@asher.ramirez.norton, in the workshop, just click File and choose Save. Your model is saved on Mecabrick servers, you can not save a model as a file to your computer. If you want you can export it as a file and use it in a third part software like blender but you can not open that file in Mecabricks. The purpose of this is that Mecabricks in online, you can reach your models from any computer, just login and all your models are there, wherever you are.
I would like to select on section of the same thin but the area tool is helping.
@jacksoncarteaux
Try [W], then "Shape", "Colour" or "Combined" depending on your needs.
hello
see the Lego DC Batman Batsub, Lego Brickheadz Baby Yoda 2.0, Duplo Monster and the Lego Brickheadz Captain America
HOw do you go to the custom decoration editor again?
Does this have EV3 parts?
@EnricoRoccoP5 No. Please create another thread if needed. This one is not related to shortcuts.
I don't know if its a glitch, but the panel that has all the color options has dissapeared
Please check the forum first (this issue has been answered numerous times) and if you cannot find anything related create another post. This one is related to shortcuts.
Set your browser zoom at 100% or sometimes 90%.
Hi, is it possible to scale the "lego" objects?, Just wondering because I'm making a tiny boat and all of the sails are too big. also, how do i place stickers on the bricks? Thanks! p.s I love this program! This has changed the way i model and build Lego!
No it is not possible to scale the LEGO elements. It is always set to 1. For custom decoration, use the part manager.

Is there a shortcut to make a new group? I can't figure out how to. Thanks
are there any shortcuts for colors
@Username01, Group shortcut is J, ungroup ALT+J.
You find all shortcut keys in the first post by Scrubs on the first page of this thread(yes, this one, just go to the first page). (https://www.mecabricks.com/en/forum/topic/10/1)
@ninjagosbiggestfan87, No, why do you need that? How would you like it to work? What could be faster than moving the mouse to the palette and click?
i had a problem with the colors for a second then i figured out
I can't find my colors they do not show up on my screen
@vinny, check your browser zoom level and set it to 100% (or 90%).
Updated shortcuts to reflect latest change and upcoming animation editor.
What does "recover Autosave" really do again?
