No copy and paste. The workflow is to import this other model inside your scene.

Every time I go onto Mecabricks, the precision is automatically reset to 3. I would like it to be set to 10. Can you set a precision?

Hello.
How to pan the view? In blender i can use Shift+MMB to do so.

Its either left mouse button or right mouse button.

how do i find my color pallet my whole right side of the screen disappeared.

don't use split screen for mecabricks.

you can but there's a certain amount that will make it not messed up

does that answer your question?

Legoman7 Save, and refreshing shall do the trick.

that might work

where is spilt screen mode?
also refreshing has not worked
i have no idea what happen the screen is black where the color bar should be.

Split screen? What device do you use?

Check your browser zoom level, depending on what browser you are using it may be a different zoom level but it should work for most at 80-120% and in between there, just try and canhe it and see if your right panel appeares?

How do you add minifigure legs torsos ect. in??? like adding in new legs for the ninjago legacy ninja

May you elaborate?

like adding in new legs and torsos for the lego ninjago 2019 legacy sets

You will need to master the power of creating custom prints. You can find that here:
https://mecabricks.com/en/forum/category/8
https://mecabricks.com/en/forum/topic/1582
After that, you shall submit them to the database (for approval)
Then it will become an official print
If you're talking about new pieces in terms of molds, well, sorry, can't do anything about that.

thank you

How do you change the size of objects, or can you even do so?

@TwistenX, you can only change size of flexible parts like tubes etc. Otherwise the bricks are as solid as in real life!

@Sealund Thanks! I have another question, how do you move your camera around? (Besides changing view perspectives and zooming in and out. I mean, just like, shifting it over. I need this because it's very difficult to build without it, and if it doesn't exist, please recommend it to @Scrubs for me.)

Right Mouse Key, I believe, to shift the camera around.
