See my post(s) above. 😉
You can [...] *select several parts by selecting one and then holding [Ctrl] + clicking on another *[...].
After that, press [J] to group these parts or click the gear symbol → Add on an existent group. If you feel fancy, you can actually box select AND select individual parts one after another without canceling the selection.
How do I see the console to check on missing bricks?
F12 for chrome.
Are there any other way to enhance flexibility for the other flexible parts rather than electric cables?
(As in, there are less curve optimization in a cable or tube than in a power function cable piece)
If there are any, can you show me how it's done. Thank you
I added the shortcuts for the new flexible part tool.
More information here: https://www.mecabricks.com/en/forum/topic/1303
Is there a way to create folders/subfolders for grouped selections? If not, It'd be pretty helpful -- some of my projects need a little more organization on that front.
Yes of course.
copy and paste should be added so you could make a segment and them copy and paste it to make it longer. thank you.
@doofycash11
If I understood you correctly, you're looking for [D]. It will duplicate any selection (if groups are selected, they will be duplicated too) which you can move around after it.
ciao,
è scomparso nel laboratorio la finestra di destra con i colori. Come faccio a ripristinarla?
Make sure that your zoom level of the browser is set to 100%. ^^
Is there a way to attach pieces together, so I can move multiple pieces together, and is there an option to see what pieces you put in the project because I am planning a build and I need to know what I'm using so I can buy it.
Please check this video tutorial. It will answer your questions.

You can also get the list of parts from your project:

Thank you, I have figured out the multiple moving parts but is there a shortcut to add a piece directly to a certain group?
Also, thanks for the link.
btw, where is the alpha code
?
Nevermind, found it!
- Select the part(s)
- Click on the cog icon next to the target group and choose "Add"
Is there a way to see the exact parts I used? I want to turn my model into a real life thing and Bricklinking it will be a lot easier if I can know that information.
@swells2040
If you made your model publicly available, you can click on "Inventory" and even export the parts you used as Bricklink XML. I'm not sure how that works for private models though.
There's some kind of url you can type in to get your model's inventory, I don't remember it though 😕
