BrickLink Discussion Forum

When I import a .ldr file into BrickLink, all of the bricks are placed perfectly
sound, except for printed bricks. Even when the .dat item ID matches, in this
case (3069p02.dat), it still doesn't convert the file type to the actual
brick. Even if the brick exists in Bricklink, such as the 3069p02 piece, it won't
budge unless I manually change it. However, I also noticed that occasionally,
but not with this example, bricks such as 3068pb0191 will appear ONLY IF I change
the .dat file name from "3068pb0191" to "3068bpb0191". However,
I would like all of the bricks to be recognized in the Studio software. Any ideas?
And no, manual brick switches are not an option here.

Issue on the collada export.

Topic:

Hello I am trying to export COLLADA files from Studio 2.0, to import them on
3dsmax and I have this issue.
Some of the bricks are not on the correct position, they seem to have lots of
gaps.
I have been dealing with this problem since the past year, and I hoped it will
be fixed by now, but unfortunately, it remain unsolved.

Could you please advise on this matter?

I know that there is a dedicated Stud.io forum but it's just a quick question
to figure out whether I'm sane or not. Is it just me, or were there a
lot of Minifigure legs removed from the selection of pieces on Stud.io? I was
sure there used to be more but I could be wrong. One particular piece I was fairly
certain was there that no longer is is:

970cf00pb03 Hips and Animal Legs with Black Fur Pattern
Parts: Minifigure, Legs, Modified, Decorated {Sand Blue}

Has anyone else noticed this or am I just insane?

Studio does support the HUB and Controller, but I am puzzled why the motor and
LED's have not been added. I have sent requests over the past 2 years to
get it done but no luck. I did create my own motor in Part Designer and it works
great with Studio, but gets rejected when importing into ReBrickable.

My designs include the 88005 light, again created using Part Designer, but that
gets rejected by Stud.io - as in the price price doesn't get updated or exported
and hyperlinking to Bricklink fails.

Feature Request

Viewed:

76 times

Topic:

I'm not sure if this is the right place or even possible, but I'd
like to request some features for future updates which I think is pretty simple
and quite crucial for instruction making.

1. Arrow borders - Would be great to be able to have borders for arrows as per
Lego instructions

2. Groups - This will be quite useful for workflows. It is not the same as submodels
in that submodels will be blown up in instructions as separate steps but Grouping
is mainly for viewport modelling. We can group parts in specific areas for easy
isolation to work on, but they do not show up as a submodel in instructions.
It's primarily for working in the viewport during the design process.

3. Isolate/unisolate - Some of you will know by now where I'm coming from
and what my workflow is like. I'm a 3ds max user and having the option to
isolate and unisolate parts is very useful especially for complex projects. The
current Hide tool only allows you to hide specific objects and then unhide all
of them later. While this is useful, it would be easier to be able to isolate
groups to work on them, then unisolate them. Then move on to other another group
or specific areas. It ties in to the Group function. Imagine being able to select
a Group, isolate them, modify, then unisolate then, then move on to another Group.

With the current Hide/unhide workflow, you will have to reselect parts to hide
again which can be tedious. Again, while I understand submodels work almost the
same way, submodels are technically separate micro-builds in the instructions
which should be able to hold it's form before attaching them to the main
model, but that is not always the case as some designs require building ON the
main model and these will end up having hidden layers of pieces underneath which
can be difficult to select and modify later on. If they can be grouped together
and isolated then it will improve the workflow a lot.

4. Option to insert rotation as separate steps, along with rotation arrows. It's
not like the flip symbol but it's used to show that certain pieces needs
to be rotated before moving on such as hinges.

Sorry if this is a useless post but I just want to share some ideas that could
improve the software. Even if it doesn't get implemented, at least I've
put it out there for consideration.

