@ModiBricks: Change the zoom of the browser until you see the color palette. You may want to refresh the page multiple times.
@criswin7: Clarify by "part size". All of the parts are measured in millimeters. Is there a brick you want the dimensions of?
@darthelmo: Select the brick you want to recolor, and then click on the new color you want to color the brick.

So i was working on a model today and my gui with the colouring and changing the height of a figure and stuff dissapeared, how do i fix this?

how can i add multiple object to a group ?

hope got reply soon

To select multiple objects:

  1. Keyboard & Mouse: [CTRL]+Click
  2. Selection tools (Top Left icon looks like mouse), choose your weapon (Keyboard shortcut [W])
  3. Box Select (Keyboard shortcut [B])
  4. [CTRL]+Click and/or [SHIFT]+Click on parts in the Graph Tab

To group selected objects:

  1. Keyboard & Mouse: Keyboard shortcut [J]
  2. Group tool on left toolbar (looks like a folder with arrow in)
  3. Drag parts in graph view to an already created group (works for nesting groups too)

como encuentro las piezas
en la fila de buscar

How do I merge a bunch of pieces, into 1 whole piece?

You can't

How do I combine a bunch of parts, into 1 whole piece?

Sorry. Accidentaly posted multiple comments

Again, you can’t

Alright, well thanks for the reply.

Hi Slenderkillerzz-

Cakery is right.. you can't make new part out of multiple parts... however there is a way for those parts to act like they're stuck together if it helps.

Start by grouping the parts It's the icon that looks like a folder with an arrow pointing in or use keyboard shortcut J. Then click on the lock icon in the Graph tab for that group. Now when you click on one of these parts, they will all be selected and move together. Again, this doesn't merge the parts together to make one part, but they do stay together.

Allright, thanks.

Can we scale objects?

Nope... scaling is not possible in Mecabricks.

hello mecabricks i need to figure out how to shrink/grow objects, I just can't figure out how

This is not possible in the Mecabricks workshop.

Hello, can you go on a set you made and get into a menu to buy the bricks you need?
