[somber folio]

Does anyone have any ideas on how I could make quick mazes with Probuilder? Im having trouble constantly measuring the hallway widths and i dont want to spend too much time making the level.

[plush crypt]

make prefabs out of walls. use a topdown view in ortho , use a maze reference photo underneath, trace it

[somber folio]

Is there any way i can edit the increment of the unity move tool?

because my movement is grind like and i cant just use any maze

grid

[plush crypt]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/GridSnapping.html
or better use progrids com.unity.progrids

[somber folio]

Thanks man

[fast summit]

hello guys sorry I got situation here

about to select the entire dark brown color using selection by color

turns out it selects the whole mesh

is there something I've been missed ?

[raven creek]

How can I turn on my snapping in probuilder it's turn off by default?

[plush crypt]

are you using progrids?

[raven creek]

No, actually I am using Unity 2021.3 and imported pro builder but pro grid didn't come along and I totally forgot about pro grid, I need to import it some how, thanks for your guidance mate

[plush crypt]

i think you can use built in grid, but progrids is better. just add by name , the com.unity.progrids package

[raven creek]

the problem is I can't find progrid

okay thanks

[finite cliff]

click on the plus
and select add by name
then you can add the name that @plush crypt told you

[ebon loom]

is there a quake3 map ready for unity anywhere or a working quake3 map converter to unity? i need it mainly to test movement

[young vapor]

look into RadiantMapToWavefrontObj in google

[coral light]

I'm having some issues with tiling in ProBuilder UV Editor. I have to offset the texture in the editor so it could tile correctly, but it still doesn't fix the other faces. This is with Auto-Mapping enabled. Is there a way to get the textures to tile correctly by default?

[barren oasis]

hello im searching for someone who can help me for my game im a scripter btw

[lunar cliff]

Lambda Logo in the wild!

[karmic trench]

Am I just being extremely blind or is there no button to actually BUILD the object?

I know that you can "draw" it in the scene, but then the sizes you can set would be pointless

[plush crypt]

click it somewhere and press enter or something

[karmic trench]

Already tried that does nothing :/

in the video i was watching it looked like this, looks like they completely overhauled this window

(was from this year)

[plush crypt]

hm should be able to hover the mouse and it should show up.

[karmic trench]

I only see a small yellow dot, clicking does nothing and when I hold & drag I can draw the shape

[plush crypt]

shift click i think creates the shape iirc

[karmic trench]

thank you how did i not think of that

[karmic trench]

"Freeze Pivot" put the pivot for the quad all the way back there, could someone tell me how to fix that?

[torn basin]

freeze pivot puts the object's pivot at the world origin

you can fix it with any of the tools that modify a mesh's pivot

[nimble tundra]

I'm trying to scale a plane to use with polybrush, but whenever you scale it the vertex's arent multiplied, so if you scale it to say 30x, then the vertexs are so far apart you cant use polybrush well anymore. Any suggestions? sorry for beginner question

[nimble tundra]

^

[plush crypt]

dont use the scale tool and move the vertex by gizmos ?

[unique flint]

is there a way to delete only a certain area on a wall to make room for a door in probuilder?

[plush crypt]

yeah make some cuts with insert edge loop or use Slicing tool

[unique flint]

ok thanks

[unique flint]

is slicing tool a add on

[plush crypt]

my bad they call it Cut Tool https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.probuilder@5.0/manual/cut-tool.html

[unique flint]

ok i tried to cut out a door like thing but it deleted the whole wall insteade of the part i cut

[plush crypt]

you probably did not select the cut in facemode

[plush crypt]

https://youtu.be/L_edNOpC6YY

[unique flint]

i cant find insert edge loop in probuilder

[icy swallow]

I need some help regarding the probuilderize tool and the material editor

the way I'm making models right now is making them in blender, exporting as fbx, probuilderize, and texturing models with the material editor

however for some reason when I probuilderize, I'm getting some parts of the model go black and I don't know how to fix this

I'm going to bed soon so I might not be able to answer

[unique flint]

how do i export my level from unity into blender to finish it up

[plush crypt]

actually Probuilder has an export feature

[plush crypt]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.probuilder@5.0/manual/menu-export.html

[plush crypt]

why even probuilderize if you can use blender ?

[unique flint]

how do you put the actual model into unity from blender i imported it but now its just sitting in my asset bar

[plush crypt]

wdym ? just drag the model on the scene view from assets folder..

[unique flint]

yeah its not working

[plush crypt]

can u show a screenshot

wdym not working

[unique flint]

nvm i fixed it

[unique flint]

now its making me fall through the floor

[ivory ether]

how do i extrude

[unique flint]

you have probuilder right

[ivory ether]

yes

i have been trying for 5 minutes now and idk how to extrude it

[unique flint]

can you send a screenshot of your probuilder menu

[unique flint]

go to tools

[ivory ether]

k

[unique flint]

then probuider

builder*

[ivory ether]

k

[unique flint]

did a menu pop up

[ivory ether]

yes

[unique flint]

ok scroll through that menu till you find extrude

[ivory ether]

ok

thx

[unique flint]

np

you find extrude shreck

shrek

[ivory ether]

ye i did thanks

[unique flint]

np

[barren oasis]

@ivory ether you can also do CRTL+E

[ivory ether]

go do ur chores

[barren oasis]

Yes indeed you can use CTRL+E

[umbral current]

I am trying to make a hole in the wall for the door through the pro builder, but when I stretch those edges, the geometry is ruined where am I going wrong?

[limpid zinc]

If you're trying to make a hole, do you use a boolean subtract to make it?

[umbral current]

No

[umbral current]

I wanted to make a ring through edges and extrude the face inside

[torn topaz]

Can I use boolean operations on runtime through script? If yes, then how?

[strong plinth]

Is there a way to change the default material scale in Probuilder? It would save me a ton of time from having to scale everything up by 8 every time I apply a material to a face.
edit: I now see how to set it to 8 in the UV panel with a button, that helps a bit. But it would still be nice if it could be defaulted to 8.

[royal brook]

just starting out w 3D design here and i have a few issues i'm hoping someone can help with. i'm wanting to start everything at the reference plane of y=0. my grid would be at y=0 and my groundplane would be at y=0, but i can't figure out how to do this with the past couple hours in the editor or online. i'm in the newest editor 2021.3.9f1 and clicking on the Grid Visual dropdown shows a Move To: To Handle / To Origin selection, both of which don't set the grid to y=0. on top of that, after i gave up and just started building something in ProBuilder, i've noticed i can't snap anything to the ground. i fooled around with some of the snap settings but none worked. i set the Grid Snapping Grid Size down to its lowests value 0.0001 and my shape is still a few hairs above the ground shape. tried adjusting both ground and object to no avail, it just won't snap. online videos talk about using ctrl-shift + move to snap things to the ground but that does not work. this is a new install and i expected things to be a little simpler but maybe i'm going about all of this the wrong way? or maybe my default settings somehow got borked? some help getting started would be greatly appreciated!

