Modular construction site LDD file

Neat! Thanks Ryan!

Top man! Well done Ryan. This should always have been the winner anyway.

Let's hope Lepin isn't reading this!

That was such a cool entry I had to vote for it

Wow Thanks

I can't open the file on my Windows PC, do you use LDD or another software ?

Woohoo, one of the "had to be" winners in my eyes.

Thanks Ryan! I voted for you! Time to start collecting the appropriate bricks for this awesome build!

Yeahhhhh

LEPIN, TLG could sue you as well because you're not supposed to generate content in LDD for manufacturing brick toys either.

... just stating cold hard legal facts, keeping my opinion to myself ....

For the record. I checked with Lego IDEAS before I shared my design. I have NOT commercialised it. I am NOT selling the file. I have it stated that if I wish to share the design for free then I am free to do so. HAPPY BUILDING EVERYONE!

Great job @ryan taggart and thanks for clarifying! I've never built anyone else's design before but I'm sorely tempted to try yours. Hope to see more from you in the future :-)

Does the file translate over to Bricklink's software as well?

Cheers! Nice if you. It's a wonderful build.

Thanks Ryan..Great Design

Thanks for sharing the instructions...that is very generous, can't wait to bricklink it!

Mad props to Ryan for sharing. Of all the Ideas projects, the construction site was one of my favorite.
Keep building!

Thanks a lot for the file. I am trying to upload it to Bricklink but getting errors:
"The following items in the XML file are invalid or do not exist in the Bricklink Catalog. Please fix the following errors:" - for more items. Has anybody else the same experience? thanks

Ryan that is awesome thank you, cant wait to build it and certainly should of been a winner.

^ @petrbasler try to run it as a custom list thru rebrickable, it shows you what is wrong and allows you to fix it

outstanding!! Thanks Ryan!! Loved this when it hit Ideas and will definitely try to piece it together for my town.

Very kind and noble effort on your part Ryan, and a beautiful build to boot!

Ryan, you are the man! Thank you so much, you totally made my day.
I voted for your project and was really mad at TLG for rejecting it, especially in the light of what they chose instead.
So glad you did this, will start sourcing the missing pieces immediately. Thanks so much again!

When I try to open it in Lego Designer I get a popup dialog that says "Bricks download failed, LDD cannot access the web server to retrieve new bricks. Do you want to run in offline mode?" I got the same error about parts when I tried uploading it to Bricklink.

@masterX244 can you point the way on Rebrickables.com? I tried to find a way to create a custom list but can't figure out where to start. Much appreciated!

Finally, thank you Ryan for sharing this awesome build!

Apologies for a dumb question - I can't find the file?

Thank you so much, Ryan! I thought this was a wonderful idea and I shall enjoy making it into reality!

I love this so much, god I wish it had won.

Is it possible for a parts list to be uploaded to bricklink or Pick A Brick immediately and give results on prices of all the parts etc?

I've gotten the parts list to load on bricklink, but how do I get the build instructions? Stud.io just shows 1 step.

Hello all. Thank you for all the kind comments. The .lxf file is available through a Facebook group I set up. Search Modular Construction Site and you'll find it. You'll need LDD to be up to date. Once you have it you can generate a brick list through LDD. I know there are more sophisticated software packages available but I like using LDD. The instructions take a long time to generate and because it's such a large model the sequencing can require referring back to the building mode to help out... What can I say, its a challenging build. Even I struggled when I first came to actually build it after over a year of tinkering on LDD. I know from a few people on the sharing group that there is someone attempting to create instructions using software called BLUEPRINT I think. The fact that I've shared it means you can do what you like, short of commercialising it. I was wondering if some people might even imagine what it would be when finished and no longer 'under construction' To reiterate, I was told by Lego IDEAS that I'm free to share the design so long as I'm not commercialising it. And thank you to Huw @ Brickset for posting this and allowing yet more of you to find it. Happy Building Everyone!

Thank you so much, fantastic

Hooray! Thank you Ryan :)

Thank you Ryan!

This is a really fatastic MOC - Thanks Ryan for sharing.

And now off for part searching. :-).

How generous of you--I loved this build on LEGO Ideas and voted for it. Thank you for being so willing to share with us; I can't wait to build it!

@ masterX244, thanks for the tip but I have never used Rebrickable and don't know how to do it ... Any other idea how to get the part list to Bricklink ? :-) Thanks
