How would i based on the size of a part’s X,Y,Z make parts inside it at certain points in a radius of the center point diagram here image obviously in 3d not just in 1 line of the part

I’m not sure what you mean, you want to size a sphere based on the distance of one part from the other?

local p1 = workspace.Part1
local distancePart = workspace.DistancePart
local p3 = workspace.Part3

local distance = (p1.Position - distancePart.Position).Magnitude
p3.Size = Vector3.new(distance,distance,distance)

no let me make something by hand in studio give me a moment

Here’s something I made a long time ago. It could probably be improved and would need to be modified to work in different situations.

local count = 3
local size = 1
local off = 1.2
local dis = math.pi*2*size/count
local pos = CFrame.new(0,2,0)
function gen(t)
	local o = Instance.new('Part')
	o.Name = 'Point'
	o.Anchored = true
	o.Size = Vector3.new(1,1,1)
	o.Shape = t
	return o
end
for i=0,count-1 do
	local cf = pos*CFrame.Angles(0,dis*i,0)*CFrame.new(0,0,-size*off)
	local o = gen(Enum.PartType.Block)
	o.CFrame = cf
	o.Parent = workspace
end

i will check that out but in response to @7z99 image this is what im trying to acheive but automated

Oh, I see.

Here’s something quick that could probably be improved upon but it’s just a proof of concept ig.

local part = workspace.Part
local size = part.Size

local p1 = Instance.new('Part')
p1.Parent = part
p1.Position = part.Position
p1.Size = Vector3.new(1,1,1)
p1.Anchored = true
for i = -1,1, 2 do
    local currentPart = Instance.new('Part')
    currentPart.Parent = part
    currentPart.Position = p1.Position + Vector3.new(size.X / 2 * i,0,0)
    currentPart.Anchored = true
end
for i = -1,1, 2 do
    local currentPart = Instance.new('Part')
    currentPart.Parent = part
    currentPart.Position = p1.Position + Vector3.new(0,size.Y / 2 * i,0)
    currentPart.Anchored = true
end
for i = -1,1, 2 do
    local currentPart = Instance.new('Part')
    currentPart.Parent = part
    currentPart.Position = p1.Position + Vector3.new(0,0,size.Z / 2 * i)
    currentPart.Anchored = true
end

Try this script I made that uses trig

local sphere = script.Parent

local radius = sphere.Size.X/2

for i = 0, 360, 90 do -- iterates through a whole circle of degrees. like 0, 90, 180, 270, 360
	local newPart = Instance.new("Part") -- creates the ball for the x axis
	newPart.Anchored = true
	newPart.Parent = sphere
	newPart.Shape = "Ball"
	newPart.Size = Vector3.new(1,1,1)
	newPart.Color = Color3.fromRGB(85, 255, 0)
	local degreeAngle = math.rad(i) -- turns the degrees of my for loop into radians which is what roblox uses for its trig functions
	newPart.Position = Vector3.new(sphere.Position.X+math.cos(degreeAngle)*radius,sphere.Position.Y+math.sin(degreeAngle)*radius,sphere.Position.Z)
	newPart = Instance.new("Part") -- creates ball for the z axis
	newPart.Anchored = true
	newPart.Parent = sphere
	newPart.Shape = "Ball"
	newPart.Size = Vector3.new(1,1,1)
	newPart.Color = Color3.fromRGB(85, 255, 0)
	newPart.Position = Vector3.new(sphere.Position.X,sphere.Position.Y+math.sin(degreeAngle)*radius,sphere.Position.Z+math.cos(degreeAngle)*radius)
end