[plush crypt]

you sure you enabled the built in grid? Anyway generally I find ProGrids to be far superior working with when it comes to probuilder

@royal brook https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.progrids@3.0/manual/index.html

[royal brook]

@plush crypt i'll definately look at that now. i thought i read somewhere that it's built into the Editor now so i thought i was working w it, but the poster might have been talking about ProBuilder. also learning things don't really snap to objects at all in unity. it's more like you make objects w certain uniform measurements and you snap to units on the grid instead. does this sound about right?

[plush crypt]

I'm not sure what you mean by the last part, you can totally make non-uniform and snap to grid. Probuilder lets you also change the pivot to a corner vertex which is usually better for alignment and precision snap. If your center point if off or centered it will snap with offsets

[royal brook]

well you talk about snapping to the grid, but i'm hoping objects can snap to eachother automatically independent of the grid. so i can snap an object to my ground object automatically. but w every attempt i still see a small fractional sized crack where the object and ground meet. i come from 2D design so in photoshop/illustrator you can get perpendicular lines to just snap to eachother seamlessly, but i'm assuming that doesn't happen in unity? also i'm unable to find ProGrids in the Package Manager. turned on 'Pre-release packages', restarted and still don't see it

also, this post from 2020 says ProGrids interferes w ProBuilder anyways?

[plush crypt]

progrids is added by package name

com.unity.progrids

snap to vertex and snap to face normal are also a thing in unity @royal brook

[royal brook]

ok, good to know i'm wrong, was a bit frustrated for a sec

[strong plinth]

The top faces of my object changes materials whenever I change the material of the other faces. Is this a glitch? Is there a way to fix it?

[strong plinth]

Seems like it was just a glitch. It was fixed by reopening unity

I have to keep resetting the uvs and resetting unity for almost every object this glitch happens to 😬
i think it got messed up when I was grouping faces earlier

[plush crypt]

this happen to me before idr how tho

def a bug

[strong plinth]

if you run into it again, -ungroup all faces on object > -reset all uvs > -reset unity

[white hinge]

trying to make a potion bottle, any idea why the top of inside bottle look more red then rest?

[white hinge]

why when i apply texture to my model it splits in dark half lighter half?

[tulip cave]

It's just how lighting works both in Unity and IRL. It will always be darker on the inside because there's no light inside of the "bottle". It would probably be better to just use shader graph for the liquid inside of the bottle to make it more realistic instead of manually assigning colors to the faces.

[white hinge]

ah ok, thanks

[flat wadi]

Not sure if this is the best place to ask, but does anyone know why the EditorExamples scripts which optionally come with Probuilder are giving me errors? Specifically I am trying to use the script RenameNewObjects.cs. This is a new project with probuilder and the editor examples imported.

[obsidian mesa]

thanks

[nimble iron]

Sorry folks, I'm just coming back into using Probuilder, used to be really comfortable with it - now I'm not sure how to edit old geo. How does one turn on the editing functions for a Probuilder block again?

Oh, never mind, I think I've got it.

[crude vapor]

Hey! I'm having a really weird bug while using bezier shapes that didn't happen before

I have HUGE and unusable handles on points

Like

It made me laugh but I cannot work, tried reimporting, repairing and restarting unity but nothing

Also tried to resize gizmos but again, nothing

[manic grove]

What is the correct workflow to convert pro builder map blockout to like final textured map asset

[frigid horizon]

I have never used probuilder but I already love it

[hollow gust]

From what I've seen, most people will export the PB object into an obj file using the PB Export feature, and then edit it it something like Blender before reimporting

Though I'm not entirely sure on the process of replacing the existing geometry in Unity directly

[hollow gust]

It's great until you start running into weird bugs that can only be fixed by restarting unity.

[manic grove]

So export into blender, fix some scuffed geometry, then do regular texturing workflow with like substance painter? And more expensive assets keep as separate objects and use culling/LODs

[hollow gust]

Pretty much

[frail wyvern]

I have an issue with PB that I'm hoping someone can help me solve. I'm making a tool to process the objects I make with PB. The last step of the process is to remove the PB components much like the "Strip ProBuilder Scripts" menu option does. However, some of the classes are sealed so I cant do DestroyImmediate on them. Any ideas on how I can do this?

[torn basin]

Why would sealed prevent you from destroying the component?
It just means you can't derive from it.

Or do you mean that they are internal?

[white perch]

I've been using probuilder for a bit and was not aware of "Snaps", it seems it was deprecated. Are there any other solutions out there to make objects made with probuilder snap into a grid?
Was using pro-grids but that is an "experimental" tool.

[frail wyvern]

Yes I cannot derive from it to get it and delete it.

[torn basin]

you don't need to derive from it to "get it and delete it"

You just need to do GetComponent<TheClass> / TryGetComponent(out TheClass theInstance)

[torn basin]

Ok so that's what I was asking before. That's not due to sealed

It's due to it being private

What you could do is use reflection

Component[] allComponents = newgo.GetComponents<Component>();
foreach (var comp in allComponents) {
  Type t = comp.GetType();
  if (t.FullName.StartsWith("UnityEngine.ProBuilder")) {
    // it's a probuilder component
    DestroyImmediate(comp);
  }
}```
@frail wyvern

[frail wyvern]

Hmmm Okay I can try that.

And the class wasn't private, just sealed.

Cool that works. Great solution @torn basin and thanks!

[torn basin]

it's private

private is the default access modifier

sealed is a red herring here

[frail wyvern]

Oh right.

[hollow gust]

I believe Unity has a built-in snapping system. By holding Ctrl while dragging an object, it should snap to the internal grid and you can changed settings for that in the Editor

[white perch]

Will look into it, thanks!

[plush crypt]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/GridSnapping.html

you can also toggle it on /off

[white perch]

got it to work! tysm!

[barren oasis]

Pro builder greys out the bevel option when selecting an object

[barren oasis]

Are you selecting an edge, if you are, then it shouldn’t do that lol

[barren oasis]

How do I select an edge

[barren oasis]

edge selection mode

[icy geyser]

is it possible to delete edges with probuilder? Like if I want to get rid of an entire edgeloop. I can select them all but deletion deletes the entire object and not just the edges I have selected? 🤔

[pale cliff]

Hey all. Im currently having a problem with probuilder and physics.
I have set up a level, but when i set the colliders to convex it ruins it.
I dont know how to describe it but it like epands the collider so there are no concave Shapes

[barren oasis]

Where do I access it

[barren oasis]

Do you know the basics of probuilder, because thats the 1st thing you learn about probuilder

[barren oasis]

Where do I access it

[barren oasis]

No, and I can't watch a tutorial rn I barely have any internet speed and I need a quick answer

https://docs.unity.cn/Packages/com.unity.probuilder@5.0/manual/modes.html

[barren oasis]

The only one that appears is the vertex one

I don't see the others

[barren oasis]

Oh

[plush crypt]

well why are u making it convex then

not sure why a level would have rigidbody 🤔

[feral notch]

using probuilder how do I hollow out a cube?
I cannot find any tutorials

[barren oasis]

Flip face normals?

I think that’s what you need

[feral notch]

yes

[barren oasis]

So did you hollow it out

[feral notch]

no

[barren oasis]

Well I told you what you need

Flip face normals, there’s an option for that

[feral notch]

So I got it working

but theres another issue

please @ me if you can assist

[willow jolt]

Hitting "Probuilderize" fixes my textures. What is it doing because I need that to happen automatically.
I can't figure out why they are broken in the first place, but I think it is related to UV maps.
When I throw an image on the cube shaped object it comes up as an average color instead of the actual image I'm working with.

