## Limitations
Not all property types can be synced by Rojo in real-time due to limitations of the Roblox Studio plugin API. In these cases, you can usually generate a place file and open it when you start working on a project.
Some common cases you might hit are:
* Binary data (Terrain, CSG, CollectionService tags)
* `MeshPart.MeshId`
* `HttpService.HttpEnabled`
For a list of all property types that Rojo can reason about, both when live-syncing and when building place files, look at [rbx_tree's type coverage documentation](https://github.com/LPGhatguy/rbx-tree/tree/master/rbx_tree#coverage).

Plain text files (`.txt`) files are transformed into `StringValue` instances. This is useful for bringing in text data that can be read by scripts at runtime.
## JSON Models
Files ending in `.model.json` can be used to describe simple models. They're designed to be hand-written and are useful for instances like `RemoteEvent`.
A JSON model describing a folder containing a `Part` and a `RemoteEvent` could be described as:
```json
{
"Name": "My Cool Model",
"ClassName": "Folder",
"Children": [
{
"Name": "RootPart",
"ClassName": "Part",
"Properties": {
"Size": {
"Type": "Vector3",
"Value": [4, 4, 4]
}
}
},
{
"Name": "SendMoney",
"ClassName": "RemoteEvent"
}
]
}
```
It would turn into instances in this shape:
<div align="center">
<a href="../images/sync-example-json-model.svg">
<img src="../images/sync-example-json-model.svg" alt="Tree of instances in Roblox" />
</a>
</div>
## Binary and XML Models
Rojo supports both binary (`.rbxm`) and XML (`.rbxmx`) models generated by Roblox Studio or another tool.
Not all property types are supported!
For a rundown of supported types, see:
* [rbxm Type Coverage](https://github.com/LPGhatguy/rbx-tree/tree/master/rbx_binary#coverage)
* [rbxmx Type Coverage](https://github.com/LPGhatguy/rbx-tree/tree/master/rbx_xml#coverage)
