If you agree to the above disclaimer, read below how to read how to activate LU mode. And naturally, bricks used in LU-mode are not possible to buy through DesignByMe or Pick-A-Brick. There is no support at all and you use it fully at your own risk. Lego is making LU-mode available to us LDD fans as-is. Since LU-mode is NOT intended for the general public there may be flaws in the functionality and problems with incorrect brick geometry. Please be aware that Lego takes NO responsibility whatsoever for LU-mode. Please post any questions about LU-mode in this thread. The new tools should be fairly intuitive to use. By holding the mouse pointer over a color, a sub-menu will also expand showing all the sub-colors. Color palette tool – allows you to select any color. Color picker tool, allows you to pick a color from any other brick in the scene (“scene” is LDD-lingo for the area on screen where you place the bricks and build your models) Decoration tool, allows you to “paint” decoration on those bricks that will allow it. There is a slightly different user interface in LU-mode with some additional tools. TIP: If you already have a model made in another mode and want to convert it to LU-mode, use the View > New Themes > Lego Universe

LU-mode will show up as a new tab in the welcome screen. With LU-mode you get access to all the 1400+ bricks in LDD. All these additional bricks have actually been available for quite some time in LDD for designers of Lego Universe through something called Lego Universe Mode.Īfter a fruitful dialogue with the LDD development team at Lego, access to LU-mode is now available to all LDD fans. LU Mode - More bricks and better overviewĪs you may know, there are a lot more bricks in the LDD database installed on your computer than you could actually see in the normal DesignByMe/Mindstorm/Creator mode. Made available by Lego especially for the fan community! This is a long post, but if you interested in LDD, read to the end - it's all good stuff: OLD post below.all the information below is not relevant anymore. This mode is available out of the box, so there is nothing you need to "activate" any longer. This information has been superseeded by the new LDD Extended Mode