Interesting AI Lego note

Viewed:

78 times

Topic:

Earlier today, I randomly decided to ask AI to create a Ninjago set with the
prompt
"choose a location from the Lego Ninjago universe and create a description
of a custom lego set of that location"
Now, I did this many months ago when Copilot, GPT, and other AI services were
becoming more well known-but could not get the AI to give me a satisfactory set.
No matter what prompt I put after, whether it be "Choose a location not done
before" or "Don't just reuse set descriptions" it wouldn't
listen to me and kept giving me things like "Ghost Attack: The Caves of Despair"
Now, however...
I gave the AI the same prompt, and on first attempt it gave me a generic entry
called "Lego Ninjago Monastery: Guardians of the Golden Weapons"
I then asked it "Can you choose a location not done before as an actual Lego
set", remembering what had happened last time I did that and kinda laughing
inside.
What it gave me surprised me, however. Quote,
Certainly! Let's explore a unique and uncharted location from the **Ninjago
universe** and create an exciting LEGO set:

---

# LEGO Ninjago: **The Crystal Caves of Lumina**

## Set Description:
**Set Number:** 71788
**Name:** Crystal Caves of Lumina
**Piece Count:** 1,345 pieces
**Ages:** 9 and up
**Minifigures:** Lumina (Crystal Guardian), Cole, and Crystal Miners
**Price:** $99.99 USD

## Features:
1. **Entrance to the Crystal Caves:**
- A large, translucent crystal archway leading into the mysterious caves.
- Lumina stands guard, holding her staff adorned with glowing crystals.
- Hidden mechanisms to open the archway and reveal the secrets within.

2. **Glowing Crystals and Stalactites:**
- Build intricate stalactites using transparent blue and purple elements.
- Arrange glowing crystals (made from translucent bricks) throughout the cave.
- Some crystals emit a soft light when pressed, revealing hidden paths.

3. **Crystal Mining Station:**
- A small mining station where Cole and the Crystal Miners extract luminescent
crystals.
- Conveyor belts, mining carts, and a crystal analyzer.
- A play feature that allows the miners to "drill" into the cave walls.

4. **Lumina's Chamber:**
- A central chamber with a crystal pedestal.
- Place Lumina on the pedestal to activate her elemental powers.
- Spin the pedestal to create a dazzling light show.

5. **Crystal Creatures:**
- Crystal bats, spiders, and scorpions lurking in the shadows.
- Use Cole's pickaxe to fend them off and collect rare crystals.

6. **Minifigures:**
- **Lumina (Crystal Guardian)**: Wears a flowing robe with intricate crystal
patterns.
- **Cole**: Equipped with a miner's helmet, pickaxe, and crystal backpack.
- **Crystal Miners**: Two hardworking miners in protective gear.

## Play Scenarios:
- **Crystal Quest**: Help Cole and Lumina uncover the ancient secrets hidden
within the caves.
- **Crystal Mining Adventure**: Load the mining cart, transport crystals, and
avoid the crystal creatures.
- **Guardian's Duty**: Lumina protects the mystical crystals from intruders.

## Bonus: **Exclusive Crystal Dragon Minifigure** included as a rare collectible!

The LEGO Ninjago Crystal Caves of Lumina set invites builders to explore the
magical underground world, discover glowing treasures, and unravel the mysteries
of Lumina's elemental powers. Get ready for an adventure like never before!
🧱💎

I honestly am surprised at the AI's use of such a random character-it has
improved much on the old searches from months ago. Kinda scary, but pretty cool,
too.

So I made a Google Chrome extension to make packing orders a tad easier, it adds

Used Parts, as well as highlighting Quantity greater than 1. Also works to inventory
received orders.

On top of that, I also added a search field to the My Collection page to search
through your collection (why isn't there one already??).

And lastly, tracking numbers on the order page now have hyperlinks to view tracking
data on the USPS website (sorry international users, haven't made a way to
select other services yet).

This extension was made for myself, but I thought it was pretty neat, so I decided
to publish it, hopefully someone else can get some utility out of it. And if
anyone thinks of any additional features, feel free to reach out, I really enjoy
working on projects like this, so I don't mind working on it further.

