Generating a Building Instruction?
Jens_G started this discussion in Help and Tips

Hello together,
~25 years ago I built a giant pirate ship with LEGO. This beast still exists at my parents house.
I want to move it to my house but I fear to destroy it and never be able to rebuild it.
Is there a way to generate a printable "layer-by-layer" building instruction once I finished recreating the ship in MecaBricks?

Edit: Maybe a list of all used parts too?

HI there ^^,

I guess the building instructions generator is somewhere in Scrubs huge to do list and should somehow be available someday.
As for the invotory it's already available at the bottom of the displayed models, you can even download a CSV list in addition to display it color by color.

@mathieub i am trying to do the instructions thing and when you say "As for the invotory it's already available at the bottom of the displayed models, you can even download a CSV list in addition to display it color by color." i dont know what you mean, i have been here for a cupple of days working on a lego gun and i want to do the instructions so i can bring my creation to life but i cant figure out how

Mecabricks can't generate instructions (yet). If you want a parts list, here's how:

Open your model in the workshop. Then change the part of the URL from workshop to models:

[url]https://www.mecabricks.com/en/workshop/oK2wAwMJv9k[/url]
https://www.mecabricks.com/en/models/oK2wAwMJv9k

Now click on the INVENTORY tab. You can export the part list to CSV or to BrickLink XML format if you want. You can also view the parts by color if you choose one using the blue dropdown selection menu.
