Grid Settings No Longer Working

When using tools such as Select, Move, and Scale, and selecting one of the toolbar options (1 stud grid, 1/5 stud grid, or no grid) I expect that, as has been the case for over 15 years, the objects I am manipulating will do so within the boundaries of that grid (move by 1 stud at a time, or 1/5 stud at a time, scale as such, etc.). However, no matter what is selected, all of the tools mistakenly operate as if there is no grid selection. I am not opted into any related Betas.

In this example, I have two neighboring parts, and one is selected. As you can see at the top of my screen, 1 stud grid is selected, and I am going to be using the “Move” tool to drag this part 1 stud towards me.

Instead of the part moving in 1 stud increments, it is draggable as if there is no grid selection enabled whatsoever. In this photo, you can see a very short distance that the part has moved.

This is the distance that I expect the part to have moved if working correctly, snapping to this distance, as it is exactly 1 stud. I could only accomplish this movement for my example by enabling a user created plugin to make the 1 stud grid snap manually.

This also does not work with the 1/5 stud snap option either.

Might be a duplicate of Hotkeys for changing Grid no longer work

We decided that these shortcuts are on their way out, but there is a plugin in that other thread that you can use to replicate the behavior, should you still need it.

That is rather unfortunate and is a major workflow hinderance. These back-end decisions need to be made with more consideration for the community that keeps this platform alive.

If the plugin doesn’t meet your use case please let us know what would! It’s designed to superseed the bindings and be a drop in replacement.

I will give it a fair chance and report back. My entire studio experience is via the Quick Access Toolbar, so moving settings out of it will be a bit of a change.

EDIT: Keybinds work too

Just stumbled across this thread and it intrigued me, would you be willing to explain more about what exactly is being removed and what you mean by “shortcuts”? From my understanding you mean the Snapping Tab under modeling that allows players to move items in increments.

I gave the plugin a fair chance, and it’s not too bad with the keybinding ability. It’s a bit of a workflow change from the QAT buttons but I can manage; I only slip up using it once in a while. However, can the plugin be set up to be able to dock somewhere? (buttons for the numbers we create in the QAT would be great) Having it stuck within your main workspace window can sometimes get in the way. Even if QAT docking isn’t possible, maybe just dock-able like a normal window?

Roblox Studio back in the early days of the platform didn’t support arbitrary grid snaps, it just had three options:

Even though Studio has supported whatever snap you want for a long time, those actions to set grid snap to 0, 1/5 or 1 have stuck around until now (only accessible via the quick access / shortcut customization dialog).

That’s what’s finally being removed, since with the introduction of the possibility for community plugins to set the grid snap they’re now fully obsolete.

Ohhh alright, so would I still be able to set my move tool to 0.1 studs and it move a part that exact increment? I was confused as previously it had sounded like the increments were being removed.

When I tried them, I noticed they work, but deselect every time you open a place / playtest / stop playtesting and go to the modern value. This could possibly be that you have move set to a value like 0.05, so it’s setting to that.

Looks like this is broken again. Is it broken again for you too?

Yes, this is happening again. I notice my dragger settings also reset every time I open a new session. And that snap to grid is turned on, despite the box being ticked off. And even though Studio thinks I drag in increments of 1, it does say 0.05, same issue happens with rotation.

Are you on Mac?

No, I use windows 10, I notice that this issue is quite inconsistent, mainly happens after switching accounts. I’ve never ran into the issue until 2 days ago, and I’ve not encountered it so far today.

Are there any updated on this? It’s getting really annoying and frustrating..


Are there any updates regarding this?

Sorry for the disruption, this should be resolved.

Thanks, I’ve not encountered this bug since, cheers!