BLS Manager

Topic:

Hello,

I have recently ran across a link on here for BLS Manager software. I have
downloaded it and trying to figure out all the features. Can anyone recommend
any video or instructional links that may help with learning some of the ins
and outs. Specifically can you download and retain ORDERS PLACED and not just
orders received.

Any other software that anyone recommends would be a great help as well.
Currently I have only been using the new version of Brickstock, now called Brickstore
I believe.

Thanks,
Marty

Bricklink Studio on Mac 14.2

Viewed:

Topic:

Studio 2.0 opens with a dialog box about upgrading to 2.23 and immediately becomes
unresponsive. I have to force-quit the program.

Studio 2.23 is extremely buggy. It is sporadic in how it responds to the mouse-sometimes
it allows me to move a piece, sometimes it is unresponsive. Sometimes the pieces
refuse to snap to the grid and end up sitting between two positions. If I enter
camera pivot mode (right click), it will NOT exit camera-pivot and I have to
force-quit the program.

Please let me know when either of these options are functioning again on Mac.
I would love to create some builds with my son. Thank you.

How do I export my Studio files to Maya 2024?

So, recently I was doing my own room in Autodesk Maya 2024 for my 3D Modelling
prelims for college and I thought of adding a LEGO car for my room... only for
my teacher to say that every item MUST be made by us and not exported.

But that's not the topic I'm discussing. I'm talking about how would
I export a Studio file to Autodesk Maya 2024. Cuz when I exported it as a .dae
file (Collada file,) every part were separated parts. I used the combine tool,
but it will take ages to combine to the point where my CPU reaches 105°C! So
how would I export it as one object?

Software to convert a 3D Model to LEGO

Viewed:

56 times

Topic:

Hello,

my name is Lorenzo and I'm a 23 y/o CS student and spare time programmer.
In the last few months I've developed a software capable of converting a
3D model to a constructible and stable LEGO construction (supported model formats
are .gltf/.glb (extendable); very diffused in 3D modeling software).

The software runs locally and is provided with an UI, but it's easily convertible
to a headless software that can potentially run on a server (for a cloud-based
approach). It's a C++ software that heavily relies on NVIDIA GPU (CUDA) to
perform the conversion; with some work, can be extended to AMD GPU.

Is it something that can be of your interest?
e.g. it could be integrated to BrickLink Studio.

Do you have the contact of someone from LEGO I can reach out to either showcase
this software or ask for a grant for publishing it and use the LEGO brand?
As I'm not sure I can freely use it now.

Best regards,
thank you,

Suggestion: Mustard, Pizza or Cheese Macaroni

Viewed:

109 times

Topic:

I just wanted to write a post about how tasty Maille's original dijon mustard
is.

Unfortunately, being originally coded in 1747, the forum doesn't provide
an easy way to link to a specific brand or style of mustard except for ugly
links like:

https://maille.com/fr/e-boutique/moutardes/moutarde-de-dijon-originale-215g/

So, my suggestion is to add a mustard macro in the forum like the ones
we have for catalog items:

[MU=maille001]

It would include a picture of the product, a list of ingredients, nutrition facts,
local and online retailers, customer reviews, suggested recipes, etc.

The link should also be localized to the viewer's current location. For example,
members registered in the USA should be linked to Maille's U.S. website:

https://us.maille.com/collections/maille-originale/products/dijon-originale-mustard

A similar thing could be implemented for pizza or cheese, facilitating discussion
of these topics.

I realize that BrickLink's less than thirty employees are probably very busy
and have better things to do with their time, but this is an extremely important
feature and should be implemented immediately. BrickLink is frankly unusable
without it.

Merci beaucoup !

