What can we do if we can't install or open Roblox Studio?
If you can't open Roblox Studio on your computer, use the Roblox website's Create page to edit a place in your browser or install Roblox Studio from the Roblox download page and then follow the instructions starting with 'Open Roblox Studio'.
Why won't the Properties or Explorer panels appear when I click View, and how do I fix it?
If Explorer or Properties still don't appear after clicking View, click View > Reset View or reopen Explorer and Properties from the View tab and make sure you have a part selected in the 3D view or Explorer so the Properties panel shows its values.
How can I adapt the steps for younger or older kids?
For younger kids, focus on selecting a part, changing the Color box, and pressing Ctrl+D to duplicate, while older kids can also change the Size and Position numbers, group copies into a Model, and experiment with simple scripts.
How can we personalize or extend our creation before sharing on DIY.org?
Before clicking Save and sharing, personalize your place by changing Colors and Sizes, adding different part types or textures, grouping duplicates into models, and optionally adding a script for interactivity to make the creation unique.
