Introduction
What is LDD?
LEGO Digital Designer (LDD) is a freeware computer program produced by the Lego Group as a part of LEGO Design byME; it is available for macOS and Windows, and it allows users to build models and scenes using virtual Lego bricks, in a computer-aided design like manner.
What is an LXF file?
A three-dimensional model or scene created by LEGO Digital Designer (LDD); it is saved in a compressed .ZIP format and contains two files: IMAGE100.PNG (a .PNG design preview) and IMAGE100.LXFML (the .LXFML design specified in XML).
What is a scene?
One or more models can be put into a scene, with additional floor and background, one or more light sources and a camera that determines how is the scene is viewed. An .lxf file can contain a single model, but it can also contain many different models, for example a self-build LEGO city.
What is this Guide to LDD?
Rebrickable has about 8,500 MOCs (My Own Creation), new and unique LEGO models designed by fans, which you can build once you own one or more official LEGO sets. The building instructions for these MOCs can come in the form of an .lxf file, and if you have no idea what to do with such a file, this guide is your answer. It will show you how to download and install the LEGO Digital Designer program, how to load the .lxf file, and how view or generate the building guide.
This guide also contains links to useful video tutorials, a tips & tricks section and chapters on how to get help and how to connect LDD to other available programs. The guide is one of a three part series (Guide to LDD, Guide to Stud.io and Guide to Rendering) with a seperate general introduction on Virtual Building.
The latest version of LEGO Digital Designer, 4.3.11, is available at LEGO.com. The program comes in two versions, one for MAC OSx and one for Microsoft Windows. The Windows version will run flawlessly on Linux under Wine. Click on the Download Now button to download the desired version.
Please note the disclaiming below the download buttons: 'The LEGO Group of companies (LEGO) is providing LEGO® Digital Designer (the Software) at no charge. Any commercial use of the software is strictly prohibited.' This prohibition is repeated in the License Agreement included with the software.
For Windows: save and run the installation program setupldd-pc-4_3_11.exe (326.6 MB). The program will then unzip and start the installer. After selecting your language you want make sure that the licence agreement is ticked and then click next. If needed, add a shortcut to the desktop and then click next. You can then select weather you would like to install for the current user or all users. After clicking Install the software will be extracted. Then click Finish to end the installer. You should now have a LEGO Company menu group with LEGO Digital Designer, Safe Mode and two Help options.
For Linux: open the installation program setupldd-pc-4_3_11.exe with the Wine Windows Program Loader. Make sure Wine is fully initialized before starting the installation (run Configure Wine at least once). Then follow the procedure above.
For MAC: save and double-click the installation archive SetupLDD-MAC-4_3_11.zip (323.8 MB). If you get an error message that says the program 'can't be opened because it wasn't downloaded from the Mac App Store,' right-click the downloaded file and select Open. The Mac installation file is named LDD.pkg. Once the installer starts, follow the procedure above.
First Steps
Each time the program is started, it connects to the Internet to download newly added bricks. The first time after installing the program, this download might take significantly more time. The Menu > Help > About box shows the version number of the latest brick download (Brick Version: 2670).
The opening dialog shows a selection panel on the right with recently used models, an 'Open another file' icon and a 'Free build' icon. LDD models have an .lxf extension. To load an existing model click Open existing file and select the model. The top of the opening dialog contains three tabs, named 'Digital Designer', 'Mindstorms' and 'Digital Designer Extended'. These are themes that determine the contents of the parts library. At any moment, the theme can be changed using Menu > View > New Themes. The default theme, Digital Designer, contains a part library with available colors for each part. More about themes in Tips & Tricks.
LDD follows the common 'left-click is select' convention, while right-click & drag is used to alter the angle of the 3D view. The mouse scroll-wheel is used to zoom in and out. The large arrows against the sides of the 3D view also change the view angle. Besides the bottom arrow there are three smaller icons:
- to the left, curled arrow: show all with highest zoom
- to the right, plus: zoom in (bricks get bigger)
- to the right, minus: zoom out (bricks get smaller)
The left of the screen contains the parts library, consisting of 37 part categories. When clicked the category unfolds to show all its parts. Click again to collapse the category and hide its parts. Right-click to select and drag the part to its place. Parts will automatically snap to the grid and connect to other parts.