Stud.io incorrect part design (11477)

Viewed:

42 times

Topic:

Hello,

I am trying to make to make a moc in Studio and I want to used a curved slope
without any print designs on it. The piece in question I want to use is part
11477 (the same piece used in the 2023 Star Wars 501st battle pack). However,
the design it shows for this in Studio isn't curved, but instead is somewhat
"cornered." I have included an image below to show what I mean

On the right it shows part 11477 with a print on it. This is the correct shape
for the piece I am looking for, however I do not want the print on it. On the
left is also part 11477 but without the print. For some reason though the shape
is incorrect. It is not curved like the piece on the right. Why is this?

I have never had this issue before. Out of curiosity I tried to open some of
my older projects that also used part 11477 without the print and lo and behold,
the piece design was no longer curved but somewhat "cornered."

I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Stud.io but that didn't manage to work.
I also tried saving the piece from the bricklink website so I could see if it
would turn up in my saved parts in Studio but that did not fix the problem.

Is anyone else running into this issue? Are there any fixes?

I took some time to develop an app to make picking orders easier. The first obvious

The app includes the familiar filtering options found on Bricklink and, at the

the Drive Thru, changing the order status, and archiving an order.

The app is completely free and open source!

You can download it here:

Windows 7 to 10! Done! Yay! CONTEST ;-)

Topic:

Eventually and after 6+ months of preparation and testing, and a Stack Overflow
question of a really tough problem... this PC's migrated (few days ago) on
Windows 10!

Hopefully they'll cut us some slack... because Windows 10 support is supposed
to end in 2025 - that's almost next year

Fun fact, I still have a VM with the exact initial Windows XP I used when I registered
BrickLink

To share this event, I'm making a casual contest on forum: find the answer
and get 50€ of FREE order + its up to 500g FREE shipping, worldwide!

Double question:

* Which was the name of the very first Application (apart Windows itself,
D'oh) installed on my now obsolete PC Windows 7?

* As more than one person may find the name, please also give the date
(day/month if possible, or clearly differentiating) when this application
was installed in 2014...

Contest's opened from now on, until it closes on BrickLink EST date: Saturday,
Dec 23, 2023 00:00 EST

It's a bit more than 2 days only.

Rules (TL;DR):
* replies must be public, posted on Forum only - I may or not reply or comment
the posts
* 1 (ONE) reply per BrickLink member. You can cancel one/some and post a new.
But more than 1 will exclude all your replies
* winner is the one to give the correct application name, and (if few have) the
closest installation date (measure in days to this specific date)
* an application name, even a bit approximative is required: it shouldn't
consist of or contain abbreviation(s)
* the installation date should be CLEARLY differentiating day/month, if not like
03/04, I'll interpret it as day/month (yeah, French style)
* as a proof, I will post the screen copy of the Windows settings showing the
first installed apps in chronological order, showing the dates of course
* the price is an order credit in our shop for 50€ + 500g shipping cost to your
Country
* sorry, but no member's account with 0 (ZERO) Feedback Profile, or double
account (if we can be aware of)
* you will have to use our "Invoice me manually" Shipping Method so I
can credit the amount, and mention the contest in message so I know it's
you
* no heavy things like Baseplates, Duplo, Instructions..., this is supposed to
be casual - and avoid 100+ lots for the same reason
* you're of course welcome to order for more, in this case I'll credit
you the 50€ + 500g shipping price to your Country
* if your order's below the offered price, we will NOT send a payment of
the difference (it's like a Coupon if you wish)
* if your order's above, we may offer you the difference, or have to invoice
you the extra (depending multiple factors)...
* because contest will end before Xmas and we're overloaded, please don't
expect a quick shipping, especially for high number of lots
* tracking may or may not be provided or available depending too many factors
like Country, size, weight...

Note: Admins, Mods and even Pizza fans are (gladly!) accepted (but adults - which
may exclude some Pizza fans, LOL...)
See how I'm happy!

Good luck.

order and give a full refund."

I ask: "Can I ask for the reason?"

Buyer replies: "Money is a bit tight at the moment."

Ofcourse I will cancel with a full refund, but pretty odd situation...
