I believe that is the current iteration. I am speaking specifically of the software available from the Lego company.

I thought I would clarify so I could update the question to hopefully get some more attention.

Thanks. For the record, I am willing to consider answers that address other software as well. But I currently only have the LDD, so am completely unfamiliar to any other software out there.

I believe it should be possible in most LEGO CAD applications, but LDD being a LEGO product it's unlikely they would officially support this type of feature. That's not to say it isn't possible.

@justanboy nijineko stated that they were willing to consider other software - and seeing as Studio offers both support for, and a tool to create custom parts, and is now officially supported by TLG in place of LDD, it's on point.

There are a number of producers of custom LEGO compatible pieces, how would one add such a custom piece to the LDD software, or otherwise make use of them?