[tacit thicket]

I have a strange issue with probuilder

The shape that I made before is disappearing when I click it and the editor throws those errors:

Anyone has any idea how to fix that?

[cinder knot]

Hey there!

Older versions of ProBuilder used to apply a nice prototyping texture on the objects i created. After updating they are all created as a mundane grey. Is this feature deactivated in the new versions or is it something i do wrong? I really liked the old looks of the objects so i d be glad if i can bring this back!

[solar pumice]

You can apply any texture you want to your models. It probably doesn't default do it for you anymore n

[cinder knot]

Hey thnx for the reply .. My issue with that is originally it applied it and it scaled with the items dimensions. If put the texture manually it kinda stretches if the item is bigger than the texture. You know maybe how i can configure the texture to not do that?

[solar pumice]

I don't use probuilder, but it must be using a material that has a shader that projects the texture in world space.

If you just use a standard lit shader (the default one that is selected when creating a material), it'll stretch the texture across the faces

[cinder knot]

Thank you very much i think i ll find the way with that piece of information

[warm grail]

https://www.reddit.com/r/Unity3D/comments/m2w9rn/editor_applicationupdate_hanging_up_on_even_minor/ I'm having the same issue the person in this reddit thread is having any idea on how to fix without removing hours of my work

Im also getting pauses from aplication.UpdateScene btw

[barren oasis]

Sad that ProBuilder doesn’t have Capsules

[plush crypt]

create 3D capsule in unity, select it click Probuilderize , now probuilder has capsule.

[barren oasis]

Oh my. All these years without capsules…

Thanks null

[half wasp]

how do i enable these features? i'm new to probuilder so i have no idea how this works

[barren oasis]

do you have a probuilder mesh selected?

and in your case of "insert edge loop" you should use the edge selection and select edges

[fickle lark]

is this true? can Probuilder be used to make models?

[scarlet valley]

I don't know if this is the right channel, but why is my camera cutting the terrain in scene, and how do I fix it?

hey guys, im a bit new to using probuilder, but im wanting to create cave walls that look good. not just a rocky texture, but with rocks jutting out of them etc. are tehre any tools that can help me create something like that with probuilder?

[scarlet valley]

thank you 👍

[elder carbon]

i have an important question. is the merging objects option works the same as combining meshes?

is it reducing draw calls?

[quartz vigil]

Unity pops up this warning when entering play mode while a prefab with ProBuilderMeshes in it. Should the ProBuilderMesh MonoBehaviour have the [ExecuteInEditMode] attribute? I thought that attribute is being phased out since Prefab Mode became a feature?

[dusty rain]

@scarlet valley your camera's Near clipping plane value (which hides stuff closer than a certain distance from the camera) is set too high. specifically the scene view camera https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/SceneViewCamera.html

[tough smelt]

How do you install ProGrids?

Found it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CfDikSGFQFs

[gusty barn]

anyone know if there's a way to get the color of the material assigned to a face on a mesh? i'm iterating over myMesh.faces and trying to do face.material.color, but I'm getting a null reference exception

i also tried myMesh.GetComponent<MeshRenderer>().sharedMaterials[face.submeshIndex].color but that always returns White

[gusty barn]

figured it out, i was setting face colors via the "apply vertex color" function, which doesn't actually create a submesh material and rather applies the color directly to all the vertices in the face

to calculate the color of a face, i average the colors on all vertices in that face

on a different note tho - calling mesh.Refresh() causes these errors to occur, even if i only fetch the mesh and immediately call Refresh on it

[vital anchor]

guys

does probuilderizing a gameobject increase its vertex count ?

just clicking on "probuilderize" button ...nothing else

does it increase verts sometimes?

thnx in advance

about to ask
what makes a meshes not be able to be extracted with ProBuilderize

I thought any imported meshes from blender is possible to modify with ProBoilderize

*I wanted to modify it's UV that results different as what it shown on blender

Is there a way to dissolve vertices?

Does anyone know how can i fix the over lightning on the edges?

I've got a fairly simple mesh that I want to probuilderize.
However when I do it just completely mangles the mesh, triangles everywhere.
Has anyone experienced this before, is there something I'm doing wrong?

OK, dunno what is causing it but I started with a fresh copy of the mesh and it works fine.
Seems like there are some workflows that completely nuke the mesh invisibly lol

recently my probuilder went off
it refuses to creates new edges when I tried to subdivide it T_T

[fast summit]

about to subdivide whole edges but didn't happen at all

am I missed any steps ?

[dense oyster]

Did you ever fix this?

Having a similar issue

[leaden path]

Sorry, i didnt @dense oyster Im just avoiding using these outside lights while i dont find a solution. If i find something ill share to you

[bleak root]

can anyone explain what is happening here, i saved and closed my project last night and this is what it opens up to. is there any way it can be recovered? i have only used the probuilder 5.0.6 gui with progrids, no scripting yet

[naive crescent]

Am I able to use ProBuilder with imported meshes?
Edit: This was in regards to applying materials and modifying UVs.

Solved:

https://forum.unity.com/threads/probuilder-could-probuilder-edit-or-modify-the-existed-model.538585/

[fast summit]

but sometimes it wen't screwed

like just trying to make a new subdivides from an edges ..

[naive crescent]

Fair enough. I have not experienced that yet. Though it wasn't stated, I was trying to figure out how to apply materials onto imported meshes and change the UVs with ProBuilder's tools.

[fast summit]

you better use blender it's waay more friendly for such a work

[naive crescent]

You mean I can import meshes with materials and not lose them in the process? Didnt realize.

Oh right but the issue here was using importing materials from the Unity Asset store.

Unless of course I can import those to Blender, then I can take care of what I need there.

Google is just useless with that question though.

[bleak root]

?

[naive crescent]

I can put together all the parts I need of a material, but the files come in .mat format which I think might get in the way of importing the pieces that are necessary.

[barren oasis]

Mmmmmmm yes

[plush crypt]

Move it by the corner
put pivot on corner vertex, you're moving also in Center pivot mode

[bleak root]

is there a special way you're meant to save probuilder objects when you're done with them?

[barren oasis]

Its still like that

[barren oasis]

Export

You dont need to, but certainly if youre gonna reuse it you should

[bleak root]

so if you save and exit your project without exporting can you still go back and edit it?

^the probuilder object

[barren oasis]

Of course

[bleak root]

so why did this happen

[barren oasis]

That a bug with ProBuilder (You got unlucky)

[bleak root]

how do you prevent it or is it just random

[barren oasis]

Id say its pretty rare, you can reinstall ProBuilder into the project and see if it fixes

[bleak root]

thanks for the response ill try that

[plush crypt]

You put the pivot on corner ? Are you using progrid ?

[bleak root]

should i be worried that im getting this error every time i save the scene

[barren oasis]

Im just using default snapping tool

[forest mango]

hope his works in this channel, i have a problem with progrids i just bought an asset for models of a house and the prefabs are intended to use pro grids but nothing aligns up. any reason or way to easily fix this?

