Part properties

Why use Part?

A Part is a basic 3D building block. Its properties describe both its appearance and how it behaves in the world; anchoring prevents gravity and collisions from moving a static platform.

Try it in Roblox Studio

Put a Script in ServerScriptService and run the place in Roblox Studio. The block appears in Workspace; this engine API is unavailable in a standalone Luau interpreter.

Syntax

local part = Instance.new("Part")
part.Anchored = true
part.Parent = workspace

Examples

Create a visible platform at a known position.

local platform = Instance.new("Part")
platform.Name = "PracticePlatform"
platform.Size = Vector3.new(12, 1, 12)
platform.Position = Vector3.new(0, 5, 0)
platform.Anchored = true
platform.Color = Color3.fromRGB(40, 130, 255)
platform.Parent = workspace

Instance.new creates an unparented Part; the property assignments configure it before it enters the world.
Size and Position use Vector3 values measured in studs. Parent = workspace makes the configured part appear.
An anchored part stays fixed. For movable physics objects, leave Anchored false and account for gravity and collisions.

Best practices

Set important properties before assigning Parent to avoid a briefly visible default part.
Give created instances meaningful names so they are easy to find in Explorer.
