There is an option to uncheck Build Sides. When using the New Shape tool to build Stairs. For custom pivot positioning – select a vert – use Set Pivot.Use Centre Pivot selection from the toolbar.The pivot will usually be in an incorrect position.Things to be aware of when using this feature: Use Detach Faces to detach parts of a mesh to a new game object, useful for cleaning up meshes, especially if you have created some ngons. There are many circumstances where you will need to flip normals to invert the faces of your geometry, ProBuilder has a feature called Flip Face Normals located in the toolbar (you will need to first select some faces on your mesh): By default, this is On so be aware when you go to select multiple vertices to modify them. To select vertices that are hidden out of view on the opposite side of the geometry, you will need to ensure Select Hidden: On is enabled. To do this you need to click on the + button next to the Collapse Vertices option on the toolbar and select Collapse To First in the Options menu pop-up (be aware that all future Collapse Vertices will now Collapse To First if this checkbox remains enabled): When collapsing vertices, you might want to collapse them to the first vertex that you selected. Start by boxing out familiar shapes, it’s a lot easier to add geometry than to clean up complex geometry. Now, I’ll share some tips and gotchas which I found are useful things to know, but first, if you are new, remember to start simple, common mistake is to start pushing too much geometry, this can become very complicated fast. In general, tooltips can take 500ms or so to show, in ProBuilder this can be instant by holding the Shift key when hovering the mouse cursor over the feature buttons in the toolbar.
Use backspace to delete verts/faces/edges – Delete will delete the object.
Multi-select faces/edge/verts – Hold Shift and LMB. Use H, J, and K keys to chose between Verts, Edges and Faces selection modes. Here are some great keyboard shortcuts that’ll get you building and modifying meshes in no time:Īlt + C – collapse verts (this will merge all selected verts into one vertex, centred at the average of all selected points):Ĭtrl + Z – Undo – same as anything in Unity.Įscape key – reverts to object selection mode. I should mention this is not a step by step tutorial, but I will be sharing helpful tips to getting started in using the tools available to you. So, I wanted to share some tools and tips around using ProBuilder for the first time because it is an excellent tool! If you are a noobie to 3D or an experienced modeller, this post will provide you with some great insights into getting started with ProBuilder. The goal of this blog post is to help you to overcome any barriers and start you on the right path to having fun playing with this toolset, using it efficiently and effectively to mitigate any risk of becoming frustrated. Seeing ProBuilder become part of the engine is a delight, one that I cannot stop smiling at. A personal wish of mine is to have mesh modification tools in Unity.
