Laying Tracks
This is what I use to lay my tracks. Attach the blue piece to your cross axle piece. Click on the green piece one time, drag it down until the wheel barely clears the tread piece. Click the select all icon, drag the entire model over the tread until it lines up. After that, it is just a matter of duplicating treads until you reach a gear. Then use the hinge tool and "bend" the links around the gears. Takes a bit of practice, but once you get it, it goes pretty fast. Do not rely on the number of treads that LDD requires, the program does not account for tightness or looseness in the chain links. The links sometimes won't get really close to some gears, you just have to fudge it a bit. I saved the "track laying helper" as a file so that I can import it quickly into a model. Hope this helps. Any probs just ask.