[plush crypt]

Yuck… did you set Pivot to vertex in probuilder ?

[forest mango]

i did

nvm got everything to work

[barren oasis]

Yeah I did, I’ll try again later today

Is default snapping really that bad?

[plush crypt]

nahh but imo progrids just provides a better visual for the grid and you can resize. Idk maybe just me but feeks like the unity one kinda took some progrids code and gimped it

[barren oasis]

Those 2 snapping tools are created in C# right?

I have position snapping on Runtime (moving objects with snap) which uses Mathf.Floor in the code, and mine is exactly the same as the default snapping tool and it doesn’t line up with the grid JUST like in the screenshot

[plush crypt]

not sure what you mean here

can you put the pivot mode and show the arrow gizmos for the object in object mode

[barren oasis]

I’ve basically recreated the default snapping tool using Mathf.Floor, maybe it uses that function to?

[plush crypt]

You would have to see where ur pivot actually is then and where the grid intersections are

[barren oasis]

Well last time I tried to change it, it was on the very corner of the object, like it usually is

But it still didn’t snap to the grid properly

I am away from my pc rn but when I get on I’ll show you

[barren oasis]

hey guys, im watching a tutorial with using plane as a terrain, but the guy never actually shows the keybinds, in the 1st image he makes a landscape with a plane, then in the second image they just rise walls up from the landscape, anybody know how to do this?

(this is with probuilder)

[plush crypt]

not sure about the keybind rn but pretty sure they just extruded the edges , holding shift(or mayb alt) and green arrow while they're selected

[barren oasis]

I am kind of confused as to what an edge loop means. What does it mean for a series of edges to be directly connected?

[whole prawn]

edges that connect through the middle of 4-way junctions

[red lintel]

What is a junction?

[whole prawn]

please

[red lintel]

Would the parts newly highlighted in green count as being part of the edge loop?

[whole prawn]

The original image literally highlights the edgeloop

starting from the originally selected edge

[red lintel]

Why would the newly highlighted parts not count as being part of the edge loop? Don't the edges connect through the middle of 4 way junctions?

[whole prawn]

starting from the originally selected edge

The Select Edge Loop tool selects an edge loop from each selected edge

Hi! Is it possible to show a preview of a ProBuilder model when it's a prefab? It would make my life a lot easier when browsing my ProBuilder assets.

Something like this:

[plush crypt]

possibly export them as actual models

[cedar kernel]

Does anyone know how to fix all zero area faces in an object? I'm getting an error when trying to create an edge loop and I'm thinking it might be because I've accidentally overlapped some faces together, but I'm not sure where.

[chrome lichen]

It is the map of a game that they hired me

[ruby sky]

Hey! How do I de-subdivide

without using undo?

I subdivided a game object too far and its crashing unity now ^>^

^^^^^^

[barren oasis]

The only way is to undo

[ruby sky]

I don't believe you

That doesn't make any sense

Cant I go into the back end?

[barren oasis]

Well I don’t see an option to Unsubdivide bro

[ruby sky]

I've spent 1-2 hours looking also found nothing

[barren oasis]

So when you open unity it crashes because of the object

Or what

[ruby sky]

Thats bullshit, I need to subdivide, do some shit with that subdivision, reduce subdivisions, Do some other shit

I cant ctrl z inbetween those

No

its just

Slows performance

Can take 30 seconds to load the project if its active

[barren oasis]

Show me the object

Is it reallly worth a lot to you

[ruby sky]

Youre welcome to see

but what will that do?

[barren oasis]

Select it and screenshot it

I wanna see how much it’s subdivided

[ruby sky]

I have a holographic shader on it

Which is pretty heave on unity

that IN COMBINATION with the fuckign subdivisions

Just causes unity to crash

and take like an hour

[barren oasis]

Is it really hard to re create it

[ruby sky]

No I need that many subdivisions

to make the holes

accurately

Well

I could probably do it

BUT regardless

what the fuck

[barren oasis]

Then why do to un subdivide it

If you need that many

[ruby sky]

Because I want to 1. smooth edges

and 2. I'm fairly certain subdividing an object that much fucks unity performance

Just laggs out my project

Go and try subdivide an object a bunch see how slow unity goes

[barren oasis]

I know it lags it

[ruby sky]

Well its making me have a panic attack

just the fact that their is no UN subdivide

button

[barren oasis]

Don’t you think it’s better to just make a dice cube in blender

[ruby sky]

At this point yes, fuck probuilder

[barren oasis]

ProBuilder shouldn’t be used for this type of things, it’s for levels

It’s not ProBuilder fault

[ruby sky]

Surely the opposite of a function should exist

beyond crtl + z

I want to look around the back end

I'm fairly sure its attached to the game object

[barren oasis]

What do you mean back end

[ruby sky]

the amount of sub divisions

Hmmm

good point

somethign attached to the object

determines the amount

of subdivisions

[barren oasis]

Give me a second the tree is about to break my window

[ruby sky]

hahah okie

[barren oasis]

For as long as I know, only spheres and cylinders and tubes contain that data

And even if custom objects contained that data, changing it would either probably break the mesh or do nothing

[ruby sky]

Its just a cube

And I've punched holes in it

Its super basic

Like a unity 3d object cube

But fair

Where would it be

to access?

IF I could

Dont make me go to belnder

nooooooooo

[barren oasis]

Most likely ProBuilder mesh component. But again even if it did exist, you’d have to reset the shape to make it do anything

[ruby sky]

good point

[barren oasis]

You could literally just remake it. Or (the smart way) do it in a 3d modelling software

[ruby sky]

Yeah

You're right

Alright

Fuck

Well

This is the first

and LAST

Time I'll be using probuilder

To the creator of this software

I hope

You have

A

Good day

Bye

[barren oasis]

You misused it, ProBuilder is amazing

[ruby sky]

I actually disagree so hard

You make a function in a tool

That cannot be undone

Unless you undo it immediately

And it is so precice

that it lags out unity

No foresight

[barren oasis]

And I have an idea to reduce lag, you can save it as an asset

[ruby sky]

Mmmmmm

TRUE

Save as assett

and be done with probuilder

Ok

Solved

DONE

Genius

Winning?

[barren oasis]

And you use that function completely wrong

It’s never been made for modelling this, it’s a Blockout tool

[ruby sky]

Yeah whatever

I went rogue

No one said there was right or wrong

Until there was a problem

I feel like even if I was making a level

I would want the ability to subdivide

do shit

and then reduce subdivisions

no?

Its not really living up to the PRO

in the builder

noobBuilder

Well anyway @barren oasis really do appreciate the help champion

Fucken got there

[barren oasis]

Did saving it reduce lag

Or exporting it whatever it’s called

[ruby sky]

Yes!

Just exported the mesh

Still baffles me why there isn't an un-subdivide feature LOL

but I walk away

[barren oasis]

Good

[ruby sky]

@barren oasis

Blender POG

[barren oasis]

Yeah

[ruby sky]

Btw, ran into a bunch of issues with the ProBuilder object

I think you're right, just for designing levels.

[barren oasis]

Yeah, not good for modeling normal models

[pliant summit]

im making a map for my vr game but im keep making it too big for the vr player

pls help me

[barren oasis]

late response, but are you able to scale the vr player up, or the map down?

