I made a video to show how to split an item into multiple collision boxes, letting you walk through gaps etc. My demonstration uses an arch I initially added but of course couldn’t walk through, till now. It really is as simple as taking your final product and hitting Y to split the mesh and P \> Selection, to make a new object, which in turn makes a new collision box. Hope this helps someone! Also, I’ve seen other models made that you can enter but they are extremely laggy, I’d recommend keeping it to a minimum. ---

Does this mean I can make a house and make everything work like that 🤔 ---

yeah but it would take a lot of time to do, and lag like hell ---

This is super useful and cool! > [@LittleLuke](#): > > and lag like hell Mac has been talking about fixing workshop item crashes and lagging, so maybe it won’t be, eventually. ---

You can! But I’d like to point out that it gets laggy, there are already a couple apartment buildings in game that someone made but they have a ton of individual cubes, and the FPS drop is significant. I’d recommend splitting objects to a bare minimum, only doing what needs to be done like my arch way. ---

yeah simple objects are better and more useful than whole buildings anyway ---

> [@LittleLuke](#): > > yeah simple objects are better and more useful than whole buildings anyway Better for now, with the lag, yes. But I’d disagree on more useful. ---

Yeah, but I think once the workshop lag is fixed, having prebuilt structures would be very useful to some more casual builders, especially on flatgrass. ---
