What do I tap to see the colours?
They are immediately visited and useable. Ensure that your browser zoom is set to 100%.
how do i animate a minifig
@michael08051 Please ask your question in the appropriate thread or create a new one as this topic has nothing to do with mecabricks shortcuts. Cheers.
Can the object be made small and large? how?
A shortcut to add items to groups would be helpful. It's annoying to have to go through the process of adding a brick to a group every time you place one down.
@BrightStar, There is already a shortcut to add a group, J. Just select the parts you want to group and press J, or click on the Group icon on the left side.
Not sure if you mean something else?
is there any way of moving up because my tower is too big?
You can pan the scene using the right click of the mouse.
Okay, thanks!
WHAT DOES THE SNAPPING TOOL DO AND HOW DO U USE IT sorry caps was on im 2 lazy 2 type that up again
i cant connect with you tube
plus im at school and they have that blockjed
@mattmatt284
The snapping tool will help you sticking parts together easily. Just select a pivot point of your Object A, press S (for snapping) and choose an other pivot point of your Object B. A will be automatically snapped to B. Very helpful for placing plates or tiles on rotated surfaces (the A part will adopt the rotation) or for snapping holders. Just make sure to select the correct pivots and to move/rotate a bit after the snapping to get a nice, clean model.
thx bro alot u no the site is really complicated but easy at the same time lol
how do u message people
hello is any one on this thing anymore
@matt284
You need to know the name of the person you want to text, then click on your username (upper right corner), then "Messages" (right below the upper tool shelf) and click on "Start a conversation with...". Now enter the name of the person you wanna text and hit enter. You should be able to text him now. For emoticons (please, don't use ´em too often... 😁) see mecabricks.com/emojis
thx bro but it anint working so oh wellio
