It seems that the file got simply truncated at some point, which is obvious when you compare the file sizes of the 4.3.11 and 4.3.12 versions. Unfortunately LEGO developers also somehow corrupted the Assets.lif file that contains the brick library.

That resulted in more convenient install on latest Win 10 systems, which is nice, since I personally had trouble installing 4.3.11 on a fully updated Win 10. Why choose file swapping instead of downgrading: in version 4.3.12 LEGO has removed the Flash dependability (or Silverlight, i don't remember now).
#LEGO DIGITAL DESIGNER ALTERNATIVE ARCHIVE#
If you don't trust my version of the file, you can do it yourself easily, since the "setupldd-pc-4_3_11.exe" distributive is essentially an archive and the file can be easily extracted with tools like WinRar or 7-zip from there. I happen to have this file archived here.Īfter you replace the file and restart LDD, all bricks will be available and all your previous creations will open without errors. You just need to replace "Assets.lif" file in the 4.3.12 installation folder with the same file from 4.3.11 version. I think I might have a more elegant solution rather than downgrading to LDD 4.3.11 :

Here are some links for previous versions:Īlso found a hint for installing old versions on Windows 10 if Adobe Flash Player fails to install: įor anyone looking for an alternative to LDD since it is not longer supported by LEGO, Studio from Bricklink has a similar building experience and can even open LDD files. When installed it still shows the version as 4.3.11 even though the file name hints that it is 4.3.12. If I had to critique anything about Stud.io, it’d be really niggly things like the fact that the hinge tool can’t be controlled with arrow keys like in LDD, or how the brick you’re holding doesn’t disappear if you select a tool - again, like in LDD - as those are my only actual qualms with it.The current download link at is. LXF files with Stud.io Īll in all I’m very impressed. Not only that, but you can also link up your Bricklink account so that you can buy your models - Remember when LDD let you do that?Īnd those worried about leaving their LDD projects behind needn’t be, as you can open and edit. Now while that’s fantastic on its own, Stud.io also has it’s own built-in POVray rendering facility, which is super easy to set up: However, as it is a Bricklink product, the parts and colour inventory both match Bricklink’s, both in depth and naming, which makes finding the parts you need super easy. Those familiar with LDD should have no trouble picking up Stud.io, as the way you build things is pretty much the same. I’d previously had a go with it when it was early in beta, and was disappointed by the lack of good drag and drop controls - This has since been fixed, however, and I can safely say now that I’ve officially been converted! Each category contains components that are simple to. It has a vast library of more than 50,000 pieces, divided into many different categories. So tonight, everyone’s favourite mask maker that I try out Stud.io again, Bricklink’s alternative to LEGO’s official CAD program, LEGO Digital Designer. It is among the greatest Lego Digital Designer alternatives, but it also offers a tonne of additional tools and features that set it apart from the competition.
Step aside LDD, there’s a new digital brick in town
