# Roblox Studio Basics

## Basics of Roblox Studio

If you start building your obby above the grey baseplate, your player will just fall harmlessly onto the baseplate rather than dying when they miss their jump. That doesn’t exactly give your player the challenge you want them to have. To remove the baseplate, you’ll need to use the Explorer window.

### Explorer Window

The Explorer window is typically to the right of your workspace and lists all the objects within your game. You can use the Explorer to select and work with parts in your game, even if you can’t find them in the 3D view.

### Delete the Baseplate

Click on the Baseplate and delete.  On a PC, you can also right click or on a Mac, you can two finger tap.

### Creating a Player Start

The first thing to do when creating a game is determine where players start. The SpawnLocation is where a player appears in the world at the start of the game or after falling off a platform. Without a SpawnLocation, the player might appear somewhere randomly and fall to their doom.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://www.computerscience.io/roblox-studio/roblox-studio-introduction/roblox-studio-basics.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
