yeah did that help
the color chart on my account dosnt show up HELP
@elliot0211 Is it only the color chart or also the group list? Make sure your browser is set to 100% zoom, at other zoom levels the right hand field of workshop can disappear!
I cant get my colors or any of the right side of the screens that shows the groups and colors on it. did i press something or how do i get it back?

@Vetter83, set your browser zoom level to 100%(Ctrl+mouse scroll or change in your browser menu). That will probably make the right side appear again.
is there a way not to get all these notifications on these forums
No, that's not possible at all. You get all notifications at the moment... including a new notification notifying you that I've replied to your post 😄
hahahaha lol thx bro u got this notification too
Happy to see the save shortcut. Will need to start using it ASAP. Lost about an hours work when the site froze then rebooted on me. Autosave would be a nice feature to add.
Hello,
This is already existing. Go in the file menu and select "Recover Autosave".
It only works the next time you open your browser (reload the workshop page). If you reload it multiple times, it will be overwritten by an empty scene.
can we get a "G" toggeling the Ground plane maybe? 😃 and maybe if possible a finer grid overlay, something less visible on top of the normal grid size would be cool to toggle maybe sometimes precision thingy's. it would be cool to be able to actually see the finer transformation grid.
also, a way to control C (copy) a selection would be nice to have, to be able to copy a selection of bricks and paste from one workshop window to a new design in another workshop window, if possible.
@supcrow, You can toolge the grid size with Q(small, medium and large), I agree, it would be nice to actually see the small grid size when ground is displayed.
About ctrl+c to another workshop, there is a way to do this, but it requires you save a model. Make your selection of the parts you want to copy, invert the selection (I), press delete to remove all parts you don't want to copy, save as a new model. Now you can import you new saved model with the parts you selected to copy into any other mecabricks model.
Maybe not as easy as ctrl+c/ctrl+v but it works...
Also agree that "G" would be a good shortcut to toggle the ground on and off! 👍
thanks for the tips.
I know that you can show everything hidden with ALT H. But is there a way to only unhide a Single hidden group?
@mneilson1707, Yes! If you click on the gear in the group panel for the specific group and at the bottom of the menu choose "Show all" you will show everything in that specific group.
