technic much so i dont know if its good or not
studio 2.0 has technic too and it is really good and useable.
how do you hvae so many parts in LDD, I dont have as much catergories and im missing pieces
Lego ceased support for the program and now it has less pieces
I've downloaded the program again after a while to build a T72 and realised many pieces I used in other projects were missing
Is it free?
Does anyone support collaboration?
You might also take a closer look at Mecabricks.com.
my name isn't randy
Nobody's perfect.
are you reading ur own script? lol i really cant tell. im sorry
i hate lego DD ok NO I NO WHY I CANT SAME PES
Pronouncing something wrong on purpose doesn’t break the ice. It’s overdone and annoying
Not sure what you're referring to.
Clayburn Griffin beginning of the video. Seems like 50% of all you tubers do it and it’s really annoying, you can tell how artificial it is.
@@Jc-go3mz You mean "stud.io"? That's the name of the tool. I'm not sure how it's pronounced. You should check out my video on WeirdFigs.
