If you paid via PayPal, then put in a claim ASAP. If not, contact your bank -
you might be able to do a chargeback on your credit card (if you paid by that
method). Also, report seller via BrickLink Problem Order - https://www.bricklink.com/retractOrder.asp

I presume you're talking about the part ins Studio? If so the proper Studio
forum is here - https://forum.bricklink.com/
However to help with this issue, you could always place a plate underneath where
you want the parts and then attach to that, then delete the plate.
I'm not noticing any issues with placing these parts side by side though.
There is a grid setting which adjusts fine movements. You could also try turning
on/off part-snapping.

Give us an idea as to what the item is, what you want it to do, how large you
want it and how much you are willing to pay a designer and you might get some

I read (somewhere) that the database can handle only integer figures upto 255,

I think this is a big problem with the NSS overall; the seller shipped, but did
not send the correct parts as ordered. I think this should come under a different
complaint to someone that didn't ship anything (or order never arrived).
It's easy for the seller to post an image/proof to show they shipped something
(which will cause the NSS to be removed), but it doesn't prove they shipped
the correct something! The buyer still might not have the items they paid for.

I bought my first MOC set recently and clearly made a rookie error in going for
what I thought to be the best priced bundle. Only now I’ve realised I’m missing
around 10 individual parts as the seller didn’t have them in stock (lesson learned).
I now need to source these 10 pieces but on their own could end up paying much
more and also in postage. Is there a better way to source these pieces at all
or is there no option but to potentially have to go through 10 individual sellers
and just pay all the postage?

Create a "Wanted List" of the parts you require. Then click "Buy
All" - select the region where you want to buy from ("United Kingdom"
and it will list the sellers only in the UK with the parts. Those at the top
of the list have the most parts required. You can select the seller with the
most parts with lowest price and shipping easily.

According to the instructions, there should be a green button named "Export".
However, in my program there is "SIGN IN", "Add to wanted list"

I am using Studio version 2.23.11 (1)
This is the latest release, not the latest stable. The reason I am not using
the latest stable release is that would not start on my Macbook. I have Sonoma
14.2, so the OS version should not be a problem.

If you want to export just an image of your creation then you just select the
"Render" option - that will render the scene and create an image for
you (in the format and size of your chosen settings). It looks like you're
reading the wrong instructions - that link is for creating a .PDF instruction
file, via the Instructions Maker.

He could always get a new replacement box off BrickLink for less than 10 £/$/Euros
including postage - https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?O=75335-1#T=S&O={%22ss%22:%22UK%22,%22rpp%22:%22200%22,%22iconly%22:0}
That's about as much as I'd refund (if I were a seller and in your shoes)
- certainly not 50% of the cost, especially since it's difficult to prove
if the box was damaged during transit or afterwards...
I know collectors like to keep boxes in mint condition, but most collectors would
have bought the set when it was first released and not when it's just about
to retire. Something that old is likely to have shelfwear/scuffs etc.

Sounds like you might have changed the Palette options. The Main palette allows
all parts (but shows in white), the "BDP Series X" palettes show the
available parts in the available colours. Remember these are BDP parts and not
every part available in the Main palette is available.
Just click the colour palette menu (under "Insert" on my Windows machine)
and choose the palette you want.

Sure
I was just explaining how it works and why it may not work. As they said the
hit F and got an empty screen, there’s little chances that the scale changed
and that there’s invisible tiny pieces somewhere to select.
Also, “Reset camera origin” / “Zoom to fit” are simpler to do and should always
work (unless you’ve a lost part far far away and that leads to a very small scale
).

Cat butts in regular contact workspace surfaces? Yeah, cat folks are out there
~This, coming from one who's son shares a relatively small living space
with two cats. I love and admire my son very much. But after having just visited
a few days at his place, I now will need to try and understand that obscure part
my boy. He does have a good deal of affection for the two furballs, which offers
the tolerance needed, I suppose?
Yeah, my share of "cat butt" exposure in my time there last week. They
seem to be especially proud of that part of their anatomy... jumping up on the
worktable I sat at, so that it was often in close proximity to the face. As if
to say "here, get a closer look" Then there's the walking around
with occasional feces stuck to their paws, from clumsy attempts at burying.
No thanks

LOL.
They grow on you. Like mould.

The solution is to right-click and use “Reset camera origin.”
You can also use the menu View | Zoom to Fit.
| | Highlight the whole screen area with the left mouse button. It makes all the
distant, invisible parts glow bright blue, then right mouse click on the glowing
bits and select "Pan to Cursor" and zoom in.
I'm sure there are other methods, but that works for me.
|
Actually, your solution may not work.
‘F’ = Pan to Cursor
As the name implies, it moves the view to center it on the mouse pointer.
That doesn’t mean it centers or re-zoom on the selected parts.
What happens is:
— if there’s no parts below the cursor, it will center on the point on the Ground
below the mouse pointer,
— if there’s a part below the cursor, it will center on the point on the part
just below the pointer (not on the part itself, just on the bit that’s pointed).
So, if, like Boboby, you end up with an empty screen, there may be no parts to
select, there’ll no parts to show highlighted. And the selecting before right-click
+ Pan to Cursor just ensures there’s a part below the mouse pointer when you
Pan to Cursor.

That was my first thought too, but I ruled it out as the bottom plate didn't
look angled in the photo provided. Giving another look, I can see that it acutally
is. So yeah, this bit!

Could it be a 2x2 jumper plate with some Flego attached? Does the bent pole come
out of that bottom piece?

Check your email - if you bought from him, you'd surely have his contact
details, even if just on the PayPal receipt (if you paid that way). If you bought
it from another site, have a look at your purchase history.

Could it be the church from his "Build Up Your Lego Winter Village" book?

Unfortunately Lego colour naming does indeed differ from Bricklink's (and
other sites).
Here's a website that lists the Lego nomenclature and the BL alternative
- http://ryanhowerter.net/colors.php
Personally, I generally prefer the BL names for most colours - they make much
more sense to me.

Add them to your browser bookmarks. That's what I do; I have several for

| | Hello! I was wondering if the same colour shades for bricks get changed over
the years. For example, would a black or dark bluish grey brick today be the
exact same shade the same brick had 20 years ago or more? I know there are different
types of shades for colours like blue or grey, but a brick listed as being dark
bluish grey today and one listed as being dark bluish grey in the 90s or 2000s
are the exact same brick, right?
|
TBH the colour of bricks in a single set can differ significantly (white, dark
red and dark blue can be really bad from presonal experience), but in general
the colour is generally consistant. Don't expect a perfect match with any
two Lego piecess and you'll be OK... So, yeah. And no!
