There’s no SDK.  You can’t modify the application (neither legally nor practically).

FYI, the dedicated forum for Studio and PartDesigner is https://forum.bricklink.com/
(hover over the red Studio icon on every page, then click “Studio Forum”).

Please search the forum for your question before posting a new one (the search
box is in the very dark grey banner).

You shouldn't quit because of this. The forum is not a place for religion
and for politics. If you around years ago the were heated debates and some very
nasty things posted without religion or politics. Imagine what the forum would
be if those were allowed.
While I hate censorship, having studied Nazi Germany and the USSR, it is not
really censorship to not allow these subjects (Forum fights). We cannot post
nude pictures of people nor can we use all the fun descriptive words we all know,
use, and understand. I look more of what is not allowed as leaving more relevant
topics germane to Lego and or the personalities of those posting and reading.
Besides, I do not want to show everyone that disagrees with my views on these
subjects how wrong they are.

I didn't, even if I don't share your enthousiasm.
I'm sorry you quit.

On the other side, IMHO, I think religion (like sexuality) is your private domain,
your private choices.

I'm not fan of proselitism - but I do recommend BrickStore ha ha - or
someone trying to "sell" me his own faith, or again, sexuality.

I think I wrote you about this and your choice of name and logo, which could
have participated to your least favorite position, plus maybe this post you're
talking about but that I didn't read (was cancelled before I came).

All that said, you shouldn't leave for this, IMHO again.

Good luck!

a good rule of thumb regarding religion in general is to treat it as your private
parts: don't show it in public unless you're in the correct forum, don't
impose it on others and stop thinking the world is being run by it

I feel like the storyline was a bit forced. Though it really did make good characters.

I don't mean to rag on it. They set the rules of the game and then put on
a fun show.

It gave me a similar feeling that I got from Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. They
waited SO long to continue the story and then drop little bits of untold history
that make me resentful that they didn't make the movies in the middle.

in at normal altitude and probably go undetected by the missile systems and enemy

But if they used F-22s then the movie would be about the Air Force and not the
Navy - I'm assuming the parameters of the mission required launching from
a carrier instead of an airbase.

it.

  Had a wonderful Father's Day, mostly because it was also my son's birthday:

My son had booked theatre tickets for us to the Top Gun, Maverick movie
at a very unique theatre, with a fabulous dinner and libations served before
and during the showing. Not bad

We also visited the Oregon coast (razor clam season) and other wondrous places
up here. It was a good-to-be-alive type of time

Hope you got your Father's day gifts in time.

Bless you Dads. Stay strong!

Happy belated birthday to your son.

And a happy belated Father’s Day to you Cory.

The Cute Giraffe

Excellent movie! In many ways better than the original.

I saw it in an IMAX theatre, and subconsciously picked seat F-18.

10/10 would definitely recommend.

I’ve built a very nice LEGO F-14 with working swing wings, I’m now looking for
a nice F-18 MOC to build.

I doubt it and believe it's the former, human cancer.

Random does not necessarily mean without conscience choice. Random simply refers
to something that cannot be anticipated in advance. So, from Nubs_Select's
perspective, this email appears random. They cannot even predict if it will be
in English or in French!

In other words, you're asking if anyone has received emails (made, done,
happening, or chosen without method or conscious decision)
from PayPal?

Do you honestly believe anything is "done without conscious decision" from any
entity such as PayPal?

The post is so ludicrous, I had trouble in formulating a rational reply. This
is the best I could do

Truth be told, in this day and age, the vast majority of emails are sent without
any conscious decision at all, by automated scripts and bots (unless, of course,
said email bots are conscious).

Of course, the person who wrote the script/bot was most likely conscious, but
even that cannot be taken for granted, for a significant amount of computer code
these days is written by… other code.

For context, here are some statistics: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1304

The charts only go through 2013, but I don't need to see the rest to know

Play Well!

Happy 22nd Birthday Bricklink.

I love this website and its awesome community. I love to look through the forums
and see the wonderful people that are always more than happy to help each other
out. I enjoy looking through the shops at cool parts and sets that people have
acquired.

Thanks for everything you awesome website (and its community)

ago from today: https://www.bricklink.com/v3/about.page

I've only been using the site for about eight years or so now, but even in
that time BrickLink has gone through some incredible changes, transforming to
better serve the needs of the LEGO community. I can only imagine what the next
22 years will bring.

For context, here are some statistics: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=1304

The charts only go through 2013, but I don't need to see the rest to know
that BrickLink is a thriving marketplace.

Play Well!

P.S. Today is also Juneteenth and Father's Day in the U.S.

https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1302554

Almost lost them over the winter. Not so much the lack of UV or growth cycles,
but because of a toxic-to-plants substance, I knew nothing about: cat piss! I
understand it's use as a derogatory, now

Had a client ones that did not understand why her shrub kept dying on a certain
side.
As we were talking the culprit showed up, did his business against said shrub
and strolled of

  
My son was away on business and had us sit his (unbeknownst to us) pregnant cat,
this she-demon: https://www.bricklink.com/message.asp?ID=1329051 She had for
some reason been pissing in the saplings' pots at night. Almost killing them
within hours. I have never smelt ammonia as strongly as her urine, pungent as
Hell itself.