Or, you can maybe build everything around the average height of a person, i believe its 1.6m?

[woven lake]

Make it smaller?

[rough jay]

where is the boolean in probuilder?

[sick spindle]

according to docs its a experimental feature

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.probuilder@5.0/manual/boolean.html

if its something very important for your usecase i would explore if you are better off using a tool like SabreCSG instead of ProBuilder or doing things in a 3d package

[shut pier]

i need help with somin

when i probuilderize a fbx file parts of the mesh dissapear?

[shadow kindle]

Hey @shut pier , can you share a screenshot of that by any chance ? I've seen that happening when the mesh was not clean enough and that had to be fixed at the Fbx level iirc

[shut pier]

oh i dont need that anymore i dont probuilderize my meshes anymore

to be real quick , i wanna know if i've probuilderized hundreds of objects and exported out those mesh ...then how can i reinput all those mesh into the mesh filters of those particular gamneobjects once for all...?

[hallow tulip]

im relatively new to unity and i just started messing around with pro builder to make a level but i have this issue where i get a missing reference error when i delete a probuilder made object

does anyone know why this might be?

all help is appreciated

[hallow tulip]

i was able to delete the objects without any errors by removing all the of the objects components first

not sure if thats how it is intended but at least it is a solution

[plush crypt]

sometimes it bugs out like that for me too

I just clear error and move on tho

something in the editor windows messing with cache of the object no longer there or something

[plush crypt]

If you mean a batch process maybe with an editor script to like put all the meshes into mesh filters all at once, can't think of how atm sry. Why would you not just drag the fbx exported into to scene and let it apply all that for you

[vital anchor]

cuz, there were lots of objects 300+

whatever , work is done

[woeful edge]

very new to Unity and probuilder, but do I have to install ProBuilder to every project I do, or is there a way to have it install on all new projects?

[solar pumice]

You download it once, but you import it per project.

[woeful edge]

Also is there a way to have resizing apply to one direction of an axis?

Cause right now I notice if you try rescaling or resizing an object it goes in both directions of an axis

I'm more used to Roblox Studio so that is why I ask

[ebon widget]

Hi @woeful edge ! With ProBuilder, you can avoid resizing (it's messy). Instead, use either the shape handles (see gif), or mesh editing. That'll give you exact control, and leave your transform component at a nice clean (1,1,1) 🙂

[woeful edge]

Where is the gif located

[jovial quest]

So I've got one material that can dissolve objects. When I apply it on probuilder objects the material is partially dissolving the mesh whereas the shader variable handling that is set to 1 (meaning no dissolve at all). The left cube is a probuilder cube and the right one a normal unity cube. They both have the same material of course. Any idea what may cause this issue ?

Been working on a reconstruction of my study, finally got everything in and accurate and lovely. Thought I may as well try and make a nice render of it to finish the mini project off. Have now spent 2x as long on just getting the lightmap working as I did on any of the measuring or modelling haha.

Does anyone have any idea why these streaks are appearing? I'm pretty sure its the lightmap UV's, but I have no idea how to modify them since they are read only. As per the second picture, the baked lightmap UV's seem to be stretched, which I feel would cause the streaks.

All objects are static, as are the lights. Theres a point light on the ceiling, a directional light out the window and an area light behind the door. All set to baked.

Have trigged the 'lightmap uv's' option on all objects, with 'automatically generate lightmaps' option enabled. Have tried repair - rebuild all pb objects, replacing my light settings, changing all manner of light settings, making utterly perfect UV1's, and other things I cant remember.

Any advice absolutely welcome, im stumped right now!

Quick question: Is Probuilder abandoned or are there more features planned? If not, is there any good alternative?

There are assets on the store. But the best alternative is to just model in a proper program like Blender.

Try exporting the models as obj and then reimporting and recalculating ligtmap uvs

@plush crypt upon extruding the faces this effect happens

[plush crypt]

What am I looking at, which efffect?

[barren oasis]

so probuilder is only letting me make shapes on vertices on other meshes. any help? theres no plus sign on the "new shape" button, its just a toggle

[runic egret]

Before you told me to merge all the faces of my wall then extrude them. That is what I did but upon doing that what the screenshot shows is what happened

[plush crypt]

Uh I said you can merge them not necessarily all of them,
You still didn't say what exactly I'm looking at? "what happened"

[plush crypt]

can you explain with words ? it just look like you're extruding the wrong way (inwards)

[runic egret]

I'm trying to extrude the wall (In which is a plane). In the video it doesn't make the wall larger it makes it a room as the plane only has 1 face. My idea is to make the plane a cube but the initial extruding doesn't do that.

[plush crypt]

Extruding clearly worked

you see the plane is now thick

you just did it the wrong way?

you extrude outward typically unless you're closing a gap like doorways/windows

[runic egret]

no matter which way i extrude it does the same room looking think

[runic egret]

if anybody else can help please tell me

[runic egret]

Basically how can i un-probuilderize an object?

[obsidian sun]

I came back to an old project of mine to hopefully finish it but when I returned I couldn't see any materials/textures. I know it was because I fiddled with something in probuilder but I can't seem to remember what. I placed a camera in the map to check and it still has the textures and materials in game but not the editor. If somebody could help that would be greatly appriciated

[plush crypt]

get out of debug mode

put it shaded or something like that

[obsidian sun]

Thanks, couldn’t figure it out for the longest time

[elfin lantern]

I am on URP, and I've imported the URP samples for Probuilder, but the texture is still pink. The pipeline is in use, the material says URP, the package is installed, but pink it remains.

[plush crypt]

did you set it inside the Editor Preferences -> ProBuilder

[elfin lantern]

The default material? Yeah, that's how I got it to be pink instead of a flat-shaded cube at least.

[plush crypt]

it's strange then because it's using a different shader

[elfin lantern]

What shader should it be using? Maybe something got borked when I did an upgrade to URP through the menu

[plush crypt]

yea Ima double check on my project

[elfin lantern]

I uninstalled Probuilder and the samples multiple times and it kept coming back as this one

I can even open it in Shader Graph and it looks like everything checks out. It's got the right texture and everything.

[plush crypt]

should just be this

oh wait it is the same

[elfin lantern]

Indeed it should be

[plush crypt]

that's strange tbh lol

[elfin lantern]

Guess I'll give it the ol' shrug of god and delete my library and see what comes next

[plush crypt]

true, I would def do that
or do something desperate like somehow trying to use the URP converter or something lol

[elfin lantern]

This whole thing started when I tried to use that. A VFX asset I bought came with a utility script to swap out the prefab's shaders to URP but I checked the code for it and it doesn't touch this one

The material was working fine before that

[plush crypt]

Oh like third party converter ? that's weird

[elfin lantern]

I just looked through it, it's so they don't have to have twice as many prefabs to support standard and URP, it goes through them and swaps the shaders on all the materials

Makes sense since it's like 500 effects and that'd be a lot of extra space to have to kinds of them

[plush crypt]

maybe it detected it , I recall someone had a converter in Gaia or one of those that came with their custom converter it put other non-terrain material assets in there by accident

[elfin lantern]

It touches some of the shaders in Shader Graph/ but not this one

[plush crypt]

yeah it looks like it's looking there but specific effects

strange

[elfin lantern]

Still reimporting the library by the way. I'm not on my usual dev machine and this laptop's severely underpowered

[plush crypt]

I feel that , on my friends macbook 2014 xD

[elfin lantern]

Doesn't help that I have 500 VFX assets in it right now. Never got them fully loaded to find out which ones I wanted to keep because I got distracted by them breaking my terrain material

[plush crypt]

that's a lot of VFX lol

[elfin lantern]

Yeah I just got a big mega pack on sale and spun up a test project to mess around with them and ran into this odd probuilder thingy

[plush crypt]

were the other materials fine , it's just probuilder right ?

