LDD 3.0 – Better and Sleeker!

LEGO has release an upgrade of the popular LDD!

The latest version 3.0 features the ‘DESIGNbyME’ concept that allows you to proudly design the box that will carry your cool model if you purchase it online.

Mindstorms 2.0(8547) is also supported under the ‘Box’ filter tab and you can find new components like the PF Batterybox and PF motor all under the same palette.

Arrows are also added for users to easily rotate their model (the right click and move function still works though) and this is a plus for educators using LDD for lessons!

So what are you waiting for?
