Angles, hinges and downloads
Flippedpancakes started this discussion in Help and Tips

Hi all,
I really like the workshop and enjoy using it, but I have a few questions. The first is, is it possible to download models onto my pc? And possibly open them with other design programs such as stud.io or LDD? I am also trying to build at very specific angles, but the hinges all turn at increments of 22.5 degrees. This is making it impossible to build what I want. Is there a way around this, or an update that will eventually be released? I also wonder if/when a search function for the forum will be developed.
I really hope there are answers to my questions because this is the best digital designer I've encountered so far and I would really hate to stop using it.
Thanks for reading through,

Flip

No, this is not possible to download and store your models on your PC. Scrubs hasn't done an exporter yet to LDD and LDraw but the other way around is supported. You can import LDD or LDraw models in Mecabricks.

About the angles, if you change the grid size(Q-key) to small you can rotate any angle you want and not only at 22.5 steps. You can also change to the transform tab in the middle panel to the right and there you can specify a specific angle for any axis.

Thanks so much for the help guys!! You really saved my project.

I'm glad I could help you and that you've found Mecabricks.
