LDCad is a multiplatform LDraw (virtual LEGO) editor that lets you edit LDraw model documents in real-time. You can use the app to create your own Lego models using virtual bricks. There is an option to select colors, shapes, lego models etc.

LDraw is an open standard for LEGO CAD programs that allow the user to create virtual LEGO models and scenes. You can use it to document models you have physically built, create building instructions just like LEGO, render 3D photo realistic images of your virtual models and even make animations. Unlike real LEGO bricks where you are limited by the number of parts and colors, in LDraw nothing is impossible.
