Brick Gizmo is a 3D brick editor that runs in your browser. Build with the LDraw parts library, open and save BrickLink Studio and LDraw files, and check that what you build will stand.

The file is the model.

Brick Gizmo saves plain LDraw text, and reads and writes Studio's .io files. Every line is one part, so a model moves between Brick Gizmo and other LDraw tools, and changes show like changes to source code.

    General notes

    1. Runs in the browser. Nothing to install.
    2. Opens and saves BrickLink Studio .io and LDraw .ldr and .mpd files. Exports OBJ, glTF, STL, PNG and a parts list.
    3. Checks stability: the joints closest to failing, the parts nothing holds and the parts that overlap. Simulates the model with physics.
    4. Steps, building instructions, mosaics and rendered pictures.
