Welcome to BrickSolvr

Getting started Colors & sizes Camera controls

BrickSolvr turns any 3D model into a buildable brick model — and tells you exactly which bricks and colors to buy.

1. 1 Load a model Drop an STL, OBJ, GLB or PLY file anywhere — or click one of the demo models to try it out. 2. 2 Set the size and colors The Model size slider sets how many studs wide the build is — bigger means more detail and more bricks. The Max colors slider caps how many colors it uses; lower it to merge similar shades for a cheaper, easier build, or leave it at All for no limit. Want a specific palette or brick sizes? See the Colors & sizes tab. 3. 3 Compare with the original The original model and the brick version sit side by side. Use the Show / hide original button (top-left of the canvas) to toggle the original off and focus on the bricks. 4. 4 Build it for real Get the exact shopping list of brick sizes and colors, then hit the Step-by-step guide button to walk through the build one layer at a time.

Big models: a larger Model size means a lot more computing — big builds can take a few seconds, longer on older devices. The page stays responsive while it works; if a size ever feels stuck, lower the Model size a little, and if the page ever stops responding you can safely reload it — nothing is lost.

Open Colors & sizes from the Setup panel to fine-tune which colors and brick sizes the build uses — so the shopping list matches what you can actually buy.

  • 🎨
  • Colors Leave the palette empty to keep the model's own colors (similar shades are grouped into one buyable color), or add your own — every brick then snaps to the closest color you picked. Add colors from the quick-pick swatches or type any hex, `rgb( )` or `hsl( )` value. To simply cap the number of colors, use the Max colors slider on the Setup panel instead.
  • 🧱
  • Brick sizes In the Brick sizes tab, choose which sizes you own — they apply to every color. Anything they can't cover shows up as missing parts.

    Both views share one camera, so they always stay in sync.

  • 🔄
  • Rotate Click and drag with the left mouse button, or drag on a trackpad/touchscreen. Spins a full 360° so you can look underneath the build.
  • ✋
  • Move Hold Shift and drag with the mouse, or Shift + two-finger scroll on a trackpad.
  • 🔍
  • Zoom Scroll the mouse wheel, or two-finger scroll / pinch on a trackpad.
