Here is a simple cube that I created with some hinge plates. Not sure how I might use this, will probably try some different variations.
Pieces that make up the model, just 3 unique parts. Arranged as they should be assembled.
Parts put together except for one connection.
Completed cube.
Using the digital designer (DD), I created a modified version of my wasalisk model.
This is not as nice as the first version since the designer does not have as many different pieces and colors available. The limitation seems to be because you can purchase your creations, so you can only use pieces that they have available. This version would cost $3.60.
I downloaded the LEGO Digital Designer today and started to play around with it.
I tried to create some of my models in it, but it is rather limited on the pieces and colors available.
It also took me some time to figure out how to orient pieces the way I wanted them. You have to select a piece and "bind" it to the mouse so as you move the mouse around the piece follows it. Four arrows will appear, like in the following screen shot.
When the piece has the four arrows, you can use the arrows on the keyboard (apparently not the numberpad ones though) to rotate the piece in that direction. I could not find this in the help file. I originally thought the arrows represented the fact that you could move the piece in those directions, not that using the keyboard keys would do something.
