Hello,
It has really bothering me recently while we can merge 10 bricks into one union, and not do the same for gui related objects. I can make really complex gui structures and sure I can upload them as a decal, but that takes a lot more time and effort for me. So what I’m requesting here, is that I’d like to see a simular function for CSG but the same for gui related objects. Just so I can have 100 gui frames merged into one single frame.
I think the reason you’re having trouble with ROBLOX GUIs is because you’re seeing them as ROBLOX GUIs and not user interface. There are tons of programs out there that have had millions of dollars and hours of manpower poured into them specifically so that we can have amazing tools to create computer graphics. There are even some amazing free ones (e.g. Paint.net) It takes a lot more time and effort for you because you aren’t used to those programs.
In the long run though, you’ll find that these programs which have had so many resources poured into them are much easier to use (when you get used to them) than anything ROBLOX could put together. Take a look at CSG – the reliability of it. I love it, but ROBLOX doesn’t have the manpower to make it perfect and it isn’t the best due to that. GUI CSG certainly won’t be as complicated, which means it will be less prone to situations where it couldn’t union, but the point I’m trying to make is that you’re better off relying on programs that have been tried, tested, tried again, and made as close to perfect as possible over the many years of their existence.

If you don’t want to learn how to use a graphic design program, that’s fine. You’re free to request this, and it seems some others feel similarly. Just trying to point you to something that’ll likely be more reliable and easier to use than what ROBLOX would put together.
