Hi modelers,

I am wondering why I can’t scale this mesh

This model includes three separate meshes. Is there a way to scale them at the same time?

If you are asking to scale these meshes all at once with the same increment, you can use the f3x building plugin

It doesn’t work to scale it with the plugin. How should I use the plugin

Can you save the model to a file and send us the file here so we can see what the issue is? We can’t really determine what’s wrong with just one screenshot.

In the mean time, try to make sure that none of the 3 meshes have their size parameters X, Y, or Z as a really small number (eg. 13.512, 0.001, 31.831), because that could be one reason the model couldn’t be resized any smaller.

Disable the Collisions box right there under tools tab… the three meshes have different scaling directions and when you scale them together they will resize at different angles and collide, but you have collisions set to true so try to disable it then resize (then re-enable if you like this setting).

I hope this video shows enough on how to use the plugin to scale parts

edit: also disable collisions when you’re building

follow roblox’s export requirements
https://create.roblox.com/docs/building-and-visuals/external-modeling/export-requirements

This way, when you import the meshes into roblox, they come in small, and you can scale it up easily
