Hello people! I am having some slight issues when making stuff in studio recently, every time I have been making something, most of the time super thin, small and sometimes very noticeable gaps have been appearing in my models, although some may be tiny, they are extremely annoying considering i use normal increments like 0.05, 0.1, 0.025, 0.1 etc. It is extremely frustrating especially considering I have tried some methods to combat this issue and it’s driving me up the wall since none of them appear to do anything, if anyone has any idea how to combat this annoying issue or anything, i would love to hear it!
thanks!

I use the f3x plugin when building. I find that helps because I can see how far I’ve moved something as well as the exact location on all three axis. I also like how you can change your rotation with this plugin.
(1) Building Tools by F3X (Plugin) - Roblox
Otherwise I know there is a popular plugin that many professional builders have recommended to me. It’s for filling gaps.
(1) Stravant - GapFill & Extrude - Roblox
Both are good plugins.

I do use F3X sometimes, and as much as i love it, super thin gaps still appear at times, as for GapFill i still ought to experiment with that, but my parts are precise sizes i guess you could say so i see no reason for them to have gaps.

are you using meshes that you have imported? because I used to have that issue as well and I know that Roblox will round measurements at times. It can be very frustrating
No, I am not using meshes, I am just using regular wedges/parts
hmm that is weird. It’s been a while since I have used just roblox parts tho so I’m maybe not the right person to help. Sorry.
It’s fine, its just really grinding my gears these gaps
Use the Transform or 5th tool. With the tool, you can move a part and the tool will align the part to the nearest part automatically. You can also move the “grid” by pressing on the icon on the top left in case you need it. I’m not entirely sure if there are other alignment tools but that’s how I use the transform tool.
Barely anyone knows what’s the purpose of the Transform tool lol. I only use it to align parts if the move tool or dragging doesn’t do the trick.
[EDIT]: Woops, necrobumped…
I am going to take a wild guess here and say that you probably are using different increments of movement with different parts, which is creating those tiny gaps. The best way I have found to make sure all my parts align, is by pressing the “grid” icon, which creates a nice grid layout to help you with your building. I also suggest you make sure to keep count of your increments. If you are going for precision building, I highly suggest reading this article, it helps a lot.
