The Patterns tab

The Patterns tab on the home screen has all the 2D pieces made in the Pattern studio . A toggle in the header selects the side to view: Your patterns (on your device) or Community (shared by everyone).

Your patterns

The Starters row is just under the toggle, with built-in pieces in a sideways scrolling strip. A dropdown selects the pack shown (Classics ▾ by default). Categories include: Patterns (Classics, the 26 standard textures, including the basic building materials used in World › Build ; Borders, the starter borders, once the app has downloaded some; then the themed pattern packs), Stickers, and Murals. The chosen pack stays when you switch tabs.

The sub-header reads Tap a card, then Make it yours to open a copy in the studio. Selecting a starter card flips it to show its pack and the Make it yours button. Selecting it (or double-tapping the card front) opens a copy in the Pattern studio with My added to the front of the name (e.g., My Bricks); the copy joins your library when saved. A starter border’s copy opens as a Border. The original starter doesn’t change. Free tier accounts at the limit (5 patterns) get the Free tier limit reached. window when they select it.

The Your patterns section has your grid, with a filter strip above it: All, Patterns, Stickers, Murals, Wall textures, Ground textures, Photo textures, and Borders. This strip shows when your library has more than three pieces or has a kind other than a plain pattern. The chosen filter is kept for next time. The strip scrolls by dragging on every device.

Selecting All shows every kind. Plain patterns fill the main grid, starting with the New card. Other kinds get their own sideways scrolling shelves under the main grid: Your stickers, Your murals, Your wall textures, Your ground textures, Your photo textures, and Your borders. Each shelf shows up once you make one of that kind.

Selecting one kind’s filter shows just that kind in a grid, after the New card. Selecting New opens the Pattern studio’s start window; select the kind there.

Double-tapping a card opens it in the Pattern studio. Selecting the card front flips it to show details (kind and resolution) and actions: Edit, Rename, Duplicate, Paint with it, Add to idea, Share, and Delete. Paint with it shows Paint which fig?, then opens that fig in the Color tab with the pattern ready in Paint’s Pattern stamp. Duplicate makes a copy with copy added to the name. Copies count toward the free tier limit.

Card pictures show the kind. Patterns and ground textures show a repeating tile. Stickers, murals, photo textures, and borders show one copy on a see-through checkerboard. Wall textures show on a 3D piece of wall, matching the Pattern studio’s On a wall preview.

When the filter is All, the pattern shop and the Roblox clothes shelf (Android only) are at the bottom of the page.

The toolbar

The toolbar is under the Your patterns heading. It has the Select toggle and, if there is more than one piece, the Newest ▾ sort (Newest first, Name A–Z, Oldest first).

Turn on the Select toggle, then tap cards to add them to the selection, or long-press a card to turn on Select and add that card at once. The status bar shows the number selected. The selection stays while you switch between the Figs, Scenes, and Patterns tabs, and Export and Delete act on all of them (e.g., 1 fig, 1 pattern picked). While Select is on, the toolbar has actions for the selection:

• Shelf ▾: Moves the selection to another shelf. Square pieces can move to Pattern, Ground texture, Sticker, Mural, Photo texture, or Border. Tall pieces (1:1.5) can only be Wall texture; non-square borders only Border. The shelf a piece is on now is always listed. A piece moved to Border shows under Your borders in the Border picker. When the selected pieces share no shelf, Shelf ▾ is off and its tooltip names the reason (e.g., Wall textures and square patterns go on separate shelves.). Moving a piece to a new shelf updates every place it shows in the app right away.
• Export: Saves the selected pieces as files. One piece saves as a .pattern file. Several go into one .unflat file, which you can open with Open a file on another device.
• Delete: Checks first (Delete [N] patterns?) with Cancel and Delete buttons.

Community

The Community side has the same filters, plus a Shared by you filter. It keeps its own filter, apart from your side.

This side shows publicly shared pieces. The only starters on it are the starter borders, shown when there are some: a Starter borders row at the top of All, and a Starters row at the top of Borders. Their cards work like the starter cards on Your patterns.

The All filter shows Shared by everyone, sorted by date. The sort toggle has ↕ Newest first or ↕ Most applauded. The grid keeps loading as you scroll; at the end it shows That’s all of them for now.

Each kind’s filter shows only that kind (e.g., Shared patterns, Shared stickers). An empty filter names its kind (e.g., No shared stickers yet: tap Share on a card in Your patterns.).

The Shared by you filter lists the pieces you shared, with their review status.

Community cards don’t flip. Selecting a card opens its detail page , with its buttons (Applaud, Star, Favorite). Selecting Remix copies the piece to your library, adding remix to the name; the detail page stays open. To share a piece, select Share on the back of your card. Community card pictures show the kind (one copy for stickers/murals; repeating tile for patterns).

Pattern sheets aren’t on this tab. They are on the Your pattern sheets shelf in the photo import window. See Pattern sheets .

Each kind in the app

A piece’s kind sets the places it shows in the app (any card’s Paint with it also sends it to Paint’s Pattern stamp):

• Patterns and ground textures: In the Color tab’s Pattern tool, the Pattern stamp in Paint, scene floor and terrain settings, and the material wells in World › Build.
• Wall textures: Only in the material wells in World › Build, under the Your patterns category.
• Photo textures: Only in the Pattern stamp in Paint, under Your photo textures in its dropdown.
• Stickers: In the Stickers… picker on the Add tab (the sticker’s flat model also appears on a scene’s Figs shelf).
• Murals: Only in the Mural tool at the top of a scene’s Build page.
