SR 3D Builder

SR 3D Builder is one of the most advanced Lego PC CAD software programs that exist out there. With it you are able to build almost anything you can imagine. The only limit is your own imagination!

The user interface is user-friendly and has six main sections. The first one is the menu bar which operates like a usual menu bar and therefore, contains file system, configuration and application specific options. The second section is the button toolbox where you can find the most used shortcuts that you can use to build your Lego models, such as mirror building, adding a building step and so on. The part/color toolbox is the most used part of the interface and this is the place from which you can choose the type of part you want to use and the color you would like it to have (solid color, transparent, special effects). In the model space, you are able to see the model you have created in 3D. The information bar will give you details about what you are doing like showing you the progress you have made. Finally, the displacement caddy, also known as D-Caddy, has the sole purpose of helping you in quick part positioning and it will help you rotate the part(s) or the whole model around an axle.

One of the nice features that SR 3D Builder has is the Connection Solver. This will help you see connections between two parts by displaying a small pink pyramid when the mouse is over a suitable contact surface.

Another nice feature that this software application can provide you with is the Animation Console. This will permit you to create and animate your models, so that you can see how they would actually walk or move.

SR 3D Builder is an impressive software program that allows users to easily create and animate 3D Lego models, no matter how experienced they might be.
