Getting the error "Parent is not a valid member of EditableImage/EditableMesh"?

[R3dTuxedo (Tux)]

I was confused on how you’re suppose to use editable meshes/images

From what I read this is how you’re suppose to use it:

EditableMesh

@FGmm_r2

To preview an EditableMesh, simply place it as a child of a MeshPart instance to override the mesh that is rendered. You can use the following code snippet to re-parent an EditableMesh.

newMesh.Parent = existingMeshPart

EditableImage

@FGmm_r2

Similar to EditableMesh, EditableImage allows you to preview changes to image if it is a child of the following instances:

• As a child of a MeshPart, it will override the TextureId property
• As a child of an ImageLabel or ImageButton, it will override the Image property
• As a child of a Decal, it will override the Texture property

---

But I kept getting the error “Parent is not a valid member of EditableImage/EditableMesh”

Same error from the demo:

@FGmm_r2

Hubcap_Image_v12.rbxl (426.3 KB)

How do you actually use them?

Instead of this:

editableImage.Parent = script.Parent.Decal

do this:

script.Parent.Decal.TextureContent = Content.fromObject(editableImage)

I hope this helps!

How is this resource any more helpful than just reading the documentation for either of those classes where they very clearly explain how to properly use them in a way that any reasonable person should be able to understand?

Is reading the documentation really this much of a forgotten art these days?

It doesn’t provide new information. It’s a tutorial/guide. It helps people who are confused about outdated information on EditableImages/EditableMeshes.

If you don’t find this useful then move on.
