Product Description:

Bricksmith allows you to make virtual Lego models and admire them in all three dimensions. It's an especially useful tool for creating instructions for one's Lego creations.

Bricksmith offers thousands of parts and dozens of colors. You'll have the ability to create steps and submodels for intricate creations.

This program is based on LDraw, a fan effort to model Lego bricks in 3D. Converters are available to feed your creations into a 3D raytracer for beautiful renderings.

What's new in this version:

New Features

  • Supports step rotations
  • Streamlined Step Display UI
  • Moved file outline on to the main window
  • Improved line appearance
  • Toolbar buttons for Part Browser, Inspector, and Colors

Bugs Fixed

  • Fixed MLCad/LDraw spec compatibility issue which caused files containing multiple submodels to not render correctly in MLCad. (All model names are now internally forced to end in .ldr; old files will be automatically fixed as they are opened.)
  • LDraw/ldconfig.ldr is now read; previously Bricksmith would only refer to an internal copy
  • Renaming a submodel also renames all references to it
  • Duplicating models adds a "copy X" suffix

A totally wonderful programme for all Legoists. Design and construct your own creations and share them with others. Too much fun for teens and pre-teens. You really need to be a sad old adult to totally appreciate this programme.