Yup, I never advice clients with neighbors from hell that won’t keep in shape
their greenery’s over the border of their garden to use urine.
That would kill the problem fast…

  
Well, I did the Botany ER thing with them for two months, I wasn't gonna
give up on them! I believe they’ll pull-through, against all odds.

Next time remove as much soil as possible, or give large amounts of water to
clear the soil.

  
The First is now nearly 5 feet tall now, she is Jazz. The second is doing well
too with beautiful dark green foliage, is Gavin.

Nice going 👍

If you cat sit again, put aluminum foil in pots. The cats hate the foil and
it will keep them form climbing into pots to do business. Another option is
to put some tape sticky side up across tops of pots and they won’t mess with.

the email was worded more like I'm now verified to use Paypal as a seller
not as much verified on a device which I should have added previously I can see
how I caused some confusion

It kinda looks like the message I get when I use Paypal multiple times through
a browser. Initially, I would need to go through the "I am not a robot" click-thingy,
but after a few times a message comes up at login, saying something to the effect
that Paypal now trusts the device I am using, and the robot clicks are now no
longer needed (but obviously the password is still required).

It looks like you are using their app though - I don't have any experience
with that.

Niek.

Yeah, I do think it's legit. and there isn't anything in my account when
I open it. I double-checked the address letter for the letter and the address
that sent it and it's all good and there aren't any links. It just reminded
me of when I had first to verify my account a while ago and they said I had to
send in a certain document and every time I submitted it they denied it but then
after submitting it like 15-20 times (not even exaggerating much) they accepted
it so maybe they had a copy of that in their system and they accepted it a second-time
by mistake since so many copies were sent.

It could be legit; especially if there's no link you've to click to.
If they require to do something, just open your account separately (no click)
and see if something is required there.
If not, send this e-mail to spoof@paypal.com - let them fix their own glitches

Did you login to you PayPal account and it requested an SMS code?

While it requests it all times since a year or more ago, very few I get a similar
email.

The cat probably tried to kill the plants in self defense, avocados are poisonous
to cats.
Also, what happened to the poor minifig from the old plant pic during the ammonia
frenzy? (Since I know only too well that cats are pretty deadly for Lego collections
...)

Hey, it's 4 months ago

  Yeah I don't know how to bathe a cat.

You shouldn't. You can help clean them, ged rid of hair they'd swallow
and can make problems sometimes using your wet own hand, from time to time, with
no champoo or soap they'd lick and ingest.

Much more, they'll like this - a couple here litterally require me
(meow, meoww!) to wash them when I'm close to the bathroom sink, say once
a week.

Don't soap/bath them - apart maybe the first time when you've found a
stray or such rare cases.

No plants for the animals. Don't want them dying! Nice job though. The plants
look pretty good and very healthy.

Never mind. I figured it out. There's an icon for thumbnail size that you
can click on near the top of the palette.

Thanks for the info, I'll have a look at this; never used or had this problem
of course.

Open studio, then Help, then User forum.
Or BrickLink, the big red Studo icon, Studio forum.
It's not here.

If you look at the top of BrickLink, there is a Studio menu which leads to the
Studio Forum, where you can ask your question and they will be able to help you.

I suggest that in your initial question you mention what computer and browser
you are using, this will certainly make the resolution faster. And when you say
"it just won't work" what's happening? Is there an error message displayed?

What kind of computer do you have? Some people have had trouble installing Studio
on newer MacBooks, the kind with the Apple M1 chip.

  Hello,

I am new to Bricklink Studio and have begun designing my first MOC. However,
I came across a problem that I can' seem to figure out. I am creating a pentagon
shaped platform and trying to attach it to my base. I am using 1 x 4 hinge bricks
to create the shape, but I can't attach it to my plates because the studs
on my base don't align perfectly with the anti-studs on my plates attached
to the bottom of the hinge bricks. I also tried switching to 1 x 4 hinge swivel
plates. This did not work either. If anyone knows how to attach them or have
any advice on what I need to change, please let me know. I have attached an image
to show the problem I am having.

Thank You.

Hi,

— Take two 2429c01.
— ‘Bend’ one at 36.87° (37° can do) and the other at 53.13° (53° can do).

To ‘bend’ a hinge:
— select it,
— hove over the hand-shaped icon (looks like a wench but it’s a minifig hand…),
there’s 3 icons, click on the rightmost one.
That’s the ‘special pose tool’ that allows to pose/hinge/modify composite parts.
Then:
— click on one plate,
— press 'R',
— now two possibilities:
  a. — click on the rotation arrow,
      — click in the textfield in the center of the rotation dial,
      — enter the value for the angle.
  b. — use the arrow keys: one press = 45°, +SHIFT = 5°, +CTRL = 1°.
— click in the empty space to quit the rotation tool,
— double-click in the empty space to quit the special pose tool.


Otherwise, the dedicated forum for Studio and PartDesigner is https://forum.bricklink.com/
(hover over the red Studio icon on every page, then click “Studio Forum”).

