 The SurfaceType Enum for the surface property has 9 numbers:
| ||
| Enum | Name | Description |
| 0 | Smooth | Does not form a bond with any other surface, except Weld. |
| 1 | Glue | Forms a loose bond with other surfaces. |
| 2 | Weld | Forms a strong bond with other surfaces. |
| 3 | Studs | Only forms a weld-like bond with inlet surfaces. |
| 4 | Inlet | Only forms a weld-like bond with studded surfaces. |
| 5 | Universal | Forms weld-like bonds with Weld, Studs, Inlet and itself. |
| 6 | Hinge | Forms a hinge-like bond with other surfaces, with free movement. |
| 7 | Motor | Forms a hinge-like bond with other surfaces, without free movement. A motors behavior depends on the surface input. |
| 8 | SteppingMotor | Same as Motor. |
| 9 | Unjoinable | Will prevent ROBLOX's building tools and the studio's built-in tools, as well as some user-made tools, from creating joints between parts using this surface. Excluding this particularity, this surface type currently works like the Smooth SurfaceType. |
The following table explains how SurfaceTypes work:
| SurfaceType | Weld | Universal | Studs | Inlet | Glue | Smooth | Unjoinable |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Weld | Weld | Weld | Weld | Weld | Weld | Weld | Weld |
| Universal | Weld | Snap | Snap | Snap | Glue | No Joint | No Joint |
| Studs | Weld | Snap | No Joint | Snap | Glue | No Joint | No Joint |
| Inlet | Weld | Snap | Snap | No Joint | Glue | No Joint | No Joint |
| Glue | Weld | Glue | Glue | Glue | Glue | Glue | Glue |
| Smooth | Weld | No Joint | No Joint | No Joint | Glue | No Joint | No Joint |
| Unjoinable | Weld | No Joint | No Joint | No Joint | Glue | No Joint | No Joint |
Notes
- The Unjoinable SurfaceType currently acts like the Smooth SurfaceType, but it might in the future not form joints with any surface. This is currently being debated by the admins.
