Yes - note also it's implemented in BrickStore for 6 month / a year...
You can create your list of parts with optical recognition (at least on parts
you've difficulties to find), it's very convenient!

Correct, it is 'hidden' in the 'add items' dialogue.
Anyway to have it shown on the menu bar or as a button?

I had heard of it but considering find it. Thanks for helping. Now I should be
able to add parts at twice the speeds that is if I don’t get distracted

Light mode attracts all the bugs! If you used dark mode your inventory would
never have issues!

For all those who use part recognition applications, I have just discovered
a site (which is not available in application but which is very easy to use)
if it can help you when you want to reference.
You have the scans for the minifigures but also the parts.

https://brickognize.com/

There are almost all the items referenced and the creator is really very nice.

Indeed! It’s one of the main reasons I was able to finally use brickstore! It
makes it really nice to use!

Re: 30 studs or 12 studs in one direction?

In Designer Program, Firecracker_ writes:

Hi everyone.

One of the guidelines for Series 5, under "Building Instructions", says
"Don’t build more than thirty studs in any direction unless it’s one full
element". I believe this used to be 12 studs, and the corresponding image
still says 12 studs. I just want to make sure that 30 studs is correct?

Thank you.

Hi,

Indeed, they changed it to “thirty” in the text. I don’t remember it being mentioned
during the webinar 🤔
Maybe it’s to allow us to do things like place tiles on a baseplate in less than
150 steps

Anyway, remember that those are guidelines, they are not applied too strictly
(for instance, with the previous value of 12, BL was okay if you were over 12
studs if you had a good reason).
Also, the instructions will be re-made by professionals. You need to make instructions
so that:
— they serve as a base,
— they allow BrickLink and YOU to check if your model is buildable.
So the guidelines are here to make the instructions clear and easy to follow
and to easily check your model.

For this guideline, they just want each step to be manageable and that you don’t
put a lot of parts here and there on the build. If you go over 12 (even more
with 30), the reader may miss a part or three.
For instance, it should be okay to place 4x Tile 1x8 on the border of a baseplate
(even if it’s over 30 studs!). But it won’t be okay to place 40 tiles of different
colours and sizes and shapes in all the corners of a baseplate, even if it’s
in a zone below 12x12.

Keep that in mind and your submission will be okay

I think there’s no digital instructions available for the first program, ADP

Rendering for Results

Topic:

So, I am hoping to submit 2 design into BDP Series 5, and I have a question about
rendering. What typically captures more views, a rendering using the default
"building" light domain or using an HDRI image?

I may be getting too deep into changing out HDRI files in the render folder and
stylizing the renderings. (I like rendering and creating scenes because it is
almost like I am playing with the set). Is the preference to keep the renderings
simple? For example, which rendered image below is better for model presentation?

(The one with the orange hint is using the default "building" light domain
while the one with the blacker blacks and shinier bricks is a homebrew.)

Hi, thank you for your reply.
I have thoroughly checked everything again, and I was on the edge of going crazy
when I realised what was the mistake I made and where.
I tried over and over again and for like the 100th time I saw that until now
I always moved the minifigure's arms by releasing the torsos first. And THIS
is a mistake

Indeed, it’s better to use the Posing tool for the minifigs (and the 1x4 plate
hinge…): https://studiohelp.bricklink.com/hc/en-us/articles/6502749986967-Posing-minifigs-and-other-special-parts

As for the LEGO News, now that must have been some sort of glitch or similar,
as once I deleted the part completely and re-added it from the list it was fine.

Maybe you had it in the wrong colour? (It can be easy to recolour a part.)

So now I am error free and cannot wait the middle of May!

Happy to help

. Once I released the torso all the parts included in it appeared
on the right side list as unavailable within the given palette. Meanwhile if
I move them without releasing them first they will be OK. So all my issues originated
from this.

Hi everyone,

Hi,

I was trying to find some information on this, but I wasn't able to find
anything, hence my question.

There’s more info on the dedicated forum: https://forum.bricklink.com/viewforum.php?f=13

So I am preparing my first submission for the next round of the BLDP, and I am
aware that I should use the most recent palette (5).

Yes.

My question is that as there are no printed parts in this palette (eg. the Lego
News 2x2 tile),

There ARE printed parts, and the 2x2 “The LEGO News” newspaper is in it.

[… missing torsos …]

A lot of decorated torsos are there too.

I have 'Decorated Bricks On',

Are you sure?
https://studiohelp.bricklink.com/hc/en-us/articles/8117942037911-Missing-parts

but still, even if I choose
a torso from there it is listed as unavailable within the selected palette once
inserted.

Which torsos exactly?

Also, don’t confuse “marked as unvailable within the selected palette” and the
yellow “!” / “unaivalable on BL.”
I haven’t checked all the torsos but it sometimes happens that some parts are
in the BDP palette but not “known” = not in an inventory on BrickLink yet = without
colours or prices.
