I'd love to build this fire engine!!! As a firefighter for almost 20 years and a avid lego fan this has really caught my eye and I don't care how much it would cost to build!!!!

One of the most helpful and well presented tutorials I've ever watched. I had to keep pausing to take notes. Thank you.

I've been using Studio for 3 weeks now and you just made it much easier

Hey Boone my question is… actually that answered everything I needed to know perfectly after the beginner one, like exactly. Thank you so much, finally I’m off to the races and excited to get my mocs saved. Such super nice tutorials.

Best thing I’ve watched on YouTube all year. Thank you for saving me hundreds of hours and dollars on moc experiments.

Boone- all I can say is "Thanks". Thanks for taking the time to help newbies like me learn about this cool application. I'm super excited to start

This is one of the best tutorial video for Brickilink Studio on youtube. I have recently downloaded it.

This is my second video of your to watch, the first being tips and tricks. Phenomenal job. The speed at which you present and the annunciation is excellent.

On this video, you covered how to update preferences which I had already set but what I didn't realize until watching your video is there is a shortcut section! While you didn't necessarily cover it, you showed it and that's exactly what I needed. I was disappointed the G key didn't activate the paint roller like it does in Photoshop and other graphic programs... After modifying my shortcut, now it does. I cannot believe how good this software is. But back to the point, you videos are outstanding.

Amazing Tutorials sir, they are really helpful, love to see more modeling with Legos and making stuff thank you.

This is such a great video--beautfiully edited, succinct and yet very thorough! I have used Studio for dozens (possibly hundreds?) of hours and I learned a ton just from the first tip. So helpful! Boone's Studio instruction video is also excellent.

[leeschlosser]

that compatible pieces button is going to be very useful! thanks for making these videoes.

[Skrattoune]

Thank you so much. This video is a must see!

These are such great videos; very well edited and informative. One thing I figured out when using the Snap function: if you're still having trouble getting it to place where you want, set the part or submodel off to the side and release it, then when you highlight it again, have your cursor at your desired connection point (on the piece/submodel) as you begin to move it and you can carry that connection point right to the location that you're connecting it to ... it gives you much more control of the placement ... I hope that makes sense.

On the Copy & Mirror function, what I've noticed is that it always places the mirrored version immediately to the "right" of the piece you're copying, whether it conflicts or not. No problem, though, just grab the mirror and place it in the desired spot.

I learned about the Hide and Connect buttons watching this video; I'm excited to try both of those. Thank you so much, Boone, for sharing your knowledge. Happy building, everyone.

Thank you, Boone ! The last update had completely change my settings for the Nudge tool, and I couldn't remember how to get it back !

[MrTimothypjr]

These likely saved me HOURS if futzing around. Thank you!

[PandisPandus]

This was a great repetition! I also learned about the hide tool :).

[RL]

Thanks Boone! You just saved my bacon with that nudge tool !

[HeikoBertram]

Very nice tutorial! Can you make one about the new tool: Split & Merge?

[gossipmime]

There's a freaking copy and mirror? All this time, once I finish one leg or arm of my mech, I have to painstakingly build the other to match. Thanks so much!
