  Hello. I have been making creations on Mecabricks, but I recently learned to
use Bricklink Studio. I want to realize my MOCs that I created using Mecabricks,
and build them offline. So I want to check if a part exists, and if it costs
too much. Studio can provide me information about the price and availability
of an individual part. Therefore, I want to upload my Mecabricks model to Studio,
but I haven't found a way to do that. Can someone help me?

I did find a way to make this work;

1: download your Mecabricks file as a .dae
2: go to the .zip that will be downloaded and extract the model file.
3: go to https://mecabricks-ldraw-converter.netlify.app and upload the .dae file
and convert it. It will be downloaded as a .ldr file. From there you can import
that file into studio and it works fine.

Ok, I wrote this when I JUST discovered it, so I didnt really get a good look
at the effects. some parts shift around, and if mecabricks has a different name
for a part then there can be a null error. so keep in mind that some manual work
might work

What Im wondering is why when auto-selecting, it adds more parts than I needs
(ex: I need 300 parts, but gives me 450/ 150%)

  I thought it would be cool/helpful to implement a feature that allows you to
type #(set number) into the part search bar or color search bar to see what parts
and colors were used in said set. This would be helpful for making modifications
to sets so you can rebuild the set in the program much quicker, and to help find
what parts molds were used for specific techniques in sets, due to how many molds/variations
there are. It can also help with trying to assemble minifigures and find decorated
parts so you don't have to scroll through hundreds of parts to find what
you need because you don't know what to search for to find said part. it
would be (from what I can tell, I am by no means an expert) simple to implement,
due to how studio already pulls a lot of data from it's catalogs. it could
even be applied to the site itself, so that shopping for parts could be much
easier.

You're aware of: https://forum.bricklink.com/viewforum.php?f=3

If so, disregard my intrusion into your posted suggestion

I had no idea, lol. i reposted it there though.

  I would like to suggest adding the ability to easily print a wanted list. Currently
there is an option to print a set's inventory but not for wanted lists.

In Classic view you can print a Wantlist
https://www.bricklink.com/wantedDetail.asp?showOld=Y&catType=P&wantedMoreID=0

i want to be able to print the parts list to one of my modles, how do i do that?