The menu bar contains common options such as File, Edit, View and Help, as well as a Toolbox menu to select a tools. The default toolset (also available as icons below the menu bar) consists of:
- Single Selection tool (V) - to select single bricks in the scene
- Clone tool (C) - to make duplicates of bricks in the scene
- Hinge tool (H) - to rotate bricks that are connected with a hinge or a single-stud connection
- Hinge Align tool (shift-H) - to automatically connect two separate connection points
- Flex tool - to bend and twist flexible elements
- Paint tool (B) - to change the color or material of bricks in the scene.
- Hide tool (L) - to hide bricks or models
- Delete tool (D) - to remove bricks from scene
For a more detailed description of camera control, the icon and menu bar, and building tools and palette, see Getting Help.
If you have downloaded an LDD .lxf file for a Rebrickable MOC, and you wish to generate instructions, follow this procedure:
- Start LEGO Digital Designer
- Select Open another file
- Locate the model and select Open
- Press Building guide mode icon (top/right) or press F7
- Use the Next brick (right arrow) to browse the pages
- Press Create HTML building guide (top/left) or ctrl-H
- Select the folder where you want to save your building guide and press OK
In LDD you can browse through the building proces and actually see where each individual part is placed, as the proces is animated and the parts literally fall down into the model. When generated as a HTML building guide the build is divided into pages, which each page containing upto four parts, which are placed simultaniously. Usually the proces is much easier to follow in LDD itself. If you have a choice, use the model in LDD instead of a generated HTML building guide.
There is also an Android App for viewing .lxf files: BricksViewer, a .lxf scene viewer (free).
Getting Help
The LEGO Digital Designer 4.3 User Manual is included with the software and stored in Program Files (x86)/LEGO Company/LEGO Digital Designer/Help/en-manual/en-manual.html. The Readme file contains system requirements and the latest information about the software release. It is stored in Program Files (x86)/LEGO Company/LEGO Digital Designer/Help/en-manual/engReadMe.html. Both files are available in German and English, can be displayed by any browser, and can be accessed externally (main menu) and internally (program help menu)
The User Manual is also available as a PDF at lego.com
If you encounter any problems, refer to the Readme first. If needed, check the Eurobricks Forum in the Useful Links below. If the problem remains, post a question in our Help Forum.
The Import function in LDD has two different form of usage: adding and converting. If you want to add two or more models into a scene, you can't use Open, for that will clear the 3D work area before adding the new model. So after opening the first model, the only way to add a second model is to import it using Menu > File > Import > LXF-Files. The scene, now containing two models, can be saved as usual as a single .lxf file.
If you try to open an .lxf file created by an earlier version of LDD, you might get an error beep and some parts might not be displayed. In that case, try importing the model, which will perform the necessary changes.
The available export formats in Menu > File > Export are:
- LXF-Files
- LXFML-Files
- LDraw-Files
- LXFML4-Files .lxfml
LXF / LXFML / LXFML4-Files
An .lxf file is a compressed .zip file that contains two other files: a .png image (the design preview, used to display the model in LDD's opening dialog) and a .lxfml text file, which describes the models or scene. LXFML stands for LEGO eXchange Format Markup Language, and it was developed in 2005 by LEGO System A/S. The latest version, 5.0 is used when exporting LXFML files, while LXFML4 uses the previous version 4.0. The LXFML files contain a textual description of a model or a scene in a highly structured and hierarchical format, known as XML. As these files can be opened by any text editor, they can be used to change, for example, the brick colors or camera position.
LDraw-Files
LDraw is not a single program, but a parts library based upon the LDraw file-format, and a collection of programs that can use that part-library in some way (see Virtual Building). By using a list that maps LEGO element ids (or LEGO part numbers) to LDraw part numbers, LDD can create an LDraw file that can be read by other programs. The translation table for this mapping is a file called ldraw.xml, in the LEGO Digital Designer folder (see Tips & Tricks).
