Turning Models/Meshes into Prefabs
Hello there.
I have two objects. One Fence Prefab and one Fence Mesh/Model. Obviously, I would usually use the prefab in my scene.
Now, I accidentally dropped the model into the scene, did not notice it, and multiplied it several hundred times. I wanted to change my prefab, but after changing, I noticed that all the fences in my scene are models and not prefabs. That is not really ideal.
Is there any way to turn the fence model into a prefab? I already tried dragging and dropping one of the fences from the Hierachy into the Project view, but that only made that one fence model into a prefab. All the other copies of that fence are still models.
I would really like to find a way to just turn the fence model used in the scene into a prefab, so I do not have to completely rebuild the scene...
Thanks in advance, I hope that it is somehow fixable.
My English is not the best, nor do I know how to explain this properly. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.
There are some tools you could use out there, and you could also write your own simple script to do it.
Just do a foreach over all GameObjects that match your selected game object. Store it's Transform information, destroy the original, and instantiate the prefab in it's place.
Otherwise, if you can't find a 'replace all' tool, or can't write a simple (I'm talking like 10 line max) editor script that does it for you, then you'll have to do it by hand. Lesson learned, huh?
Yeh. I guess that will do. :) Did not think that of that simple solution. Thanks alot! And yes, definetly learned a lesson here. Already restructured my Project folders, so it wont happen agai
