--Some basic Tips I'm putting here so I have a thread to link to when people ask 'How do i build well'

It's hard to help when people ask: 'How do I build well?' but here are some pointers.

1) If you don't already, use ROBLOX Studio. Technically, ROBLOX prohibits me from linking you to the site, so just google ROBLOX wiki, and go to ROBLOX Studio under 'ROBLOX General'
2) Use this: http://www.roblox.com/CmdUtl-Command-Utility-v3-0-0-item?id=56988233
3) Take a close look at other people places. My building really started to advance when I closely examined the details and techniques behind other peoples places.
4) Take a look at other peoples models, and look at each part individually. How did the maker achieve this effect, or that curve, etc? Maybe even try to reproduce the model yourself, as that can really help teach you about how to build, worked for me.
5) Learn some basic Lua, it can help create a very wide range of efffects that enhance your building and make it more interesting for others.

@Erik, It's "Lua", not "LUA".

Erik, if you want to learn basic lua, go onto the Roblox Wiki then click 'Roblox Lua' at the side, then start looking through the pages and hopefully, you will start to advance.

ALWAYS USE EDIT MODE!

If your looking for a Lua tutorial, I suggest 'Absolute Beginners Guide To Scripting' on the wiki mentioned in the original post.

The best way to build/create is to open Roblox Studio, choose a game and click 'Edit' Upon doing that you should click 'File > New ' Then if it is a blank screen click 'View > Explorer' 'View > Properties'.


Easiest way to learn Lua, Go to 'wiki.roblox.com' and learn from it. I did. Or you can search up LuaLearners on google and use their website to learn from it, another way i learnt.

Roblox shouldn't bar you from saying wiki.roblox.com. Since wiki.roblox.com is just an extension to the same domain. Technically still being roblox.com. Anyways, thanks.
