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.

My studio pops up every time it starts, unable to create or load.

I uninstalled and reinstalled the software, but it still couldn't solve the
problem. May I ask which professional knows how to handle it?

I am often wanting to build lego technic bikes but despite having a pretty powerful
pc (Ryzen 5 3600, RTX 2060? 16GB@3200MHz) the single fact of selecting a wheel
ot a tire freezes my pc for 5-10 seconds
anyone knows how to fix performance ?

So I made a Google Chrome extension to make packing orders a tad easier, it adds
a checkbox to each item on an order that when clicked, will strikethrough and
grey-out the entry, it also has optional settings to highlight New parts and
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.
