Virtual building is a form of 3D CAD (Computer-Aided Design). Lets first look at some history and define some terms. It serves as a general inroduction to a three part series: Guide to LEGO Digital Designer, Guide to Stud.io and Guide to Rendering. This help page will explain the background behind virtual building and what software you need to use. These files contain virtual models, and you need special software to view and build these models. However, many other MOCs have their instructions in other formats: Many Rebrickable MOCs have instructions in the form of a PDF file, that contains a series of photographs showing different stages of building. All of that can be done on almost any computer, and almost any operating system. Besides the obvious more bricks, more colors, and easy searching a virtual model can be used to generate building instructions, and it can be rendered, in other words, the model can be used to create photo-realistic images. Surely, it is much more fun to build with real bricks, but virtual building has several advantages. Virtual building means building a LEGO model on a computer, using virtual LEGO bricks. Here's the Su-7IG variable geometry of the Su-7B, which was demonstrated during the May Day air parade in 1968.Did you ever wish you had more LEGO Bricks? Or wish you had a certain LEGO brick in another color? Did you ever wish you could instantly find a particular LEGO brick? If so, you should really try virtual building.

So, can we backport it to some more one-of-a-kind projects? Sure. Su-9 Fishpot-A, a very straightforward fork of the new canopy design. Part of the challenge was to backport the 3b changes to the other stovepipes, like its direct system the Su-9 Fishpot PVO interceptor. Here's a further development - the 3d, which reversed the canopy and extended it to the right-ish shape.

Unfortunately this will need more work to adopt onto the Su-17 VG-Fitter design. which features the Sukhoi quad-petal airbrakes on the tail. Version 3b - this one has a new, cleaner forward canopy, making it more well put together. Version 3a - the original after the resize.

Okay, so in the previous post I mentioned that the Sukhoi stovepipes (Su-7B/9/11/17) all received a rescaling to make it work better.
