:building_construction: About Click to Build

Click to Build is a powerful time-saving plugin that transforms how you create in Roblox. Build paths, walls, and complex structures by simply clicking to place points - what would take hours can now be done in minutes. It automatically builds segments between points with customizable corners or aligns parts perfectly, making complex structures effortless and fast.

:bust_in_silhouette: Is This Plugin For You?

:white_check_mark: Perfect For:

  • Professionals & Serious Creators who value their time and efficiency
  • Large-Scale Project Builders looking to bring ambitious visions to life quickly

Use other parts as template

:light_bulb: Pro Tips

  • Use keyboard shortcuts for faster building:

    • Undo: Ctrl+Z
    • Redo: Ctrl+Y
    • Cancel: Escape
    • Finish Building: Enter
    • Start/Stop building: B
    • Lock current plane: V
    • Hold Space near first point to close loop

  • Enable “Union on finish” to combine all parts into a single union, reducing part count

  • Use a template part to maintain consistent style across your builds

  • Experiment with different corner modes to achieve the perfect look for your structures

Model Placer

Place models sequentially along a path with precise control:

  • Corner Alignment options (Outside, Middle, Inside, Resize to Fill, Resize to Touch)

Shape Builder (New!)

It’s one of those features you’ll either love or won’t need at all. Let’s be honest, you can already place parts with Roblox Studio, move them, scale them, and tweak them. That workflow is fine, and it gets the job done.

But have you ever been building and thought to yourself, “This could be so much faster. This could feel more… intuitive”? Have you ever just wanted to define a shape from here to there without all the intermediate steps of adding a part, dragging it into position, resizing it, and rotating it to get it right?

If that sounds familiar, then the new Shape Builder feature is for you.

1. Multiple Shape Types

The Shape Builder supports a variety of shapes:

  • Block (Rectangle)
  • Cylinder
  • Sphere
  • Polygon
  • Triangle
  • Wedge
  • Corner Wedge
  • Sector

2. Building Modes For Shapes

  • Rectangle Mode: Choose between 4-point or 3-point rectangle creation
  • Cylinder Mode: Customizable cylinder creation with different draw modes
  • Wedge Mode: Flexible wedge creation with multiple draw modes
  • Sector Mode: Create circular sectors with customizable segments and inverse options

Personally, I think Archimedes is pretty clunky to use, and I can see this plugin being useful for building larger-scale maps, saving lots of extra time that could be spent elsewhere. It’s a pretty cheap plugin for what it does imo! Though, if you can do everything shown in the videos with Archimedes without 400 APM then I’m just wrong lol

I agree. The idea for this plugin game, when I started to build paths to buildings in my game, so instead of starting to place each turn by placing blocks manually. Or using archimedes or “Wall Builder plugin” or place rectangles to path corners and use GapFill plugin. All that seemed so much work. I just wanted to draw somewhat abstract paths, just by clicking where the turns are. So instead of working extra hours using existing tools. I spent couple of weeks developing this plugin instead. :grin: . To make my own life easier and hopefully find people who agrees that some things can be build easier. Have big plans for this plugin, extend it more.
Meanwhile me using this plugin:

Note: While using I found out that I needed to place path start “below” building, luckily building door had a cap to start path from below the building. So there would not be a cap. But since then I added “Lock current plane” functionality to the plugin.

If your builds are easier to do with Archimedes, then you should use that. No problem with that :grinning:

what about models? walls are usually detailed and not just a part. won’t it be insanely hectic to use this for detailed walls?

which means this isn’t any better than archimedes.

If you use models with archimedes. How are corners handled exactly?
Not very nicely. Did a quick try for a “Castle Wall” model with Archimedes:

That’s why I did not want to add Models support.
But for you, sir, I will add the support. :grinning:

Again. This is not a plugin to replace Archimedes. I also use it, for instance to generate nice circles, semi-circles.

arch has an option to join faces when it makes the next chunk/part

I agree, If you will use it like that.

But if you want to make abstract path with 1000 corners. Then I wish you good luck setting those values for each bend. This plugin is meant for reducing clicks (therefore time) to produce something you see in your mind.

join faces? where is this setting? join faces for a Model? Like to see that magic :slight_smile:

Looks very cool, I would buy and try this out

(unfortunately I’m broke and since Roblox only supports real currency for plugins now, I can’t purchase atm :frowning:)

Thank you so much. I wasn’t aware there was an update and you can click this small rectangle in old ScreenGui mode, to go to Widget mode, where you are presented with new UI:

For reference, the Archimedes update link: Introducing Archimedes 3 - A building plugin - #78 by deIuxor

Tried the autoresize out, pretty cool. Found the magic :slight_smile:
It does extend and resize Models internal parts. For my castle wall it did first one fine, the second piece glitched out. Noticed that the overlaps will need manual fixing. Or unioning. But really nice feature.

I have 2 ideas here:
Adding part 2 to my plugin, different widget. So you can select a model and you will click to point where you want the next “render” to happen. But the next point can be exactly your model length away. And it will be added, rotated to that way, and parts autoresized. And then you can just click, click and click your wall into existence. Bad thing is that if you want wall to go straight you will have a lot of extra parts.

So next idea, is that you will select your model. And you can click anywhere, and all models child parts are extended to that point. Hard part is to duplicate the repeating parts (for castle wall, the *zigzag). Perhaps can find a magical way to do that.

Not sure if there is a “gift” option for roblox plugin. So I made plugin free for now. Let me know if you have added to yourself. I really appreciate builder feedback. And keep in mind that plugins point is to make fewest clicks possible to build something (and possibly when building at scale).
I have a lot of ideas for improvement of plugin in areas outside of “paths”/“walls” or other sequential builds. So if you, as a builder, have thought that something can be easier to build, then let me know,

I love this, but my biggest concern is where you say:

  • Union Support: Combine parts for better performance

It’s pretty well known for those that optimize pretty heavily, that unions are one of the most intensive and unoptimized parts of engine – so much so that it is recommended to have as few unions as possible in your builds. Drawcells can skyrocket with just using unions as each has it’s own unique ID and can’t be batched

I think this is great, but it’s a bit misleading that it says you can combine parts for better performance - as this isn’t the case with unions. You’re sacrificing performance for the sake of better looking parts and lack of z-fighting with unions

It’s recommended if you have tons of unions, to take them into blender and turn them into a mesh - as unions are really bad on performance

I have take your word for it. Is it still bad in 2025? Really?
I will change the wording according your feedback :slight_smile:

18

If you add model support, I might suggest using an alternating vertical or configurable offset (every second model is offset), 0.05 studs or less depending on how large of an area I’m dealing with works well for me.

Fwiw unions are only poor for performance when producing complex geometry or with complex history. Generally the impact of a dozen parts unioned together as far as physics collisions go is negligible within reasonable scale. It’s a little more nuanced than that of course. The bigger issue is that sometimes collision geometry does not match the union result and its invisible when this happens unless you’re specifically looking for it. But generally, the default should never be to union the result. Keeping them separate is nevertheless easier for editing and for the engine to manage.