[elfin lantern]

I didn't really have much else in the project but the capsule still looked fine

[plush crypt]

Oh ok just curious if other urp ones were good, I noticed my graphics is set to a quality setting but probably because I used URP template instead of manually adding urp

[elfin lantern]

Okay, finally finished. The ol' Unity standby worked. Textures are back and I'm pretty sure the VFX are still on URP mode

[plush crypt]

Ah nice! so just corrupt cache then?

[elfin lantern]

I guess

When i proBuilderize my GameObject, it become black.
And see what happen when i cut a part.

Folks is there a way to get a probuilder plane and generated a 2d array of verticles in a way i can undertand which one is which ?
Im not an newbie programmer but first time getting into 3D - could not get the idea of how to find the correct verticle to modify.

The idea is to procedurally implement a heightmap (according to specific game rules) in a probuilder plane.

how do you fix

it used to snap

before I installed realtime csg

but idk how to fix

[earnest oasis]

Moving this to the appropriate channel:
Is there a decent workflow for resetting the pivot of a Shape without locking you out of editing the Shape properties?

Somehow, I ended up with my shape pivot at 395.96, 0.001, 595.84, but when I Center Pivot, the Pro Builder Shape component and Edit Shape window tell me I have to Reset Shape (and thus the pivot) to use the Shape properties again 😩

use whatever you're comfortable using, they both work . Probuilder is easier to blockout because everything is already in the scene + game

[fickle lark]

Is it possible to apply certain textures on one face of the object only rather than every single face of the object?

[fickle lark]

it literally says size

the size is the dimenstions btw :)

[fickle lark]

how do i fix this weird gap in between? I tried using the fill hole tool for a while but it covers up the entire thing rather than the small rectangle. This is a doorway.

[plush crypt]

instead of deleting the square in the hole first, hold shift and move face until size of doorframe then press delete

@fickle lark

[fickle lark]

Sorry, i wasn't pinged!

Let me try this

works like a charm, thanks!

[spiral latch]

does anyone here use probuilder on macOS? I've been having some major problems with it in the editor -- https://forum.unity.com/threads/probuilder-is-very-flickery-on-macos.1417005/

[dull trench]

How can I install ProBuilder's ProGrid package in 2022.2.14? I've enabled Pre-release Packages

[dull trench]

can't find it in 2021.3.22f1 either

[dull trench]

Why does my ProBuilderDefault material look like this? I'm using URP

[plush crypt]

You have to go to the package Import the URP material , place it in the preferences - probuilder as default material

you can drag also same material onto this to fix the current one after preferences was set

[dull trench]

perfect, thank you!

also I just installed (by name) com.unity.progrid and got it that way, I guess it's hidden or something

[plush crypt]

It’s an official package but it’s still on experimental version and won’t come out any time soon because Unity put their own grid snap tools

[dull trench]

It didn't even show up when I enabled the experimental packages... Also, do the built-in snap tools work with probuilder? I couldn't figure how to snap a probuilder cube to the built-in grid when trying to create it

[plush crypt]

It should , it has to be in World coordinates tho
https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/GridSnapping.html

[dull trench]

same thing with the com.unity.ai.navigation package?

[dull trench]

Why is my pivot offset from this object? I just created a cube and set dimensions

[plush crypt]

com.unity.ai.navigation is official now and not experimental
it's gonna be separate package in 2022+

[dull trench]

I see, the docs had me add it by name as well

[barren oasis]

Could someone help me?

I try to extrude edges for walls of a Office Room... but I cant drag the new edges

[barren oasis]

When I want to make a building with rooms

is it easier for beginners to use probuilder or to use an external program like blender?

[junior sorrel]

probuilder is only good for making mockups, it does not replace a tool like blender or even serve well as an introduction to poly modelling

[barren oasis]

can probuilder properly create slope-y terrain like this? The blender export trial and error is really tiring

[plush crypt]

arch tool maybe ?

[vestal crane]

ProBuilder is lagging EXTREEEMLY intense. Unity Version 2023.1.0b11 with ProBuilder 5.0.6
When selecting non-ProBuilder Objects there isn't any lag.

[daring garden]

how do i make hexagon in probuilder

im completely new at this

[junior sorrel]

it is not designed to make detailed geometry, it is designed for greyboxing/mockups, so while you can make curved surfaces with some effort, it won't be convenient or pretty

[junior sorrel]

if you need to speed up your iterations of gameplay relating to terrain like you've show, i'd suggest you make your own spline based mesh generator in unity

[copper topaz]

How do I have make a circular room, so where it loops around? Currently I’m just using edge loops and face removing stuff but I feel like there is a better way

[plush crypt]

arch tool

360 degrees

[copper topaz]

ok

what about a square look

[plush crypt]

make a cube and flip the normals

[copper topaz]

loop* sorry

where you can go in a loop

Around

[plush crypt]

can you draw an example ?

[plush crypt]

wdym a loop

like a roundabout?

[copper topaz]

Like this, where you can walk inside the grey area

[plush crypt]

yeah make each corner a 90° arch the rest are just hallways

[copper topaz]

ok I’ll try. Ty

[plush crypt]

use the Cone tool and use 6 sides

@daring garden

[low vigil]

snapping works on some objects but on others it doesn't

[low vigil]

or cylinder tool

[low vigil]

still no answer

[barren oasis]

Hey guys is there a way to use Probuilder and Polybrush together i cant seem to use PolyBrush on a mesh thats made by probuilder

[rare thicket]

Ok so hey everyone, I have a very simple question. I'm using the pro builder to make an appropriate map for my game, right now I'm trying to make proper walls to surround the area, but I'm able to just drag the line across the terrain rather than lock it and have it move from block to block (so that I can do it more precisely). Can anyone tell me how to switch it?

[hexed obsidian]

how could i make a simple bridge in probuilder? im just extruding cubes and such but how can i make the "railing" without it getting messed up if i try to intersect down the middle?

[scarlet hearth]

Is there a way to delete a large detailed rectangular chunk of a wall I made in probuilder without deleting each individual face?

[uncut lance]

I feel like this is more active than Unity Forums, so i'm just gonna post my problem here
So apparently my scene just goes away to pure Unity dark when I turn on Post Processing effect in the menu. Before and afters posted above

[magic gust]

I have edited the original cube using probuilder, now the colliders are not correct?

see how the ball is just under the mesh

[plush crypt]

you manually added a box collider, maybe you outta show the gizmos of the border

[vagrant flicker]

Has anyone had trouble with the probuilder uv editor? I've experienced a lot of a: weird uv unwraps and b: the uv editor has really weird behaviour when moving around uv sections, such as moving random verticies in a visual glitch way, etc

[minor badge]

Hey, can someone tell me why sometimes when I use the cut tool I can cut up to 2 vertices into the face before it doesn't let me do any more?