Export Part List (BOM - Bill of Materials)
A final export is available under Menu > File > Export BOM, which allows exporting a list of used parts in either an Office Open XML Workbook (.xls) or a ZIP-File. A similar list of parts (though much better looking) is added to the generated building guide (see Creating Instructions).
Rendering
LDD can not generate photo-realistic images of models or scenes, but there are several programs available that can render (create a photo-realistic image) a .lxf file. More about these programs in our Guide to Rendering.
However, LDD can generate images similar to what is shown on the screen while building. There are two ways to create such images:
- In Build mode, you can take a Screenshot by using Menu > Tool Box > Take a screenshot or pressing ctrl-K. In the Save screenshot dialog you can enter a name for your image, which is saved as a .png file with a transparent background. Using a graphics editor you can add any background to that image.
- In View mode (Menu > View > View Mode or F6) the model is displayed against a default desert/dunes background. You can chnage the background using Menu > Edit > Change background or ctrl-F. Besides the desert/dunes background LDD contains a jungle/mountains, clouds/ocean and stars/space background. Using Menu > Tool Box > Take a screenshot or ctrl-K you can create an image of your model with that particular background.
I have not been able to find any good general text tutorials on LEGO Digital Designer, because nowadays, tutorials are mostly done in video. Below you will find some links to video tutorials that provide a decent amount of good information. When it comes to specific problems with LDD, such as creating custom decorations, a little searching on the internet usually gets you an answer. Here are some of the special tutorials I found most interesting.
- Adding Custom Decals into LEGO Digital Designer - This tutorial will show you how to mod in custom textures to LDD so that you can use them in your models, and includes a little section at the end on setting these models up for rendering in POV-Ray.
More will follow later..

LEGO Digital Designer is a wonderful program. It looks great, it is easy to understand, intuitive to control, it has a massive amount of modern LEGO parts, lots of great features, and it fun to work with. It definately lives up to Ole Kirk Kristiansen's motto for the LEGO company, 'Det bedste er ikke for godt' (Only the best is good enough). The only problem is that LEGO has stopped developing it; they might be adding new bricks, but no more new features. I truly hope that LEGO will remember the Mindstorms introduction, and apply the lesson learned to the LDD software. LDD ought to be released as open-souce, and the fan community should be allowed to fork it and add new features, and add more parts to the LDD parts database.

Theme
LEGO Digital Designer has three themes, that influence the building palette (parts library) and the available tools.
- Digital Designer (Default) - 37 part categories, all colors.
- Mindstorms - 26 part categories, only available colors.
- Digital Designer Extended - 37 part categories, all colors.
In the Default theme, the building palette contains each available for each part. For some parts this means 50 of 60 different colors. In the Extended theme, the building palette is simplified , as each type of brick appears only once, in red. After adding the parts to the 2D work area, you can change the color to any color using the Paint tool, and you can use colors that are not available for the real part. There are also more parts available in Extended mode.
ldraw.xml
The version of ldraw.xml that is installed by default is LDD 4.3.6 Brick ver 1033. The latest version, LDD 4.3.11 Brick ver 2670, is available here.

Introduction
What is Stud.io?
Bricklink Stud.io (SIO) is a freeware computer program produced by BrickLink Limited; it is available for macOS and Windows (32-bit and 64-bit), and it allows users to build models and scenes using virtual Lego bricks, in a computer-aided design like manner.
What is an IO file?
Ldd Lxf Files Downloaded
A three-dimensional model or scene created by Bricklink Stud.io (SIO); it is saved in a password protected compressed .ZIP format and contains six files:
- THUMBNAIL.PNG - a .PNG design preview
- .INFO - contains the Stud.io version and a parts count
- errorPartList.err - a parts error list
- model.ins - config settings for the instructions in XML format
- model.ldr - the LDraw file for the model
- model2.ldr - the LDraw file for the model with included part definitions
- modelv1.ldr - contains the building steps
What is a scene?
One or more models can be put into a scene, with additional floor and background, one or more light sources and a camera that determines how is the scene is viewed. An .io file can contain a single model, but it can also contain many different models, for example a self-build LEGO city.
