Meters to studs?

Hello Developers!

I currently don’t have much experience in building as I am a programmer instead so please go easy on me. Anyways my current problem is that I have a 2d map that I am trying to replicate in game and I have a measurement on a road in this map which is 220m, how would I go about converting this measurement to studs? I have read of other posts that 20 studs = 1m but when I do the equation 20 * 220 I get 4400 which seems insanely big


So I don’t think I’m doing this correctly, any help to get the actual size?

Thanks, 50Alpha!

Hi there!
This post about studs can really help you out as well!

Fairly sure it’s 20 like the article says :slight_smile:

I don’t know how accurate that is. 20 studs is the height of four ROBLOX avatars so if we assume a ROBLOX avatar is a person, four persons are definitely taller than a meter.

The full snippet there also says “According to new Roblox measurements, 1 Stud is 0.28 meters.” The preview is just wrong, not the actual wikia page.

I actually did something similar to this yesterday.

I measured the height of a robloxian in studs then divided the average American adult male height (175 cm) by however many studs tall the robloxian was (5).

1 stud is ~ 35 centimeters, so a meter is about 3 studs.

I rounded a few times for simplicity so it isn’t perfect. If you’re measuring a building or something I would use this method, but if you’re going for something precise (measuring helmet straps for instance) then just do the math without rounding.

Hope this helps!

A brief look into Game Settings will answer this question.

Jump Height and Walk Speed are both in studs, so you can kinda use it as a calculator as well

Those who say a stud is 28 cm are correct

Not too sure then, you’re most likely right though, idk why that’s the first thing that comes up then… fairly sure i’ve seen it somewhere else too
