Written walkthrough
Put a building drawn in a scene into a Roblox game, at a size a Roblox character can walk into. You need a computer with Roblox Studio (free) and the Ünflat plugin installed. No Robux needed. This is the Roblox Building card in the app’s Learn tab.
1. Open Build
In a scene, open World, then Build. The card opens on its catalog. Tap the Wall tile.
2. Draw a small house
Drag on the map to draw walls all the way round. Walls that join are one building. (The Room tile draws four walls and a floor in one drag.) A Door or an Archway makes the doorway: Door is on the Doors row, Archway on the Archways row.
To color it and add a roof, set What to Building on the Select bar, then tap the building on the map. The card becomes the building’s page. The Walls card holds the Outside and Inside wells, the Floors card the Flooring well and Add a floor, and the Roof card Roof. Any building drawn this way exports. Walls laid from tiles do not.
3. Tap your building
Tap Scene up top, then Everything in this scene. The list opens on the Figs tab. Under BUILDINGS, tap the Building row. Its page has a ROBLOX section. With the building selected on Build, Its Figs tab page ▸ opens the same page.
4. Send it to Roblox
Ground under it adds a patch of land under the building. Tap Send
it to Roblox. A scene with no name asks for one first, and the scene
takes that name. The file takes the scene’s name: a scene called Cottage
downloads as Cottage_building.lowpoly. Move it to your computer.
Pattern-painted walls arrive wearing their pattern. A pattern that can’t be made into a picture arrives in its main color, and a note under the button says so.
5. Walk inside it
In Studio, open any place. Plugins tab, Import Model on the Ünflat toolbar, then Build a model… and select your .lowpoly file. The building appears in the workspace with its colors, anchored and solid, at walking scale. See the Studio plugin .
Press Play. One storey is 20 studs tall and the doorway fits a Roblox character. A door’s frame is exported and the door itself is left out, so the doorway is open and a character can walk in. From here, copy it, place copies along a street, or build around it like anything else in Studio.
