Yes, I know what you are thinking: "We already have bevels!" Well, I dont. I noticed for the past month that bevels were gone in most every game I entered. I tried using the ROBLOX studio settings, but those helped none, even when bevels were clearly set to 'On'. I dont know what to think at this point, but much of my work is ruined. I used bevels to my advantage and they meant a lot to the smooth look of my work, like floorboards and stuff like arcs and door frames.

I have checked with my associates aswell, bevels are slowly wavering with them aswell. I dont know if ROBLOX thinks bevels are unneccesary, or too slow, but I want them back. I want my rounded corners, I want to see the correlation between a normal brick and a blockmesh brick. And this problem applies to things like truss bricks and custom meshed head bricks, they all look like blockmesh.

All I ask is that whatever is going on be reversed or at least looked into, and brick bevels be restored to everyday games. I have lost almost all progress on my work because of these bevels, and much of it had to be dumped or restarted. From a fellow builder, speaking for a community of builders, bring our bevels back!

@ Sassle12
Forum rules are the least of our concerns. If a short indirect sentence means support, go for it! All I posted this for was a bit of support, reasoning from a builder to builders.

I know for a fact it isnt my computer. Why? Well, not only have I tested the theory that it was just the working of my computer, but I tested other computers AND tested ROBLOX studio rendering settings. Random appearing bevels are the working of the 'Automatic' bevels setting. I have turned mine on, and gotten little to no effect.

When did they remove them? Or are you just saying they have to fix what is broken?

And by Bevels, you do mean slopes correct? If not then I have no clue what you are talking about ._.

Dude, WNTS = What not to suggest. It's a forum thread created by the moderators that state what NOT to ask for (because it's never going to happen.) One of the things listed in the WNTS thread is that you cannot ask for the return of something removed.

@ mathepa
The rounded edges and corners on non-blockmesh bricks.
@ WNTS complainers
• Get rid of BC.
• Get rid of Guests.
• Get rid of noobs. (Everyone was new once!)
• Get rid of the 2.0/3.0 bodies. Read This article for more info: http://blog.roblox.com/2012/06/an-open-letter-to-roblox-about-our-third-gen-character-parts/
• FREE ROBUX FOR EVERYONE!!! (This includes raffles, contests, lotteries, giveaways, scavenger hunts for tix, etc.)
• Bring back the old studs. (No. Stop asking.)
• Add an AFK system so I stop getting killed. (Builders can make their own AFK systems.)
• Ban so-and-so. (Personal attacks will get YOU banned.)
• Undo my ban. (Use the appeals process, appeals@roblox.com)
• Make so-and-so a forum moderator. (We don't have volunteer mods anymore. All mods are Roblox employees and work in many areas of the site.)
• CANCEL THE WHOLE THING. (IE, undo a massive update, remove huge features, etc.)
• FIX ALL THE PROBLEMS EVER. (We need specifics! And no, "all the exploits" is not being specific.)
• Remove this sticky. (...No.)
• More rights for NBC/fewer privileges for BC. (This includes "more/less tix or robux", "more/fewer places", etc.)
• Create new kinds of BC/give everyone a free BC trial.
• Let us change our usernames.
• Pets.
• Microphone/voice chat.
• Bring back user meshes.
• Allow online dating/ODing.
• Allow swearing or other mature content.
• Ban groups for religion/racial minorities/LGBT. (Roblox is a welcoming place and we allow anyone with the means to create a group about their interests, so long as that group is not spreading hate or trying to convert others.)
• Allow religious talk/race talk/political talk/LGBT discussion on the forums. (While we allow groups about this, talking about it on the forums is not allowed because it often leads to flame wars.)
• Stop being a kids' site/give us 13+ features. (We're aware of the interest.)
//The above does not state any specifics that would apply to this thread. Although it seems that the updates reversal part would apply, bevels have been around ROBLOX too long and it would not be minor if the whole ROBLOX building community uses them\\

Why? Because bevels are a major ROBLOX feature. An update removing them is nothing, and the loss of them would be much despair for many builders here on ROBLOX. Bevels are not a massive update, as stated in the WNTS guidelines, but a simple removal that can be easily re-integrated.

@88tox
WNTS suggests specifically that MAJOR (Just incase you are mentally uninclined, Ill reapeat it: MAJOR) updates be reversed. I believe that this is more of a glitch than an update, since if the brick is plastic it has sharp corners, but when its a type of material (ex. wood or rust) the bevels are there. It makes no sense whatsoever and it needs to be fixed.

Dude, you're missing my point. They don't undo updates. If you actually kept reading the whole WNTS, you'll realize that.

The main idea is that they don't undo any update, unless they have an absolute reason to do so. They won't be bringing back old details because they're working towards making the graphics look more realistic. Just because a lot of people want the "old look" back, doesn't mean they'll do anything.

And no, kid, this is not a glitch. They intentionally removed the bevels to improve the look of bricks on Roblox. It IS a major update, since it affects every game on Roblox.l

Well apparently they dont know much at all, becuase if they actually looked into what users did, they would know that just about every builder on ROBLOX actually USES the bevels, and to get rid of it would cause a large stir in the building community, even allow a toggle on bricks that choses wether or not they have bevels. Because 'improving' the look tends to sometimes be 'downgrading' the look. And I didnt like the 'old look' bricks had round studs, and we didnt have nearly as many features as there are today. '07 is gone and I kind of like it now (yes, this account is an '09er, my '07 account got perma banned...)

And before you walk around being smart about everything, know that most of my work and the work of many other builders is RUINED. Why? Because apparently ROBLOX is trying to 'Improve the look'. Improve the look in new games and servers! I am probably one of the few objecting to the public that our work is RUINED. Ruined, by the loss of bevels, which often were used to full advantage to make smooth work. And its not massive, they do not have to go to each specific game, and integrate the feature one by one. All they have to do is toss it in, shut the site down for a bit to make sure everything is running the way they intended and then let things go. And if you would read the guidelines from my point of view, you would notice (yet again) that it only stated undoing massive updates. Massive as in, getting rid of materials or GUIs or something like that. And even if you want to continue your conflit acout WNTS, think. ROBLOX is basically turning us into LEGO. The bevels are a prime example, no bevels, we look more like LEGO. Its not like im asking to get rid of personal servers or the stamper feature, Im asking that bevels be kept. Or at least make bevels a choice, since they are a major part of most everything here on roblox, and I dont think ROBLOX's target is to ruin our games.

On a personal note, I have no purpose for bevels in my game (f1 2013, where sharp lines are needed), though it seems important to some here...

Oh your game is ruined and you think it's not a major update? How about you quit then, if your game is ruined. Obviously they aren't going to be bringing back anything they have removed.

My games, other peoples games. You may find no purpose in the aesthetic look of roblox, just like the rest of the cesspool here but im one of the few that does care about this subject and it must be fixed! if you arent going to support the return of bevels dont post.
