Studio Tweaks - Disable selection box, disable UI Editor, anchor new parts, show selection faces, and more

It seems like Roblox has already broken the selection box override as it doesn’t make your selection box disappear anymore now it shows both.

Works for me, make sure your graphics settings are set high enough so the glass rendering of the selection box replacement (only visible on higher settings) hides the original selection box.

Yes unfortunately this only works with a high enough graphics quality level. I’ll look into whether or not I can set this automatically in the plugin but I’m skeptical.

Oh yes I kept my graphics down to 3-5 usually for big games I edit, but I do recommend saying somewhere to turn your studio graphics up so people won’t get confused on why it isn’t working.

Anyway, thanks for such quick reply.

I have rebranded this plugin to “Studio Tweaks” and added an important new feature to address the problem with Studio attempting to reselect every single descendant of a deleted instance when you undo.

I’ve also updated the icons to hopefully be a bit more clear and understandable.

You will need to reconfigure the tool, because I changed some setting keys.

Expected behavior. I cannot fix this since this selection box is a hack.

I can’t thank you more for this.

I can finally adjust really small meshes in peace without feeling like i’m blind.

This plugin is a miracle.
It seems like it is too good to be true.
But when I tried it out, it was so good that I could actually see what I was doing.

The selection box tends to make transparent objects fully transparent.

Like let’s say if i make a parts transparency 0.2 and turn on selection box replacement and select the part, then the part will go fully transparent.

Added a dynamically resizing hover box. If you get closer, it becomes less annoying.

Inspired by @AstroCode’s plugin.

Added a feature to visualize Welds and other JointInstances parallel to the way WeldConstraints can be visualized.

This feature is a little bit more involved than others, please let me know reproduction steps if you find a way to break it.

Added settings to turn off the UI editor, or just turn off the yellow overlay. The dragging function cannot be turned off.

As usual, let me know if you can break it.
Known issues:

  • Reloading (e.g. updating) the plugin sometimes doesn’t re-enable the UI Editor if it was disabled.

I posted this 4 days ago and you added this to your plugin 4 days ago. https://twitter.com/AstroCodeRblx/status/1355755529566617600?s=20

Obviously I don’t have a patent on shrinking the hover box, and I use your plugin daily, but it would have been cool if you asked first.

Honestly it was on my to-do list to ask and then slip your name in here somewhere but it got away from me while I was working on actually implementing the feature. Sorry about that. Really appreciate you finding out that this element is in an accessible location in Studio.

That’s understandable, no hard feelings. I’m glad that it’s in your tool because I’ll probably use it over mine for the fact that it’s integrated with a bunch more stuff. :stuck_out_tongue:

Also I see that you added my name. I appreciate it!

Yeah, I was really excited to get it in here since it synergizes really well with the selection box override in this plugin. I was using it to work on character accessories and the hover box was left behind still getting in my way while the selection box was politely out of the way.

Cheers, sorry for the mishap.
