What's new.

Any map, any union.

Open almost any Studio place and see it the way Studio draws it, including unions and meshes that used to show up as grey boxes.

Unions & meshes

• Roblox's own union shapes are read straight from the place file, so unions look exactly like they do in Studio.
• Private meshes and unions fall back to their collision shape instead of a box.
• Group keys load meshes and textures owned by your Roblox groups.
• Big places finish loading much faster, and downloads retry when the connection drops.
• A plain-English report in the Output panel explains anything that can't be shown.

Looks like Studio. Saves like Studio.

Ten updates that made places look right, round-trip without losing anything, and keep Baseplate up to date on its own.

Lossless round trip

• Nothing is lost on export. Every property is kept, including ones Baseplate can't edit yet: unions, welds, attributes, terrain data and more.
• Export to .rbxl (Studio's binary format) or .rbxlx. Object order matches Studio.
• Checked on every release by an automatic self-test against real places.

Looks

• Studio-style lighting: sun from ClockTime, shadows, point and spot lights, fog, Atmosphere haze and the place's skybox.
• Reflections on glass and metal, Reflectance, and indoor areas that aren't lit by the sky.
• Roblox's own material textures, the 2023 materials, and custom MaterialVariants.

Editor

• Union, Negate and Separate, 3D Text, on-screen GUI editing and an Insert Object menu.
• Studio Settings and Game Settings, a right-click menu in the 3D view, and a tidier Explorer and Properties.
• Sign in with Roblox through Roblox's official sign-in.
• Installer and auto-updates with stable and beta channels.

Hello, Baseplate.

The first build. A full editor you can open your Studio places in, build with, and export back to Studio.

Editor

• Explorer, Viewport and Properties laid out the way Studio users expect.
• Move, scale and rotate gizmos with visible snapping (studs and degrees).
• Undo and redo for every edit, plus duplicate, group and ungroup.
• Studio camera controls: right-drag to look, WASD/QE to fly, F to focus.
• 35 materials with surface detail, and instanced rendering that keeps huge places smooth.

Roblox Studio files

• Open .rbxl, .rbxlx, .rbxm and .rbxmx. 400,000-object places open in about four seconds.
• MeshParts, unions, decals and textures through your own Roblox Open Cloud key, cached after the first load.
• Export to .rbxlx for Roblox Studio.

Toolbox & templates

• 29 built-in assets across Nature, Buildings, Props, Obby and Gameplay.
• Working Luau scripts on kill bricks, jump pads, checkpoints, coins and more.
• Five templates: Baseplate, Starter Scene, Obby, Village and Coin Rush.

Scripts & Play

• Luau script editor with syntax highlighting and auto-indent.
• Play mode for physics tests. Stop restores everything.

Home

• Home hub with recent projects, templates and an archive that never deletes your files.

Known limitations

• Luau scripts don't run inside Baseplate yet. Test them in Studio.
• Properties and classes Baseplate doesn't model yet are dropped on export. Keep your original file. (Fixed in 0.2.9.)
• No Terrain yet. Not code-signed yet, so SmartScreen will ask once.
