Surface Orientation Indicator

I always get the previous update of the Roblox Studio’s current updates.

Hello there,
I am very happy that @Roblox made this update happened! For some couple of years it was a very waste of time to find the front of a part. We had to test the game many times to find it. Even though we had surface on properties that we could used it for finding the front of the part but we had to change the surface of the front of it which was very annoying to make something with that.

I am glad that @Roblox make this so we can find the front of the part easily like in a few seconds! This saves our time and helps us a lot.

Example:
If we want to make a chair we had to test the game many times. Just for finding the sitting area (Front of the part). But with this update now we can find the front of the part easily.

Once again thanks to the community to make a good update such like this!

I don’t have the option to enable this, where can I do it?

They had disabled it shortly after release for bug fixes.

Will possibly be turned on again tomorrow.

Just FYI, due to our spring recharge, our release schedule is pushed back. We’ll update once we have a date! Sorry to tease you and then pull this back–we’ll do better.

Seems to work a little better this time. I think (as others have said) I would much prefer to see it appear via selection, this means my screen won’t be shrouded with unnecessary UIs when I don’t need them, without having to tediously disable the indicators I don’t need.

Either way, this is a lovely feature and I can’t wait to use this in my projects!

What’s the point of a service for it though? It’s just a billboard gui showing the front surface, and can easily be made without a service. It would just add more unnecessary features for a really niche cause

I have an idea,
maybe put a small Crosshair in the Middle of the screen when it is enabled, and then the part you look at gets selected and the front face pops up, and when you move away it goes away.

Should be toggleable (custom keybinds would also be nice)

  1. open a place with team create enabled
  2. show a basepart’s orientation
  3. publish
  4. close place
  5. open place

Thanks, logging this internally. FYI it happens without TC.
