Hi, There's no password anymore on Studio files nowadays. So they are just Zip files. And there's been a few other modifications. First, try to extract your .io file with standard Zip tools (7-zip for instance). If that doesn't work, well, mostly there's no way to get back your model. And if that works, look at these three files in that order, they are all plain text files: model.ldr: look at its size, if it's not 0, then open it in Studio, you should get back your model. modelv2.ldr: look at its size, if it's not 0, then open it in a simple text editor (like Notepad). You'll need to edit it to make it a true LDraw file. For that, you edit all the lines that start with “11”: replace the “11” with “1”, don't touch the second number, delete the third number, the “False” and the number just after. For instance, “11 4 1260 False 0 -130.000000 -60.000000 -89.999980 0.000000 0.000000 1.000000 0.000000 1.000000 0.000000 -1.000000 0.000000 0.000000 3070b.dat” should become “1 4 -130.000000 -60.000000 -89.999980 0.000000 0.000000 1.000000 0.000000 1.000000 0.000000 -1.000000 0.000000 0.000000 3070b.dat”. That's lots of work… unless you now how to write scripts…. Once the file has been edited, it should be exactly what model.ldr would have been. You can try to open it in Studio. model2.ldr: look at its size, if it's not 0, then you'll need to edit it even more than the previous one: you'll need to change all the colour codes (second number on each line) from the BrickLink code to the LDraw code and you'll need to cut all the bits that define things that are not needed… which is quite complicated to explain.

Okay. I don’t think that’s something many people will use and so making an option for that is too much work. So here’s a solution just for you: Open lxf2ldr.js in a simple editor (Notepad or such), go to line 500 and replace “push” by “unshift”, the line will then be: siblings.unshift( g ); This builds the list in reverse order.

Hi, Could you give an example file so I can understand how you’re using groups?

The .zip contains the unofficial subfiles only. If a subfile is official, it’s not included… but Studio is still releases away from the last official LDraw release, so it’s missing those files. For instance, the part mentioned above, 48156p01, has a subfile, but the tracker doesn’t propose to download the Zip with both the main file and the subfile. You need both for PartDesigner/Studio.

Those parts are available in LDraw Unofficial. You’ll need to use PartDesigner to add connectivity and to import them in Studio as custom parts. A bit more info on the Parts FAQ on the Studio forum (you need a BL account to read it).

Using Rebrickable is fine… but exporting to HTML and then using Excel is what I find overly complicated. Yep, that’s the one :) It’s indeed more oriented toward sellers but it’s great for managing parts lists / Wanted Lists and orders. Better than juggling with multiple formats and Excel. What I find it’s missing is a way to manage a builder collection: a list of sets & MOCs, some built, some not, and, from that, an automatic list of available parts or an easy way to find what set/MOC you need to scavenge for that one elusive part. Rebrickable has something similar: you can tell it if a set you have is built or not… but I find it’s a bit complicated for MOCs (or subsets).

Oh boy, that’s complicated. Why not simply use BrickStore?

Hi all, Now that Studio’s Eyesight has been open sourced, I managed to build and run it natively on Linux 🥳 and to make Studio use it seamlessly 🥳🥳 and with the GPU too 🥳🥳🥳🥳 If someone wants to give it a try, I wrote a howto.

There’s a buffer exchange feature but it only allows to move parts in the current step.

Studio is more resistant to changes these days… but you need to stay in the Instruction Maker: don’t go changing steps or creating/releasing submodels in Build mode, do it in Step Editor. That may still mess up the instructions for the current submodel but the next ones are generally resilient now.

The bug is fixed in both ‘production’ and EarlyAccess in version 2.24.1(1). You need to (re)download and (re)install as you can’t click Accept in the older version. The fix for PartDesigner is in testing now. No exact ETA on a release. Should be soon.