[minor badge]

Please, genuinely giving me problems here.

[plush crypt]

take a video what you mean

[vital anchor]

I just imported a wind turbine from blender to unity

i Probuilderized it

Changed uv mapping

but after exporting, that mesh got deformed

i probuilderized the original mesh again....and did do nothing this time...just exported

still it got deformed

what should i do?

it looks so weird and uncommon issue...anyone please?

[versed juniper]

When you import a model into Unity the model's faces get chopped into tris.
It normally works fine with quads, but if you have any 5 sided, 6 sided etc. faces it will probably mangle some of them.

You could try if the mesh import settings help.
Maybe disabling "optimize mesh" would affect it?
Or the "keep quads"-option, dunno.

[vital anchor]

thank you

[pallid dawn]

i made a new file and while reimporting probuilder all the probuilder objects disappeared and i got this error. What happened?

[indigo breach]

Hiya folks, I'm just learning how to use Probuilder and trying to make a basic house - but the view settings seem to have suddenly gone wack (I'm not sure if I've accidentally toggled something). When my scene view approaches my shapes, they slice out so I can see through to the next objects, which is making it difficult to try to look at how those edges intersect up close. Any idea what's causing it?

This is probably something very simple, but I'm a bit stumped right now since I'm new to Unity overall.

^ Screenshot for reference - I'm not even up very close yet.

[whole prawn]

You are in orthographic view https://unity.huh.how/interface/scene-view/scene-view-gizmo

[indigo breach]

😮‍💨 Ah yes, very good - thank you!

[autumn ridge]

i know that i can hold shift to select multiple faces in probuilder, but is there a hotkey so i can select faces on drag instead of the standard rectangle selection?

[knotty quail]

I need help, does anyone know how to make the probuilder arrows center when selecting multple objects?

mine is doing this and idk what i did

it used to go into the center most point of all those lines

please ping when responding 🙏

[autumn ridge]

you might have another piece selected off camera, causing the arrows to allign to a new center

[knotty quail]

fixed, and it wasnt

i has the wrong mode selected

[pallid dawn]

I exported my project, and when I opened it in a new file and redownloaded probuilder, all of the meshes for probuilder seem to have disappeared. How do I fix this?

[hollow grove]

I have no idea where to post this question at, but with Polybrush, is there anyway to get it to act like the terrain system and have a 'set height' feature? Or any way to replicate said terrain system feature with it.

Only posted here because it's related to ProBuilder I think lol

[left topaz]

Im looking to make low poly terrain for my game, any suggestions on the best way to make such terrain?

[eager forge]

Does anyone why some faces of this door face are not visible? This is a completely new project and freshly created Door Shape

[plush crypt]

I'm guessing it's a setting to not draw faces you're not supposed to see

nothing out of the ordinary so far

You could probably try shift selecting the vertexes or edges and Fill Hole

[eager forge]

It only seems to happen with the door shape, when the game is run the faces are still missing, I don't get why it does this

[eager forge]

That doesn't work for some vertices

[plush crypt]

I just said why

it's not "missing"

technically you're not supposed to see those faces

they need to be slotted in a wall you wouldn't see those faces at all

it's a performance thing, no point in rendering a face you won't see

[eager forge]

ah ok thanks, in this case I just want to use it as frame but not as a door within walls. I couldn't find that setting however, do you know where to turn this off?

I guess it's probably easier to use a cube as a base and extrude a bunch of times

[plush crypt]

there usually is an option for FILL like stairs but never used doorframe much, so I guess they omitted the setting.

but yeah I just make 3 cubes for a frame, or you can make it one piece ofc

[eager forge]

I have merged every shape into one of 4 "Quarter" object (4 quarters + the bridges make up the whole arena), because only this way I could mirror them correctly.
Later on I want to create monsters that walk on navmeshes and a player that can climb and stick to walls.

Will these bigger and complex objects cause problems when trying to implement this? Or can you select climbable walls and monster-walk spaces by faces rather than by objects and this is not an issue?

[half horizon]

Quick question, some of my probuilder objects don't re-tile their uvs when changing them like normally do so the texture gets super warped, any buttons or hotkeys im missing?

[autumn ridge]

how should i export this mesh ? with these settings the mesh that gets saved ( the one on the right) doesnt remember the vertex colors ive set and the mesh is messed up

[vital lake]

Hey, I was taking a look in this ProBuilder example to convert from a regular Mesh to a ProBuilder Mesh, is it the right way or is that any simpler way of doing it?
I want to merge some mesh in runtime, when I build my map, so it's done only in the beginning of the scene.
https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/ProBuilder-API-Examples/blob/master/Runtime/Convert Mesh to Editable/MakePrimitiveEditable.cs

[vital lake]

I merge two planes using ProBuilder, but they still behave as two separated planes. How can I actually merge them to be only one plane?

[clever stump]

hello. i currently have a grid snap problem. i cant turn it off if anyone can help i would appreciate it.

the thing is it also happens when i try to move something with that square

[worldly nimbus]

try this? https://youtu.be/nt_yoDTeV_I

[vital lake]

Yes, I tried everything that I could find in the internet, but nothing worked as expected. Then I decided to do it myself and I created a script that generates connected hexagons that share the same vertices, which will handle perfectly what I was looking for. Here is the result:
The blue ones are the one generated by my script btw

[worldly nimbus]

Wow.

[daring garden]

Is it possible to instantly connect two shapes ?

So first you create a cube

Then u want instantly connect a Cylinder on top of it

[radiant brook]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.probuilder@5.0/manual/boolean.html

Speaking of boolean, does anyone know if theres a way to use it with regular meshes?
I'd like to create a skyscraper that's effectively a probuilder cube, then cut bits out for the windows. I've got window meshes, it'd be great if I could just place them on my probuilder cube and have it subtract

[daring garden]

Thx

[teal cosmos]

Is there a way I could increase the edges size on this shape but not the hole in the middle?

[dim sierra]

im making a room with normals flipped, how do i make a doorframe here to a new room

[hollow wharf]

It's nice and simple to make stuff in ProBuilder but I saw some people saying exporting prefabs can be heavy on a computer. The alternative would be importing Meshes - but I don't understand how that's different? Will a mesh just save the shape like a prefab and then I can add materials to each part of it? Or how does that translate into something that can be used in your project? Any advice appreciated, cheers!

[torpid pulsar]

Hi everyone, I'm trying to cut out one shape from another. Imagine the shape I have here with the spheres cut out from the cylinder. Is there a way to make ProBuilder do this?

[junior sorrel]

boolean operations like this are not a reliable way to do polygon modelling, (there is no reliable algorithm for it). if you want to model that way you best use a solid modeller (keyword constructive solid geometry) and not probuilder.

if you want to do with probuilder you have to cut and patch the meshes manually

[plush crypt]

im making a room with normals flipped

[torpid pulsar]

Okay that makes sense I will use a solid modeler

[barren oasis]

what beginner probuilder tutorials would yall recommend

[barren oasis]

how do i make it so that when i set a texture to a object like a wall using probuilder when i scale it or make it thinner or longer how do i make it tile with the same texture like u can with terrain by default

anyone there

[plush crypt]

there are UV options you can play with

[barren oasis]

in the uv editor?

