You can rotate the model and the surrounding space with Left Mouse key (I think).
Thanks! I knew that if you use the arrow keys while managing a part, it will rotate it by 45 degrees. But now, I know that the left and right arrow actually do things when a part isn't selected!
How do you measure the actual dimensions (the ones that the model would have in real life i mean) (lenght, height, depth) of a brick or the enitire project?
Is there a way I can select a part of the model (a tower) and paste it somewhere else?
yes, you highlight pieces you want to copy then press D and it makes copy.
Then if you want to S snap to certain part then find snap point on copy you want to snap from and find snap point at part of tower then press on it with mouse.
There is kind of a way to copy and paste but you need to know how to select an area delete and spawn it back kind of so basically you press B which is to select and area, when you do it on the top of you screen it should say something like selecting area so click the left key on your mouse and drag it, there should be a square that square would tell you the area that your gonna copy and paste but you have to select it after you select what you wanna select let go and it would be like a normal block but with a lot of blocks instead it has the same commands as a normal block like duplicating or painting or deleting; sorry if I explained wrong but that's what I do. @xlTacolx and @Scrubs whenever somebody asks the question again you can just get it from here; If I even explained it right.
I really need help.

how to delete brick?
With the delete key.
i have keyboard from apple and I don't have delete key
@LegoBuilderWojtek What do you use to delete a text character on your keyboard? Use the same key... I develop on MacOs as well.
i don't know, I didn't use it before but I now don't need help, I found it. It was under clone button (I uses clone button about 100 times and I didn't see it XD)
is it possible to shift-click more than one item?
Ctrl(cmd) + Click
Thx!
hey scrubs i was wondering how do i extend the size of a block without getting or dupping it?
You can't.
