  1. What solutions have you tried so far?
    I have tried renaming stuff and looking for answers but it appears I’m one of the first people to run across this.

Right click model in explorer
Click “Save to Roblox”
Click “Submit”

This for some reason will not work for me.

I’ve had other people reach out in my dm’s saying they are having this issue too and if I know a fix. Unfortunately, I do not know of a fix at this time. If a solution is found I will post it here and mark it as the solution.

I was having the same issue, but i found a work around.

I saved my model into a rbxl.file (save “place” to file), then I saved the model to Roblox whilst in studio, this fixed the issue for me.

This is happening to me too, so i will have to save it as a file for now until roblox fixes this. i hope they don’t take long.

Had a response from customer support and they actually called this a common issue, they said to refer to this and i’ve not tried it but it could work for you https://en.help.roblox.com/hc/en-us/articles/203552894

Yea except this doesn’t tell us much on how to fix the issue. I am able to upload other models just fine except just the one I am trying. It is nothing to do with my computer because I have tried this on other devices as well.

I was able to upload my model by reinstalling ROBLOX Studio.

So I have found that if you upload a brick first and overwrite the brick after with the actual item. Its more likely to succeed.

I have the same issue here today, trying to finish uploading my Ghostbusters Ectomobile model but I got this, proof:

Since I got this issue, I found a solution to this problem!

Publishing a game that includes the model inside helps the problem a lot, and it published working like a miracle!
