How do open my blueprints?
I've tried to use F10 countless times but it never opens. Was there a change in how you do this?

Select the blue print from the menu and use Crtl + V to paste it into your world. The blueprint will be loaded. You should be in creative mode or have creative tools turned on in survival.

Also make sure you've enabled "paste from clipboard" in your settings.

Bad keys!? :riddle:

Try this :

1- Aim at a grid, small ship or simple block

2- Hit Ctrl+B

3- The Blueprint menu will open for you to change the name

4- Tell me if the Blueprint menu will open.

Select the blueprint from what menu?

Is your game in creative mode?
In survival you need to build a projector and select the blueprint in there.

If its creative you should get the menu when you hit f10 :)

As Karma.. has pointed out Survival and Creative work differently.

F10 Key should open the blue print menu in both. Do you get that far?
Ctrl + B with the cross hair over a grid (small or large) will create a blueprint and open the
blueprint menu

In Creative once you select a blueprint from the blueprint menu you can use Ctrl + V to paste
the blueprint into the world. You can also use this method in survival but you have to have
creative tools turned on (Alt + F10, and have the creative tools option checked).

In Survivial if you don't have creative tools turned on (see above) you can only access the
blueprint through a projector block. You select a blueprint by using the blueprint option within
the projection block options. Select the blueprint you want and then if the projector has power
and is turned on it will begin projecting the blueprint. At this point you can begin building.

Building from a projected blueprint has some requirements and you should read up on that in the SE Wiki Projector[www.spaceengineerswiki.com]

Well it seems that his F10 key is broken so telling him to use F10 = :redlight:

Maybe resetting all keys to default will fix your problem :fix:

Yeah, maybe so. It would have been nice to know if Crtl + B worked as you suggested. Moving to the next discussion.

:riddle: Oh! Maybe you are playing on Laptop and the ''Fn'' key is needed.

Happened for a Laptop user not so long ago (thread must still be in)
