Please use another thread to request for some help. This one is supposed to be for shortcuts.
Please also attach a screenshot and name the parts that you have issues with.

No, rendering mode is only to set the parameters of the scene and render. All tools are disabled here.

Make sure your browser scale is set to 100%

The side panel where all of the light, brick color settings etc. is gone. Plz help.

To quote Scrubs, "Make sure your browser scale is set to 100%" 😉
Also, if you're using a phone, the workshop won't work.

oh rip thanks I thought it was 110% but it was 100%

how do you group a model

@16thomaste, select the parts you want to group and press J, or click the group icon in the left bar.

How to bend a minifigure

Can you clarify? If you mean bend the pieces themselves, you can't.

@ArmoredBricks How to bend Hip and body without bending legs

@Maash
If you want to rotate (?) the hip and upper body only, you need to select both, then click on one of the hip's leg connection pivots; hit [M] to switch from translation to rotation.

@NGCHunter2 thanks

You cannot. What is the issue with it? Studio lighting reproduces exactly the look of the older version.

@Scrubs mecabricks rendering quality is not good enough in the new version
