It is cool feature! I like it. It is pity I have to use older versions because I am not able to update my direct X in such way to be able to run newer version... About some bugs which I found in your SR 3D Builder (maybe they have already been removed in newer versions):

- when you wanna place half bush on axle which goes through beam or some technic connector this bush is skipping some possitions so it is very difficult to place it on axle without having part of bush inside other part or with little space between them (I hope you understand what I mean)

- it is also difficult to place parts on vertical axles (in direction of z-axis), gears and other parts don't wanna move in 1/2 or 1/4 stud steps so I solve this problem with rotating axles to horizontal possition, attaching all gears and other parts and then rotating back to vertical possition

Hi,
it is really strange, since from many, many releases no changes have been done to graphics requirements.
If the application is not working on your PC, then something goes wrong with the installation.
- Try delete or rename the c:\lDraw folder and all its subfolders. Mind to save model you may have saved there!
- Reinstall the whole application downloading version 0.5.6.11 and apply version 0.5.6.12 quick fix
- Ensure you follow the link on my application download page about directx installation (this is a MUST)
- Start the application and wait for part list rebuilding
- Restart the application. Everything should be OK
- FEEDBACK!!

To fix problem point 1, turn on the "use dense connection" feature on the main button list (near the end of the list). This allow easy placement of these part
Problem point 2 should already be fixed

Great, now I am able to use version 0.5.6.11. I reinstalled SR Builder and installed lDraw to another folder with renaming old one (so I have it at two different places on my disk - one for SR Builder and other for LPub and other applycations) and it works. I also tried to fix my problem with half bushes with turning on dense connection and it works same as i desribed above - I was not able to put it simply on its place but I think I can manage it using some tricks... And I plan to try solution for second problem later.

Thank you for advices
