Use the Move and Rotate tools to position the part where you want it. Just like you would with any other object, you can use the Move and Rotate tools in the Tools panel at the top to move and position your parts to the exact position you want them.

Alternatively, you can lower the number next to "Move" and "Rotate" so that it snaps to the grid in smaller increments. For example, you can change "Move" to "0.5" instead of "1". This will snap to the half a grid space, instead of whole space. You can also change "Rotate" to 30 degrees or another angle.

Use the Scale tool to modify the shape of your part. The Scale tool works a little differently depending on the part you have selected. The Scale tool can modify shapes in the following ways:
- Blocks: The Scale tool allows you to change the length, width, and height of rectangle blocks. You can use the Scale tool to create a small cinderblock or a large wall.
- Sphere: The Scale changes the size of a sphere proportionally. No matter what size, it will always be a perfect sphere.
- Wedge: The Scale tool allows you to change the length, width, height, and steepness of the incline of a wedge.
- Cylindar: The Scale tool allows you to change the length and size of a cylinder, but it will always be perfectly round.

- Click a material to select it.

Combine shapes together. You can combine these four basic shapes to create more complex shapes. For example, you can place a cylinder along the edge of a block to create a block with a rounded edge. Or you can place a sphere on the top of a cylinder to create a cylinder with a rounded top.
10
Click Union to join combined shapes. When you have combined blocks together into a shape you like, make sure you have all the blocks in the shape selected and click Union in the Solid Modeling panel at the top to combine the blocks into a single shape.
11
Use Negate to cut a hole in a block. Sometimes you may want to cut a hole in a block in order to create a more complex shape. Use the following steps to cut a hole in a block.
- Create a block that intersects with another block.
- Select the intersecting block.
- Click Negate in the Solid Modeling panel at the top. The intersecting block will turn red.
- Click the red block and the block it intersects.

Save your place often (a good time between every save is 30 minutes) so you don't lose the place you were building in.

Don't overuse free models. Although Roblox encourages the use of free models, many top developers consider it as a sign of a lack of creativity and people won't visit your game often

When making a fan game on Roblox, make sure you get permission from the owners/IP Holders of the original game. Game development businesses are right now cracking down on fan games.

When you're ready to publish your game, turn on Filtering Enabled. This can be found in the properties tab of the workspace. Leaving this off can let hackers mess with your game's servers.