What is this Guide to Stud.io?
Rebrickable has about 8,500 MOCs (My Own Creation), new and unique LEGO models designed by fans, which you can build once you own one or more official LEGO sets. The building instructions for these MOCs can come in the form of an .io file, and if you have no idea what to do with such a file, this guide is your answer. It will show you how to download and install the Stud.io program, how to load the .io file, and how view or generate the building guide.
This guide also contains links to useful video tutorials, a tips & tricks section and chapters on how to get help and how to connect SIO to other available programs. The guide is one of a three part series (Guide to LDD, Guide to Stud.io and Guide to Rendering) with a seperate general introduction on Virtual Building.
Ldd Lxf Files Download Software
The latest version of Bricklink Stud.io, 1.0.0_153, is available at Bricklink.com. The program comes in three versions, one for MAC OSx (OSX 10.8 or higher) and two for Microsoft Windows (32-bit and 64-bit). The 32-bit Windows version will run flawlessly on Linux under Wine. Click on the Download button for the Mac version or the alternate version links for Windows to download the desired version.
For Windows: save and run the installation program stud.io.exe (64-bit - 105.8 MB) or stud.io_32.exe (32-bit 112.6 - MB). The program will then unzip and start the installer. Make sure that the licence agreement is ticked and then click next. If needed, add a shortcut to the desktop. After clicking Install the software will be extracted. This might take quite a long time, as Stud.io contains the entire LDraw parts library and each part has to extracted. Then click Finish to end the installer. You should now have a Stud.io option in your main menu.
For Linux: open the installation program stud.io_32.exe with the Wine Windows Program Loader. Make sure Wine is fully initialized before starting the installation (run Configure Wine at least once). Then follow the procedure above.
For MAC: save and double-click the installation package stud.io.pkg (170.2 MB). Once the installer starts, follow the procedure above.
Ldd Lxf Files Download
First Steps
Each time the program is started, it connects to the Internet and checks for any updates. If a newer version is found, you have the option to install it immediately. Stud.io contains a special program (Patcher.exe) which can update both the main Stud.io program as well as the LDraw part libraries. The Menu > Help > About stud.io box shows the version number (1.0) and the current build (148).
The opening dialog (also available under Menu > Help > Welcome to Stud.io) shows four main start options:
- Start new build - Jump right in and start building from scratch
- Open file - Open an existing file from your computer
- Import LDD file (.lxf) - Continue your LEGO Digital Designer project
- Import LDraw file (.ldr/.mpd) - Continue your LDraw project
Below the start options the dialog shows the last four models, and on the right there is a series of links to help pages, the Bricklink Gallery and the Stud.io Forum. At the bottom there is a Start Tutorial button to learn about camera controls and basic features. The Tutorial is interactive and can be ended and restarted at any time.
SIO follows the common 'left-click is select' convention, while right-click & drag is used to alter the angle of the 3D view. The mouse scroll-wheel is used to zoom in and out. Holding the space bar while lift- or right-dragging allow moving of the 3D work area horizontally or vertically. In Menu > Edit > Preferences > Input you can set keyboard shortcuts for camera control, zoming and more.
Ldd Lxf Files Download Free
The bottom area of the screen contains the parts library. By pressing the tab-key this area is enlarged. The parts library can be organized into Bricklink Categories (about 70) or shapes, similar to LDD categories (about 35). Right-click to select and drag the part to its place. Parts will automatically snap to the grid and connect to other parts.
The menu bar contains common options such as File, Edit, View and Help, as well as a Model menu to add and remove steps; create, edit and release submodels; and to hide and show bricks. The toolset (only available as icons below the menu bar) consists of:
- Multiple Selection tool (V) - to select single bricks in the scene
- Clone tool (C) - to make duplicates of bricks in the scene
- Hide tool (L) - to hide bricks or models
- Collision toggle - to turn on/off collision detection
- Snap toggle - to turn on/off automatic part snapping
- Grid selector - fine, medium and coarse
- Snap to grid toggle - to turn on/off automatic grid snapping
- Render dialog - to render the current scene
The left panel contains a color selection box, a favorite colors box, a content color box and a Step list, an important part of documenting and being able to share the model. By assigning parts to steps, you can tell the story of how to build your creation.