Please search the forum for your question before posting a new one (the search
box is in the very dark grey banner).

  Just joined up after years of using LDD.
Downloaded Studio 2.22.4-1 to my Mac (Mid 20120 iMac, 4GB, 10.13.6).
Screen only shows black. No menu options appear to work except the About option
which just displays the dialogue with my current Studio version.
Tried to pull older versions (just in case, 2.22.1-1 & 2.2.3-3) and got the same
results.
Internet connection is good, OS version is maxed out at this time. Restarted
a time or two, no other apps running.

I noted that one webpage here said I needed version 10.9 or higher and another
said 10.13 or higher. not sure which is true but I am on 10.13.6 so I should
be good, right?

What am I missing here?


TIA

Please search on the Studio forum: https://forum.bricklink.com
Your Mac may be too old for the recent versions.

Basicly its asking for your permission if the program can make changes to your
system so that the program can run on your system. You can decide yes or no.
Do this with caution as it is your system.

Example
Kind of like when you download an app on your phone it may ask for changes to
better fit or run on your phone.

Studio heeft een eigen forum op https://forum.bricklink.com

Dit probleem is bij mijn weten nog niet eerder gerapporteerd. De enige oorzaak
die ik kan bedenken is dat het bestand zelf beschadigd is. Zou je op bovenstaande
forum je model willen uploaden? Dan zijn er verscheidene mensen die je wel willen
helpen het probleem op te lossen.

I've had a similar experience, I had multiple issues with an order in 2021,
when Lego adjusted something on the order in early to mid 2022 it triggered a
new GWP onto that order (that wasn't there previously) and shipped it to
me.
Not sure if it was a goodwill gesture as a result of so many issues on that order
or a technical glitch, I just went with it and gifted the extra set to my dad.

Hi,

The dedicated forum for Studio and PartDesigner is https://forum.bricklink.com/
(hover over the red Studio icon on every page, then click “Studio Forum”).

Please search the forum for your question before posting a new one (the search
box is in the very dark grey banner).
There’s indexes of known bugs and suggestions that you can browse first:
Studio: https://forum.bricklink.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=5579
PartDesigner: https://forum.bricklink.com/viewtopic.php?f=10&t=5589


There’s a subforum, aptly named “Studio Parts,” to ask for parts: https://forum.bricklink.com/viewforum.php?f=6
And there’s a nice “I can’t find this part” FAQ https://forum.bricklink.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=6368

(Oh, and it’s Studio, no dot anymore.)

I'm guessing they found extra in warehouse, plugged them into the system
and old orders that were left unfulfilled after they ran out previously came
up again.

I have to ask... what's the story here? You never made a case of them not
sending at the time or what's going on?

After going to desktop, I clicked on the file and it asked the same thing, it

It does permanently need writing permissions to the Program Files\Studio 2.0\
folder as to update the parts library.

Remember the Studio forum is located at: https://forum.bricklink.com
so if you have further questions, please search that forum for your issues first

It is not uncommon for software to ask to make changes, especially when Studio
will be making changes to the files which have your virtual Lego model stored.
Without access, many apps will not run on your computer. The best safety precaution
is to make sure you trust the developer before you give it any permission. Studio
is 100% safe to use.

and isn't that like administator permission?

Studio is a finicky software.

Can you be more specific? Maybe post a picture of the error message.

  Any shortcuts for entering inventory? I am a new Brinklink store owner and painstakingly
entered one color of my inventory 1 part at a time using Brinklink's interface.
I had hoped there was a way to download what I have entered and get it into
Excel and then update it for my other color parts and then upload back to bricklink.
Is there software to help one do this? XML file is useless to me as my programming
skills are pretty rusty.


Welcome to the world of BrickLink selling.

For manually entering inventory, I find it more efficient to add all of the same
parts of all colors at the same time, rather than adding stuff of all one color
at the same time.

I have also memorized the basic color numbers so I can manually change the price
guide URL for the same item from one color to the next:
The basic color numbers are
1 = White
2 = Tan
3 = Yellow
4 = Orange
5 = Red

6 = Green
7 = Blue
11 = Black
85 = Dark Bley
86 = Light Bley
88 = Reddish Brown

Here are the BL instructions on how to create an upload file by creating an XML
file: https://www.bricklink.com/help.asp?helpID=22

The most commonly used FREE third-party software is BrickStore
https://www.bricklink.com/linkClick.asp?ID=282


I prefer adding pieces one at a time directly to BrickLink. Creating an XML
or BrickStore file offers the possibility of keystroke errors. The error that
trips me up most often is forgetting to change the color from one line to the
next.


Good Luck, Have Fun, and Sell Lots of Lego

There are over 25,000 known orchid species. They grow all over the world, on
every continent except Antarctica.

Some are very small and plain. Some are very showy and colorful. And everything
in-between.

The type of orchids you see for sale in your local shop are all tropical epiphitic
orchids (growing on the branches of trees) from rainforest canopies in Southeast
Asia. Although the ones in the store are mostly hybrids grown in large commercial
greenhouses.

Beware Orchids. Collecting them is about as expensive, and addictive as Lego.
