The Roblox Studio was built to be your all-inclusive [[place]] editing program. Using the Studio you can [[Lua Help|script]], build and test your places all before you show off your place to the rest of the community. If you want to make any kind of changes to your places, then you should use the Studio to make those changes. Rather than playing in Solo mode, using Edit and Studio allows you to edit the place while time is frozen. The map will not run, so scripts will not run early and bricks will not move around while you're trying to work with them. The camera can move around freely so you're not limited to the movements of a character. Serious builders and scripters use Studio in Edit mode.

====Launching the Studio====
==Launching the Studio==
It's easy to find Roblox Studio, open up Start, click on All Programs, and scroll to ROBLOX. Then click on '''Roblox Studio'''. It will launch with the Games page already opened. You can play a game, or you can hit [[Studio#File Buttons|New]] to work on a new map.
===Novetus===
Make sure you have selected the version of ROBLOX you want to use in the Versions tab. Then, press the Build button. If you want to open up a map inside the place directory, then select the map before pressing Build, and then press Yes. If you just want to open up a blank place, then press No. This blank place is located in the Novetus config folder, and the place directory is located in the maps folder.
===Sodikm===
Like Novetus, make sure you have selected the version you would like to use, and then press Studio. It does not open up any maps you may have selected in the launcher.
===Other===
If you have a studio version of the client you want to use, then open up the RobloxApp.exe file to open studio. If there is a patched .exe file inside of the folder, then open that instead.


==Interactive Tour==
==Toolbars==
 
Instead of using a lot of text to explain everything, here's a picture of what we like to call the [[Studio/Standard Studio View|Standard Studio View]]. This is the window positions, toolbars and settings that people tend to use, and we will assume that you are using for any tutorials on the Wiki. If your setup doesn't look quite like this or is missing things, then you can to go the [[Studio/Standard Studio View#Setup|setup guide]] to make it look like this.