[plush crypt]

yup

I suggest you look in the manual @barren oasis
https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.probuilder@5.0/manual/workflow-texture-mapping.html

[barren oasis]

but like what if i made a cube and scaled it b4 adding probuilder how do i get it to select that cube thing in the uv editor to edit the texture

[barren oasis]

ill try that

[plush crypt]

anything that isn't probuilder needs to be ProBuilderize to use UV editor

[barren oasis]

how do i probuilderize a non probuilder cube

[plush crypt]

like I said, Read the manual

is there a cut tool in unity 2020 version?

[barren oasis]

why wont it let me select the texture to edit in the uv editor after creating a probuilder cube

also why does the texture keep offsetting by default

if so...
then is it possible to force unity to accept long file paths?

[woven lake]

Messed up how? Did you put the right material/shader on the imported mesh? Default unity material doesn't support vertex colors.

[autumn ridge]

after using polybrush and interacting with probuilder my meshes often end up liks this. but that was a problem i somehow got around about a month ago and dont exactly remember how i did it

[surreal token]

how do i change the color of a block

[plush crypt]

https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.probuilder@4.0/manual/workflow-vertexcolors.html

[barren oasis]

Have you tried doing it in blender, then simply using a mesh filter and collider to produce the same effect? Blender makes Booleans easy

[leaden finch]

In old proBuilder, when you had the UV editor window open you can continue a texture across an edge by holding control and clicking an adjacent face. How do you do that in the new probuilder?

I do not want to use texture groups, btw, because it messes up all of my UVs and makes it so I can no longer manipulate faces at all

[minor charm]

hello uh, beginner here, can i ask what these arrows mean?

ive tried to look in the probuilder documentation but cant find it

[barren oasis]

Hi everyone, does anybody know how to fix this issue or can send me a video or something?

"Mesh.uv is out of bounds. The supplied array needs to be the same size as the Mesh.vertices array.
UnityEngine.GUIUtility:ProcessEvent (int,intptr,bool&)"

When I create any object using ProBuilder and try to interact with it using the Sculpt or Painting brushes it always gets messed up and basically make the mesh all broken and not usable anymore.

I am beginner in Unity, so any simple fix and explanation is appreciated. (ChatGPT was not very helpful with this problem).*

Thanks.

[steep sail]

how can i join two rooms that have flipped normals? (probuilder)

[plush crypt]

probably welding their verts or edges?

[woven ice]

Yo, how do I snap the vertices so that the y vector of this edge is equal to the y vector of the other, I hold V and then hover over the other edge's vertex, but it doesn't snap in place, and an error message pops up as shown in the screenshot, any fixes?

[summer peak]

There is a grey rectangle that is stuck on my unity editor

I know its probuilders fault because a couple days ago it was a info pop up box that comes when you hover over a probuilder option

(This isnt the same pop up box, its just a demonstration of what I mean)

It seems that now the text is gone from the pop up box since closing unity, restarting my computer, and opening the project again

Closing the probuilder window doesnt make it go away

I tested opening another project and the grey rectangle is absent, so it seems to be something affecting only one project

Would uninstalling and reinstalling probuilder to a project break anything? I use probuilder heavily in modelling all my environments

[rare quest]

just wondering, but is anyone here familiar with using probuilder on the linux version of Unity, and whether or not it works under the Linux version? I wanna get started on using it for a project I'm working on to replace the over 20 separate manually-placed planes I have since I've been told that's inefficient, so if anyone knows please let me know

[summer peak]

The grey box disappeared btw

Not sure what caused it to do so but after a few days its now gone

[vital salmon]

Probuilder is original product of Unity right?

[plush crypt]

yes they acquired it a while back

it was originally a paid asset (not from unity)

[vital salmon]

They need to fix this

[plush crypt]

agreed. 2021 works fine though, stick to that for now

[vital salmon]

Do I better go back for 2020 or downgrade version 2022 to 2021?

I dont like 2020 actually

[plush crypt]

downgrade isn't easy, did you not make backup before upgrade ? upgrade 2020 to 2021 should be good

Oh my god. How do I just spawn a 1x1 quad.

#🛠️┃probuilder message

[barren oasis]

you make a cube and then merge any edge with another edge beneath it

and then you can move the other edge up or down

[earnest kiln]

i gave up and abandoned my project 🤯 👍

[void hollow]

What about if i had 2 diagonal walls rotated... U have to understand both walls will never have the same diagonal position... How do u align the vertices of both diagonal walls where both walls would then be perfectly aligned...

Is that possible with probuilder...

[barren oasis]

bro

have both of the cubes in the same rotation

and then snap the verticies

I highly suggest you study some trigonometry

[void hollow]

I just told u... Its almost impossible to have 2 diagonal walls to have the same degree of rotation... Vertex snapping doesnt automatically align the vertices together...

[finite atlas]

Just delete the other cube and extrude out one of them?

Im not talking about extrusion atm...

[zinc kettle]

why can't I see the probuilder material?

[latent pulsar]

Hi all, is there a way to create a plane shape in probuilder without any tangents ? Or is there a way in unity to create a mesh flat without any tangents? Or is there a way to remove tangents from a mesh?

[zinc kettle]

just make a cube?

[latent pulsar]

i need the mesh to flat

[zinc kettle]

wdym

[latent pulsar]

2 sided

like terrain

i want to deform it to mimic waves passing thru

[zinc kettle]

you want to have it behave almost like cloth in blender?

[latent pulsar]

yeah i think, i was following this tutorial on using compute shaders to deform a mesh, the mesh in he tutorial has no tangent, when i try with my own pro builder mesh/plane, the compute shader has no effect, it stays flat. Seems like the only thing different is tangents vs no-tangents

I could use the mesh in the code from the tutorial, or install blender i guess, but i feel like there should be a way to make this work in unity directly. The tutorials mesh wont work long term since ill need a bunch of different meshes size later on

[zinc kettle]

I wonder if you could just use the same mesh but scale it and somehow increase the number of points to make it always behave the same

[latent pulsar]

nope, theres no attribute tp modify

i might find a way to support tangent in my shader, than it might work

[plush crypt]

#🛠️┃probuilder message

so a solution i found is to point Mesh.tangent to null when initializing scripts

[solar pumice]

How many times are you going to ask this same question. Create a wall, duplicate it, move it.

If you're going to keep spamming this question, then just assume the answer is "no" to whatever you're trying to do.

[whole prawn]

There is no tool to do this, you would have to make your own.

[solar pumice]

I'm curious to even know what situation this is necessary, when you can just extrude the one wall out to make it longer. 🤷‍♂️

[spark locust]

message got flooded by the duplicate question, so im replying to it

its really annoying because i cant do anything to my map currently because of this

[solar pumice]

That looks like an editor issues, which isn't something you'll be able to fix.

Check for a package update, or try a newer version of Unity

[spark locust]

ill try a newer version of unity, probuilder is up to date

[spark locust]

did not fix it
