LDraw

Also known as LEGO Draw.

LDraw is an open standard for LEGO CAD programs. It has become the de facto standard in the LEGO community, to the point where essentially all virtual models are rendered with programs that use the suite of tools the standard enables. It's only real competitor is LEGO's own LEGO Digital Designer. As such, it's one of the most important resources we index in our parts directory.

Swooshable use LDraw tools to create a lot of technique examples and render individual pieces. We also use some images to illustrate key LEGO concepts, for instance the illustration that describes the LDU unit on our introductory building article.

Steve and John did their job every day, yet they never stopped to consider that their tools might be too small for the task. After all: everything is cool when you're part of a team.

How this works

It's a pretty standard site search, but I'm trying to make it smarter day by day. You can currently search for techniques, parts, sets and contributors. If you can't find what you're looking for contact me and I'll try to help you along and make this better.
