MeshPart:GetOriginalSize()

As a Roblox developer, it is currently too hard to convert MeshParts to SpecialMeshes via script at runtime. The .05 minimum Size (along each axis) was recently applied to MeshParts. Meshes rendering at smaller sizes was useful for things like rendering objects close to the camera while producing the effect that they are larger and farther away (e.g. 3D UI, guns in a FPS, etc.) without them clipping into walls. The best workaround right now is to replace those MeshParts with Parts containing…

Way to get size of SpecialMeshes

Continuing the discussion from Does anyone have a hat blacklist for giant hats?: It’s impossible to tell how large a SpecialMesh is. Scale = <1,1,1> could mean a mesh that’s 2x2x2 studs or 20x1x40 studs. This makes it impossible to do any sanity checks on mesh sizes with hats / user-inserted meshes or tie mesh hitbox to the actual mesh rather than an arbitrary invisible box. The only way to accomplish this is manually scaling all meshes yourself which is both tedious and not possible to do adap…