For a more detailed description of camera control, the icon and menu bar, and building tools and palette, see Getting Help.
The Stud.io User Manual is included with the software and stored in Program Files (x86)/Stud.io/Stud.io/Manual/introduction.html. The manual is only available in English, and can be displayed by any browser.
A quick start guide of Stud.io is available at bricklink.com
If you encounter any problems, refer to the User Manual first. If needed, check the Stud.io Beta Forum in the Useful Links below. If the problem remains, post a question in our Help Forum.
Import/Export
Contrary to LDD, when you open a .io in Stud.io, the model is added to the current scene. This also applies to the Import functions. Stud.io can import files with the following extension:
- .io - Bricklink Stud.io model or scene
- .mo - unknow
- .ldr - LDraw model or scene
- .mpd - MPD files or 'Multi-Part Documents' combine several LDraw files into a single source
- .lxf - LEGO Digitial Designer model or scene
- .lxfml - LEGO eXchange Format Markup Language file (text part of .lxf)
More importantly, and arguably one of the best features of Stud.io, is the ability to import official LEGO sets. Available under Icon Bar > Open > Import official LEGO set, you can enter the set-number of any LEGO set in the Bricklink set catalog, and then import all the parts within that set directly to the 3D work area. So instead of having to search and select each individual part in the part library, you have immediate access to all the parts. The contents of a set can also be stored as a pallette.
Stud.io has the following export options:
- Export as Mosaic - Mosaick is a Bricklink tool which enables users to turn any image into a digital LEGO mosaic
- Export as LDraw - you can use this export to create files that can be imported into LDD
- Export as POV-Ray - this converts an LDraw model into a POV-Ray source. See Guide to Rendering.
- Export as Collada - Collada is a COLLAborative Design Activity for establishing an open standard digital asset schema for interactive 3D applications
- Export to Sketchfab - upload your model to Scetchfab, the world's largest platform to publish, share, and discover 3D content
Using Menu > Model > Model Info you can access a complete part list of your model, which can also be upload to a Bricklink Wanted list.
Whereas LDD can only create screenshots of a model, the Stud.io software package includes a specially compiled version of POV-Ray 3.8, to create photo-realistic images of the model or scene. The Render Image dialog (only accessable through the Icon Bar) allows you to select the final render quality, light position and image size, and where to store the final image (by default in the same folder as the model). The image can be either in .png, .jpg or .bmp format, with a specified color or transparant background. More about rendering in the Guide to Rendering.
Tutorials
- Building with Stud.io - a really good introduction to Stud.io by Bricklset's Huw Millington from November 29, 2016.
As Stud.io is relatively new (and still in beta) there are very few video tutorial yet available. These are the most informative:
- STUDIO, LEGO DIGITAL DESIGNER REPLACEMENT, Published on Dec 18, 2016, by Snooperking.
- An Introduction to Bricklink Studio, Published on Jul 21, 2017, by Blockie Talkie, who uses stud.io to build a microscale version of a house, and show some of the cool features of the software.

- Bricksmart Workshop - a decent tutorial for designing a MOC in Studio and then creating nice building instructions from it.
Conclusion
Bricklink Stud.io is a good program, and it offers several functions that LDD lacked from the very start. Most importantly the Import official LEGO set and Render Image functionality. The Step system might be a good start for creating good looking instructions. However, the program is not yet completely stable, many parts are still undefined, and some of the very cool features of LDD, such as the Flex tool, are completely absent. The good thing is that Stud.io is completely dependant on LDraw, and it seems reasonable to presume that the LDraw OpenContent License (OPL) applies to the full package. The LDraw OPL states:
If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the OC, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the OC, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
If so, the main Stud.io part database StudioPartDefinition2.txt is also OpenContent, and can be updated at will. (Be warned, the Stud.io Patcher will create a real mess if you update anything manually.) This will, at least, ensure the usability of the program even if or when Bricklink decides to abandon it.
