Search feature to select all parts of a particular color or name.

“Walk-Through” camera mode lets you view your model from the inside.

Can change spin center to center of selection.

Curved parts are drawn with smooth shading.

LSynth integration with real-time, drag-and-drop constraint editing for creating flexible hoses, chains, bands, etc.

Converters are available which enable you to feed your creations into a raytracer to produce beautiful 3D renderings. The program is based on LDraw, a fan effort to create 3D models of Lego bricks. Best of all, you’ll never run out of bricks. It also provides model-making tools for creating steps and submodels for intricate creations. It is an excellent tool for creating instructions of your Lego building projects.īricksmith offers access to thousands of parts and dozens of colors.

I have rolled in some changes from the main repo however, I have deviated too much from the original code to contribute with PRs without major merging headaches. Since then, it has grown into a more customized (janky!) version to suit my particular preferences and features. I was anxious to make the switch to Bricklink Stud.io and therefore forked the Bricksmith repo a few years ago and made changes myself to keep up with evolving macOS SDK changes, in particular deprecation of support for OpenGL. Furthermore, Bricksmith's internal LDraw model renderer has exceptionally good performance, even with massive LDraw models.

I was desperate to continue using Bricksmith since I had become so productive using it. The most up-to-date and supported Bricksmith repo can be found here: bsupnik / bricksmith However, since early 2021 efforts by bsupnik and the original author have made it possible to build Bricksmith on modern versions of XCode to run on recent versions of macOS, including 10.14 (Mojave), 10.15 (Catalina), 11.x (Big Sur). Updates to Bricksmith to keep up with changes to macOS SDKs have been a patchy community effort. It has a long pedigree, but was almost abandoned a few years ago however, it was generously open-sourced. Bricksmith is a fantastic and productive tool for building LEGO models on macOS based on the popular LDraw CAD model format. This repository contains my personal fork of Allen Smith's superb Bricksmith application.
