Parts will not anchor

I am having trouble anchoring my parts

First, whenever I select multiple parts that are located in models or folders, they will not anchor. If I press the play or run button, they will not be anchored even though I clearly used the anchor button to anchor the parts. Second, I can’t even press the anchor button half the time. Sometimes, with a part selected, I can’t even click the anchor button.

Also, I cannot group or ungroup things half the time as well


I tested this on different accounts, devices, restarted and reinstalled roblox studio. It’s not just my game, and multiple people are having issues with this

Expected behavior

For the anchor button to work like normal

When using the tool, could you check the part properties to verify that they have their “Anchored” property set to true?

Also, maybe confirm that there is no script that might be causing them to become unanchored.

No scripts in my game and when I use the anchor button it doesn’t check the anchored property so it flat out doesn’t work

Although not ideal, as a work around for now you could utilize the Selection service to anchor highlighted parts.

local SelectionService = game:GetService("Selection")
local IWantThePartsAnchored = true -- boolean: true | false

for _, prt in ipairs(SelectService:Get()) do
	if prt:IsA("BasePart") then
		prt.Anchored = IWantThePartsAnchored
	end
end

Hi. Thanks for making a bug report. Is there a process or file to reliably reproduce the problem? I’m not entirely sure what’s being shown in the pictures, if they were supposed to give reproduction steps.

Hey, It already happened to me, and the easiest way to anchor parts, is going to properties frame, and changing value there instead of clicking the anchor button in HOME tab

Put a bunch of parts in a folder or model and select all of them by pressing alt and shift and the anchor button will either just not let you use it or when you click it does nothing. It is not just my place file I know it can be reproduced because others are having issues with it as well

First image shows two parts in a model and I cannot anchor them because the anchor button does not show on the ribbon

The second is just an example of how I cannot ungroup or delete or do anything with the model it’s literally stuck it’s like it is not even in the game

Is this still happening?

In particular does it happen with the Next Gen Studio UI beta enabled? The handling of contextual ribbon actions like that should be much more robust under the beta.

I haven’t had problems with this lately
