- Extracting Data from Stud.io 2.0
My problem: I want to create an inventory of my parts. For that I need data I could look up on BL. Sadly, my storage has no internet whatsoever, so I need an offline solution.
I have found the LDRAW library inside the Studio installation, which gives me the parts and their design. They contain the name of the part, too, but only as a comment, and I have yet to verify if this is consistent. I think I could rig a software that renders me the picture as I need it for my application, so that's that.
But there are other files inside the Studio installation, and I wonder if there is a way to find the following information from this:
- BL Category (Like "Brick" or "Plate Modified")
- LEGO part numbers and colors that exists for a certain design
- Parts Weight
I don't need any rapidly changing data like price or availability.
Has anyone here done this, or knows a software that does this?

French retailer Fnac has given us our very first look at two new LEGO Speed Champions coming in August 2024, a Ferrari F40, and a Nascar Next Gen Chevrolet Camaro ZL1! It seems like LEGO is doubling down on this trend of creating big and small versions of sets. With the Ferrari F40, we had […]
Man, the Speed Chamions series have really come a long way. My 6-wide F40 is one of my favorites on the shelf. It's got a type of charm that the 8-wide don't have.
That being said, I can't wait to park one of these next to my Countach!

- MOC creators - do you also have a massive amount of resealable bags?
I buy Lego pieces from Bricklink probably at least once every few months and have been doing so for several years, so I have collected a massive freezer bag full of the little bags, and I don't really do anything with them. Does anyone else have this problem, and do you use them for anything?
- I'm excited but how are they going to adapt that story? (Spoilers)www.lego.com LEGO® Horizon Adventures - About Us - LEGO.com
During today’s Summer Game Fest showcase, the LEGO Group announced the brand-new action adventure game, LEGO® Horizon Adventures™
Look I'm excited, but one of my favourite things of HZD was the slow burn realisation of just how they "saved" life on Earth. But it's kind of heavy for a game that kids are expected to play. Omnicide is hardly family friendly but how do you change that part of the plot?
- LEGO Icons Ghostbusters Ecto-1 set to be retired this year - Ghostbusters Newsghostbustersnews.com LEGO Icons Ghostbusters Ecto-1 set to be retired this year - Ghostbusters News
They say bustin' makes you feel good, but so does building, and for those who haven't yet trapped the LEGO Icons Ghostbusters Ecto-1, time is running out, as the set is earmarked to be retired by the end of this year.
- Game based on the Lego vidiyo cases?
So we have a few of these things and I honestly fell like they're critically under utilized for what they are. You can see the mini figure display space, the stand and folding wings come out leaving a sizable storage area, and the lid also opens to enough storage for all the parts in each set. The top of the lid is an ordinary 8x8 flat round corner.
Obviously, these would be great travel cases for Lego D&D Minifigs, with your fig, main equipment, and what not with the back space used for other equipment or cosmetics. That said, I really want to find a game that uses the building aspect of Lego and can be stored in these containers.
The best I've come up with would be some variation of Goh that uses smooth tiles? Maybe some sort of chess game? Any ideas would be appreciated, I've been wracking my brain on this for weeks

Just when I think I have all the Batman vehicles I need in Lego form! 😆 I do remember that the Batpod was an exclusive technic LEGO model that was given away free with the first sales of one of the original Tumbler UCC sets. I bought a clone version, but the brick's clutch wasn't so great, and I lost bits over the years. It went in the bin a while back. So I'm happy to see this new version.

- [MOC] Death Star Detention Center Rescue
This MOC took an especially long time to come together. The design required figuring out how to build both hollow and solid hexagonal shapes with a rectangular brick system; unusual geometry also continued to be a challenge with the angular gray walls, especially the area immediately by the sealed hexagonal “doors”. The modular hallway/cell system also took up quite a bit of time to get right due to the unit sizes of the 1x2 grille tiles and the width that the inside of a cell would have to be. This is also my largest MOC or set by piece count, more than double the next largest.
Once the design was finished digitally, the parts order took a few weeks to come in through Pick a Brick and BrickLink.
While constructing, I ran into an interference issue with the elevator doors and the doorframes that Stud.io didn’t alert me about; remedying this issue then led to the doorframes interfering with the vertical piping and an angled wall. I had already made the parts order and couldn’t bear to spend more money on another, so the solutions had to come out of the pieces that I had on hand.
After polishing up a couple of the fine details and making and then remaking the instructions, I realized that this MOC was both too long and too wide for me to properly photograph with my current set-up. After ordering a 2’ x 2’ x 2’ light box, some LEDs, and other miscellaneous photography gear, it was finally time to take photos.
On the back wall, there are three independently oscillating “floor indicators” for the three elevator shafts. The middle elevator cabin can rotate to open up into the lobby.
“Maybe it’s another drill”
The tractor beam power-generator was actually a design of mine from a few years ago. I had already designed the base of the detention center lobby to have right angle corners in the back, and this seemed like a good way to make use of that extra space.
The other right-angled corner gets the hangar control computer. As with the tractor beam power-generator, this wasn’t part of my original idea, but it seemed like a great fit for that extra area. I don’t like having voids left unused in my MOCs if I can help it.
The hallway was the very germ of this design. I wanted to put Coral colored Lego pieces to use in a Star Wars build simply because it’s one of the least likely colors to show up in a Star Wars build. Putting the Coral color in a well-known Original Trilogy context just felt like the boldest possible way to apply it as well.
The hallway is a totally modular system. The corridor segment can be stacked ad infinitum to elongate the passageway, and at any point it can be capped with the white “endless void” module. Each of the doorways to the left and right of the hall can fit with a cell door and a cell or with the garbage chute grate and the sloping chute surface.
“Into the garbage chute, flyboy!”
The cell has a removable section for the roof and walls, and a studded surface for Leia to lay upon (no pun intended). The treasure chest pieces work out perfectly for the wall color, texture, and angle.
I also included a custom build IT-O Interrogation Droid with a white syringe to help induce Leia to disclose the location of the Rebel base. Did you know that the Exploriens helmet had mini-peg connections at the top? That connection had never been used in a set for that piece.
