Build together
Share a build with a code. Everyone sees it in the same place and sees the progress.
Start a session #
- Load the build and put it where it belongs.
- In the Loaded tab, select it and click Build this together....
- Give the session a name, and choose whether to share the file.
- Click Start session. Copy the code or the link and send it to the others.
A build has to be saved to a file before it can be shared, because builds are matched by their file.
Share the file, or not #
| Share the schematic file | What happens |
|---|---|
| Off | Nothing leaves your computer. The others need the same file already. BuildPrint matches it for them. |
| On | The file is hosted so the others can fetch it, and a picture is taken for the invite page. It is deleted after 30 days without use. |
Join a session #
Press M, open Sessions..., type the code and click Join. You do not need an account. People who are not signed in are shown with a ~ before their name.
While you build #
- Everyone sees the builds in the same spot.
- The material list shows the progress of the whole group, also when you are far from the build.
- You can be in several sessions at once, and a session can hold several builds.
- The session stays while the owner is offline. Someone who joins later sees everything.
- A build only shows in the world it belongs to.
Who can do what #
| Member | Admin | Owner | |
|---|---|---|---|
| See the builds and the progress | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Hide a build on your own screen | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Move builds and swap blocks | No | Yes | Yes |

The live page #
The link of a session opens a page on this site with the builds and the material list, updated as people build. The owner and admins who have linked BuildPrint to their account can swap blocks and manage members from there.
Leave or stop #
- Leave stops following the session. Builds from others are unloaded, your own stay.
- Stop sharing takes your build out of the session. It stays loaded for you.
- When the last build is taken out, the session ends and its code stops working.
