Baseplate

Build on Baseplate.

The modern development environment for Roblox creators. Open the places you've already made in Studio, build with tools that stay out of your way, and export straight back when you're done.

Bring the places you already have.

Baseplate reads Roblox Studio files directly. No converters, no plugins, no copying things across by hand. Open a place, change it, and take it back to Studio.

Nothing gets lost on the way back. Baseplate keeps every property it reads, including the ones it can't edit yet, so unions, welds, attributes and everything you didn't touch go back to Studio exactly as they came in. Every release is checked against real places before it ships.

Your key. Your account. Never your password.

  • Sign in with Roblox. You sign in on roblox.com through Roblox's official sign-in. Baseplate never sees your password.
  • Official Open Cloud API. MeshParts, unions, decals, textures and Roblox's own materials download with an API key from your account, plus your groups' keys for group-owned assets.
  • Stored safely, cached after the first load. Keys live in Windows Credential Manager. Big places take a minute once, then open instantly.

Handles you can actually grab.

Big, clear gizmos. Snapping you can see. Undo for everything. If you know Studio, you already know where everything is.
