Why can't I use the move tool or the rotate tool in Roblox Studio?

SecretAgentSpyLady · December 10, 2020, 8:31pm

So I’ve been trying to build a game as a joke. Everything was going well right? But now I can’t rotate with the rotating tool or the move tool. The only thing I can use is select. What should I do? I can’t upload the video to Devforum so here’s the link: - YouTube

First, try restarting Studio. If it doesn’t work, reset any Studio settings and Beta features you have changed.

I tried that last night, I think I’m going to try to restart my computer after resetting the beta features. Thanks!

My first build I ran into this. The build too and rotate tool will not work if it is colliding to another surface. To avoid this u can turn can collide off or get this building tool that makes it easier to build because of the collision.

That’s not his issue, I can see that Collisions are off.

What is the move size? if it is high it won’t work.

1 stud for moving and 15 degrees for rotation.

Try turning off constraints next to transform.

I had the exact same problem! You gotta do the following:

-Turn collision off (in models)
-Turn constraints off (in models)
-Turn Join surfaces on, if it wasn’t on already (in models)

After follow these steps, you should be able to move and rotate stuff again!
Good luck

Try turning off constraints and then playing around with it then it should work again.

@SecretAgentSpyLady Was this your solution?

Collisions have nothing to do with this. It simply represents whether or not parts can go into each other. The issue was constraints.

You should think, but it did work for me tho.
