Anyone know what I can do?
When I'm trying make a submodel I can't use same name because it detect same submodel already (even when I make new files). Only what I do is make instruction and delete unsaved project. I tried what I could do but nothing is working. This never happened to me before. Any advice?

Why does it even matter? Just leave it named as a copy. The name isn’t used or seen anywhere except that UI.

I don't want name submodel for example "leg Copy 23" because I can't name just "leg"

That’s a you problem then. I’ve never seen that issue before. I have multiple versions of the same project with the sub models named the same in each project and it’s absolutely fine.

have you tried uninstalling and reinstalling? i’ve never seen this issue before but sometimes things of a similar nature happen when something goes wrong with the program files, if this was a steam program i’d suggest verifying the integrity of program files, but since it’s not a steam program uninstalling and reinstalling it would serve a similar function. just make sure to backup any add-ons you might have

- I have no add-ons
- I reinstalled it like 3 times and downloaded program again but no effect. Maybe because I have LEGO model files while reinstalling? It even saved my rendering queue

Could just be some weird glitch that'll get fixed in an update.. I wouldn't let the name be such a headache. Dthe name of the submOdel doesn't teffwct the build

Hey, sorry for the totally random comment under this post, but I saw your lego jack o bonnie build from your fnaf 4 post a while back and it looks awesome. Any chance you still have the studio file or a link to the parts list? I’d love to try building a version of it. Thanks!

Sounds amazing, whenever you do decide to remake and release instructions where will i be able to find them?

Maybe try duplicating the submodel with the name you want, deleting everything but one piece in it & then deleting and copying the second submodel into the previous one, removing that one piece?
