Frequently asked

How do I place and connect parts?

Choose a part from the strip at the bottom and a colour from the swatch, then tap the grid to place it. Parts snap onto real studs automatically. Long-press a part to pick it up and move it.

How do I open my model in BrickLink Studio?

Tap Export to save a standard LDraw .ldr file, then send it to your computer (AirDrop, Files, or iCloud Drive) and open it in Studio with File → Open. No conversion is needed.

How does the free trial and purchase work?

Studded is free to use for 3 days. After that, a single one-time purchase unlocks lifetime access — there is no subscription. Your purchase is tied to your Apple ID.

I bought Studded but it’s asking me to pay again.

Open the paywall and tap Restore Purchase. Make sure you’re signed in with the same Apple ID you used to buy it. Purchases restore automatically across your devices.

Where are my models stored?

On your device, as .ldr files. If you enable iCloud Drive, they sync through your own iCloud account and appear in the Files app. Studded has no servers and no accounts.

A part shows as “missing.” What does that mean?

The model references a part that isn’t in the bundled library (often a very new or rare part). The rest of the model still opens normally.
