It can be a big challenge to create a design for a large object. Are there techniques or tools to simplify this, and to help estimate numbers of blocks required?

If you have a 3D model of the real world object, you could check out this question: bricks.stackexchange.com/questions/3074/…– hmatt1Apr 7, 2014 at 18:37

Lego Digital Designer (~140mb, Mac and PC) is quite useful for creating 3D designs. I haven't personally used it that much but it is quite a powerful tool. It will tell you the number of bricks used in a model as well.
At a pinch, MS Paint (pixel-based), Google Sketchup (find some templates for bricks) and Minecraft could even be used for planing builds.

1This doesn't seem to answer the question as asked. Or explain what advantage LDD has? Oct 26, 2011 at 22:24
