The function ToWorldSpace doesn’t work on vectors and the part size is a Vector3.
Just do CFrame.new(part.Size) to convert it.
This is achieved by first positioning the parts as you already have, then shifting them over by half their width.
In other worlds,
line.CFrame = cf * CFrame.new(line.Size.X / 2, 0, 0)
OP tried this and got this.
I explained why this wouldn’t work in the next post.
It might be a bit better if used wedges?
Cylinders will produce perfect results. The OP is just needs to do it with toworldspace.
This?
cyl.CFrame = cf:ToWorldSpace(
CFrame.new((line.Size * Vector3.new(0, 0, 1) / 2))
) * CFrame.Angles(0, 0, math.rad(90))
I’m not sure how your code works, but no.
More like
cyl.CFrame = cf:ToWorldSpace(CFrame.new(line.Size / 2))That wouldn’t work because adds the Y size to the CFrame.
That would require too much maths because I’m doing it on real time with code.

Then make it use the X size? I don’t see this being too complicated.
OH I see what your doing! So your doing it by dividing the line between two points, but in reality, you need to get the PART x size and divide it by two, then use toworldspace with that.
That’s what I’m doing with this code
I’m multiplying the size X and Y by 0 and only the size Z would act here
Can you send me the updated code your using?
This is the current code to generate the parts, I’ll code an entire module to create conveyors, that’s why I don’t like irregularities and that’s why I don’t like using cylinders because I will use stretched models instead of BaseParts.
local function QuadraticBezier(t,p0,p1,p2)
return (1-t)^2*p0+2*(1-t)*t*p1+t^2*p2; --<Very simple :D
end;
local origin = workspace.Part1
local curve = workspace.Part3
local goal = workspace.Part2
local steps = 10
local function GetDistanceOfCFrames(cf,cf2)
local axis,theta = cf:ToAxisAngle()
local axis2,theta2 = cf2:ToAxisAngle()
return (cf.Position-cf2.Position).Magnitude,((axis*theta)-(axis2*theta2)).Magnitude
end
for i = 0, steps-1 do
local pos = QuadraticBezier(i/steps , origin.Position, curve.Position, goal.Position);
local pointfront = QuadraticBezier((i+1)/steps, origin.Position, curve.Position, goal.Position)
local cf = CFrame.lookAt(
(pos + pointfront) / 2,
pointfront
)
local mag = (
pos - pointfront
).Magnitude
local line = Instance.new("Part", workspace)
line.Anchored = true
line.Size = Vector3.new(4, 1, mag)
line.BrickColor = BrickColor.new("Really red")
line.CFrame = cf
line.TopSurface = Enum.SurfaceType.Smooth
line.BottomSurface = Enum.SurfaceType.Smooth
if i > 0 then
local cyl = Instance.new("Part", line)
cyl.Anchored = true
cyl.BrickColor = line.BrickColor
cyl.Size = Vector3.new(1, 4, 4)
cyl.CFrame = (cf * CFrame.new(0, 0, line.Size.Z / 2)) * CFrame.Angles(0, 0, -math.rad(90))
cyl.Shape = "Cylinder"
cyl.TopSurface = Enum.SurfaceType.Smooth
cyl.BottomSurface = Enum.SurfaceType.Smooth
end
end;
I’m really sorry, not sure why this is happening. I’m working on my own project right now so I can’t dive deeper into this. Hope this gets fixed!

I’m not saying to use cylinders at all. If you take the rectangle parts and move them on their local x-axes by half their widths towards the interior of the curve, you get no gaps.
The cylinder idea is smart, and will work for small scales, but will not work for bigger parts because the roblox cylinder is actually a pretty low-poly prism, so it’s got big flat sides.
I think you should try increment your alpha to something smaller so the gaps can be filled. So basically increase the steps.
The problem is that the size and gap size aren’t constants.
