Does anybody play around with LEGO CAD software?
Years, decades (!) ago I tried LDraw and found that it completely took all the fun out of Lego, was really cumbersome, and unstable.
This time around there was a practical reason for using software in that I need to order a bunch of pieces and I didn't really know what specifically, and the quantities. And because it takes a Lego like six weeks to ship bricks I want to get it right. So I downloaded Bricklink studios to see if it could help with that.
It's pretty slick. It still isn't exactly fun and even with a 27-in monitor I find it hard to see what I'm doing, but I had a basic idea what I wanted to make and it took me a little time to come up with a design and piece list.
