BlackHole

Ah, in Chrome, the wide sidebar tools (colour palette etc) disappear in certain magnifications! On a PC, holding control and rolling the mouse wheel, the different magnifications determine whether the sidebar appears. It's missing if the window is zoomed in at 110% and anything above 125% zoom. But at least I know now how the fault works. I've also put my first work in progress online!

Scrubs, thanks so much for replying. Sorry to interrupt your holiday! I'm struggling a little without the colour palette (now that it's disappeared) but I'm still building. Wondered if my 2,500 piece model had overloaded it? I'll try it on a different PC tomorrow,. But it's a great programme to dry-run big projects. I'm trying to make a model from a painting and learning about how painters cheat their perspective! On Saturday I'll start buying bricks, easier now that I know which ones to get! Thanks again, Mark H

I'm successfully building quite a large model using Mecabricks, But I need help with the layout of the Workshop page itself. With Workshop open, the Help option drops down to User Manual and Video Tutorials - but I can't open the User Manual which I really need, as a relative newcomer! Also, somehow, I've managed to toggle off ALL the sidebars, I just have a black space next to my view window - I can no longer change colours of anything! I've noticed in various screengrabs that you also configure the sidebars in different ways, like displaying parts as a grid rather than the scrolling bar. Knowing how to change the layout of the Workshop window would be a great help!
