Hello, helpful folks!
I'm trying to get into the habit of using Brickstore for adding parts to
my store. One feature I'm not finding is to automatically price parts at
6mo average + a set percentage. That would save a lot of time when listing parts.

Oh misread.

You can't automatically do this, but it's a couple of clicks.

* select all lots CTRL+A
* CTRL+G and select the average you wish
* now they're at the average, if you wish a different price let's say
-10% just right click on any price (while selected) and choose Adjust price,
by default in percent - type -10 for example
* all selected are now avg -10%
* Export/Mass Upload

Really it takes seconds...

Just what I was looking for! Many thanks!

What the other guy said.

CTRL + A to select all (get used to doing this for everything!)

Up at the top - very right side - you see a $ with a block, then a $ with a plus.
The 1st one lets you set the price of all you have selected. The 2nd one lets
you adjust up or down a percentage for all select.

So

CTRL A - $ with block - set to 6 month average - enter - $ with + - adjust price
up/down (select percentage) - enter

Maybe it would work on tablets but on a smartphone it would be kind of impossible
to have it being a nice app as it is for pc. Also tablets, compared to apple
iPads are really rare so i would see it coming more for iPadOS rather than android
tbh

Ermmmmm - Studio on a smartphone?

It'd be very convenient to build seeing 1mm sized bricks, yes

Silly, sorry to say.

Note you may try something like VNC/TightVNC... with a deceptive result.

This sounds like a Studio problem?

Hi,

It should be mostly unnoticeable.
Are you preventing Studio from talking to the servers to check for parts update?

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).
There’s indexes of known bugs and suggestions that you can browse first:

As a follow-up to my previous suggestion for the "Any Color" option in Studio/Bricklink,
I would love to see a "visibility inspection" (or "visibility analysis") button
you can press to identify all the bricks that are completely closed off from
the exterior and thus hidden from view. These "hidden" interior bricks do not
require any special colors to be picked out because no one can seem them, and
people would normally want to buy whatever color is the cheapest on Bricklink.

Currently it is possible to manually distinguish these interior elements by setting
them to one specific color (for example, bright pink so it stands out), but it
is tedious to manually designate them during build. Also, as you continue to
iterate your models, what you have previously designated as "hidden" bricks may
later become visible and vice versa, which introduces human error. With the proposed
"visibility inspection" button, you can just hit the button after the design
is finalized, select all the "hidden" bricks, and change them all to your own
"hidden bricks color" of choice, or in case my other suggestion for the "any
color" option is implemented, they can be designated as "any color," so it's
easy to find the cheapest bricks on Bricklink regardless of color.

Additionally, a user option may be provided so that the user can specify what
qualifies as a "hidden" element. Oftentimes, even when two Lego plates are butting
against each other (especially at an angle), there is a very small microscopic
gap between the two, through which another interior brick can be seen through.
These microscopic gaps are always present (even in official Lego sets) because
of the innate margin of error or give (usually like 0.1-0.2 millimeters) that
is built into all Lego elements. The "visibility inspection" button can be designed
to take these factors into account and also let the user decide how granular
you want to be when deciding what is visible and what is not.

You should post this in the dedicated STUDIO forum:
https://forum.bricklink.com/

Oops, sorry. I resubmitted all my suggestions in the Studio forum. Thanks.

I would love to see a "resize" button that I can use to easily lengthen or shorten
bricks in-place. For example, if I used a 1x4x1 brick in my model but decided
to swap it out for a longer 1x6x1 brick, I would love to be able to just click
the "resize" button, which would make arrows appear in 6 different directions)
and elongate or shorten an existing brick in any of the three axes to obtain
the longer brick instead of having to delete the old brick, hunt down the new
brick in the menu, and place the new brick. Same goes to plates, tiles, liftarms,
etc. that are each just essentially the same "families" of elements that come
in many different sizes. Resizing the "height" might be a little tricker but
being able to resize in-place in the lateral axes would be great.

In Suggestions, SnugWuls writes:

I think it would be great to have an "any color" (or "unspecified" or "undecided")
option. For many elements that eventually become hidden inside your model (e.g.,
skeletal structures), it doesn't matter what color they are. However, depending
on what color you choose, the cost of ordering bricks from Bricklink later on
can fluctuate drastically. I don't want to worry about "what is the cheapest
color for this particular brick" in the middle of designing my model every time
I'm picking out a brick that will not be visible. One thing I do right now
is just pick out a random color (some obscure color you're not going to use
anywhere else) and designate that color to all your hidden colors, so I can worry
about picking colors later, but this doesn't give me a realistic cost estimate
while I'm building a model. I want an "any color" option (essentially meaning
"I don't care what color this is as long as it's the cheapest color)
for your bricks and the cost estimate to reflect the cheapest price regardless
of color. The "any color" brick can show up as hashed or checkered in your screen
to indicate its unspecified status. This will also help when I share my .io file
with someone, and they will be able to make a better and more up-to-date purchasing
decision by knowing which bricks will end up being hidden from view and can be
thus purchased in any color. Ideally, this feature would be implemented both
on Studio and Bricklink.
