Can someone please guide me through the steps ....

Once you have LDCad working you'll need (part of) Walt White's custom part bin, the zip mentioned here should be enough I thnk. But currently that zip isn't downloadable (dead link), so if Walt is reading this: please fix that.

Afterwards it should be as easy as copying the contents of that zip into the "%appdata%\LDCad\partBin" folder, but I can't be sure as I haven't seen the contents myself.

You can also start building without those custom files but you'll have to locate ev3 parts by navigating the generic (technic) part bin as they are mixed with the other ~8000 LEGO parts Smile.

Roland - thanks - while some of the EV3 Core set parts (such as wheels , some of the beams ) are available with the default version of LDCad, many of the other major ones such as FRAMES, connectors, etc.  I am still trying to see if there is a way to import these through a Brickable type utility. ...
