Brick Finder Knowledge Center

Yes. Brick Finder includes BrickVision™, a LEGO^® brick scanner. You photograph a tray of loose LEGO^® bricks from above and from a few angles, and the app finds the pieces, suggests what each one is, with its LEGO^® part number and color, and adds them to your collection after you check them.

Yes. Pour the bricks onto a tray or a flat surface, spread them out, take one photo straight down and then 3 or 4 photos from the sides. BrickVision™ puts a box on every piece it finds and suggests a name, LEGO^® part number and color for each. You check the list before it is saved.

It combines several clues instead of trusting one photo. The overhead photo finds each piece and measures its size, the side photos show its height, and the shape, outline and color are compared with the built-in catalogue. The same piece is matched across views, and the surest view decides.

Yes. Shape and size are two of its main clues. The overhead photo gives the size in studs, the side photos show whether a piece is a brick, a plate or a tile, and the outline helps tell slopes, rounds and special pieces apart. Color is checked as well.

Yes, but spread-out pieces give better results. Crowded trays work, and pieces of different colors that touch are kept apart, but pieces that hide under others are harder to see. If you can, spread the bricks out in a single layer and add side photos.

Scan time depends on your phone or tablet, the number of pieces, how crowded the tray is, and the scan settings. Smaller, spread-out batches are easier to review. Keep the app open while scanning and review the suggested matches before saving your collection.

No, the sheet is not required. For best results, use the printed Brick Finder sheet: it gives the app a known size and color reference. Without it, use a plain, flat, matte surface in soft, even light, and spread the pieces out.

Scan it with BrickVision™, together with other pieces or on its own. You do not need to know the part number first. The app suggests a name, LEGO^® part number and color, shows other likely matches, and lets you look at the piece up close from every angle before you choose.

Yes. Brick Studio™ in Brick Finder lets you watch 1,800+ 3D builds assemble brick by brick (Watch it) and build your own models in 3D with 15,500+ parts in any color (Build it). You can also try Brick Studio™ free in your web browser for a limited time.

Brick Studio™ is the 3D building part of Brick Finder. It has the Set Library of 1,800+ 3D builds, Watch it to see a model build itself, Build it to make your own creations, and step-by-step building instructions for library builds that you can save as a PDF or print.

Brick Studio™ includes 1,800+ 3D builds, including alternate builds and smaller models. That is separate from the catalogue of 21,800+ official LEGO^® sets, which you can search and compare with your bricks.

Yes. Pick a model in the Set Library, press play, and it assembles itself one piece at a time. You can pause, step through it, change the speed and turn the model to see every side.

Yes, for the 1,800+ 3D builds in the Set Library. Open a build, tap Instructions in the More menu, and Brick Finder makes a full step-by-step manual right on your phone, with the parts for each step. Save it as a PDF or print it.

No. You can watch any of the 1,800+ 3D builds and build your own creations with unlimited bricks in any color, without owning a single piece. If you have scanned your collection, Brick Finder can also show what you can build from it.

Not really. Blender is general 3D software for any kind of model. Brick Studio™ is made only for building bricks: you snap real LEGO^® part shapes together, watch sets build step by step and make instructions. It is much simpler to learn, but it is not a general 3D modelling or rendering tool.

Yes. The Minifigure Creator in Brick Finder lets you build minifigures in 3D: pick a head, hair or hat, torso and legs, choose every color, add something to hold, strike a pose and spin it around.

Yes. In the Minifigure Creator, tap Surprise me for a random figure or mix any head, torso and legs. There are 4,700+ torsos and 600+ hats, hair pieces and helmets, every color on every part, poses, and a Face Studio to draw your own face. Saved figures go into your Display Room.

Brick Finder has 17,000+ official minifigures built in, so you can look them up even offline. In the Minifigure Creator you can also make your own from thousands of parts.

Yes. Choose a preset pose such as wave, cheer, sit or run, or move every joint yourself. In a scene your minifigure can walk to a spot you tap, jump, sit and turn.

Yes. The Face Studio in the Minifigure Creator lets you drag the dots to move the eyes and shape the brows and mouth, so every figure can have its own expression.

Yes. In Brick Studio™, tap Record and it films the build for you. You can zoom in while it records, pause to look around, then tap Carry on. The result is saved as a real video file you can share straight from your phone.

Yes. Use Picture to snap any moment from any angle, or Burst to take a picture every second. Then play the pictures back as stop-motion, or make them into a video and share it.

Yes. Step into a scene, tap the plate and your minifigure walks there. It can also jump, sit and turn, and you can add a friend for two minifigures in one scene. Take pictures or record while they move.

Yes. In Mosaic Maker, pick any photo and it becomes a LEGO^® mosaic in official LEGO^® colors. Choose the size, from 5 to 30 inches across, and the look: tiles, studs or a mix. Then save a picture, a video, a print sheet PDF or the part list.

You choose a size from 5 to 30 inches across. One stud is 8 mm, about a third of an inch. Bigger mosaics show more detail; at the largest sizes a mosaic can look almost like the photo.

Yes. Switch to Buildable mode and Mosaic Maker uses only colors LEGO^® really makes in those pieces. You get a full part list with LEGO^® numbers and counts, and a print sheet PDF to build from.

The Display Room is your virtual showroom in Brick Finder. Walk around and see your sets built in 3D, with a case for your own creations and a minifigure case by the door. Tap any set to open it in Brick Studio™.

The case has 140 spots on 10 shelves of 14. Figures you save in the Minifigure Creator go in first, and sample figures fill the gaps until you add your own. You can turn samples on or off, Shuffle, choose which figures show, and press and hold a figure to Remove or Replace it.

Yes. Change the walls, floors and case colors, and add signs to label your shelves. The room has 24 themed sections, from City to Space.

Yes. Sets in your collection, the 3D builds and the models you make in Brick Studio™ can all be shown in the Display Room in 3D, with no physical bricks and no shelf space needed.

Sort by type first, not by color: bricks, plates, tiles, slopes, Technic and special pieces. Keep minifigures and printed pieces apart. Then scan tray by tray with BrickVision™ so every piece lands in a digital inventory you can search.

Yes. Every scan can be saved as a new collection or added to one you already have. You can also add the sets you own by typing a set number. Every part is pictured in its real color, and you can review and correct the counts.

Brick Finder compares your collection with 21,800+ official LEGO^® sets and ranks them by the share of pieces you already have. You see the sets you can build now, the ones that are only a few pieces away, and exactly which pieces are missing.

Scan the bin a tray at a time and save the pieces together. Brick Finder ranks the sets whose pieces best match your bin, so the top matches show which sets the pieces probably came from. Unusual, printed or specially colored pieces are strong clues.

Yes. Scan your loose bricks, see which sets they match, and pick one. Brick Finder shows the pieces you are missing, the 3D build to watch for 1,800+ sets, and step-by-step instructions you can save as a PDF.

Yes. Pick a set and you see the pieces you still need, pictured and counted, in the right part and color. When you are online you can order them from LEGO^® Pick a Brick or BrickLink.

Brick Finder includes 21,800+ official LEGO^® sets and 17,000+ minifigures, built into the app so you can search them offline. Separately, Brick Studio™ has 1,800+ builds in 3D.

No. Mixed colors are fine, and different colors touching each other actually help the scanner tell pieces apart. What matters more is spreading pieces out so they do not overlap.
