Which issue are you referring to? The one where everything in surface and billboard guis was offset up a little is fixed. Is there a different one you know of? Thanks!

from the previous post mentioned before, gladly that itās been fixed on release.
This is an amazing feature - great work to those who worked on it.
I do have one question - in particular to hierarchy placement
Path2D will also work as a child of any GuiObject but it wonāt ignore folders like other UI elements.
I have noticed that if a Path2D is inside a GuiObject that is a child of a Folder, the Path2D ācontrol panelā will not show up. Is this intentional or something that may be addressed in the future?
I really like to use folders for organization if possible - but for now any Path2D usage will be in objects not children to folders.
Thanks for this feature!

Giving feedback, whether positive or negative, is a crucial part of Robloxās growth process. Introducing new features, especially if they donāt significantly enhance the user experience, can lead to software bloat or redundancy.
Two really good examples of currently reduntant features are Fire and Smoke. Both of these were replaced by ParticleEmitters, but still exist in the engine for no real reason other than they cant delete them since itād break so many old games. Similarly, Path2D is a redundant feature to all of the community-made modules and plugins; it was effectively a deprecated feature before it even launched.
For this feature, in particular, its use case is unbelievably niche. In the decade Iāve been on this platform, I can count the number of times Iāve needed a 2D spline on a UI as a position reference with no fingers. This new instance wouldāve been much more helpful as a 3D spline editor, and even that is redundant. People may develop an excellent use case for this, but this is undoubtedly a lazy feature.

This might be the best thing The Roblox Corporation has done for the 2d aspect of studio
Custom solutions are more customizable. It makes no sense for more stuff to be added to the engine if itās worse than a resource someone else made.
Yes, but letās say I draw a path and I mess up the positioning, I canāt center this item or scale it so I would have to remake it every time.

Best thing iāve seen in terms of UI stuff yet, great job.
Very handy for movement/positioning.
Can we expect anti-aliasing to be implemented? Perhaps toggled using a separate property.
Path3D would be awesome for camera cutscenes.

Great job. When Roblox release full version of Editable Mesh? Can we get approximate date?
Splines and Bezier curves arenāt a uncommon feature in most game engines.
Not to mention there are tons of other APIs just like that - even with Bernstein polynomials.
No credit due, although the module itself is good resource.

Awesome new feature, will make sure to experiment with, thanks!
As someone who used to tutor Adobe Illustrator in college, Vector spline tools have been on my wish list for years!
Will there be a feature to see the total length of the spline?

Anyone else having an issue where when constantly updating control point positions the path goes invisible? For me, this happened. Although, for some reason, constantly changing the viewport size seems to make it show (and then it doesnt update anymore when the viewport size is static)

Hi, this sounds like an issue, can you create a minimal repro and post it, I will take a look. Thanks
Okay, looks like a bug with Path2D as a child of CanvasGroups, I have a fix but in the mean time, you can use Path2D as a direct child of the ScreenGui and it should work. Thanks for the report!

Is right clicking on a control point then left click supposed to enable mouse camera movement?

Great update, also looking forward to the release of EditableImages, whenever that is. It looks like a great way to display pixel art while maintaining performance.
