About

ProBuilder is a 3D modeling plugin for Unity.

This readme is intended as a brief introduction for developers interested in working with the API.

See the Manual for a user guide, or the Scripting Reference for API documentation.

Development

ProBuilder is a developed as a package and distributed with Package Manager.

The simplest way to get started working with source is to clone the repository into your Packages directory.

~/Desktop/MyProject$ cd Packages/
~/Desktop/MyProject/Packages$ git clone https://github.com/Unity-Technologies/com.unity.probuilder

See the Package Manager documentation for more information on installing packages.

API

There are 3 major namespaces.

Namespace	Function
UnityEngine.ProBuilder	Mesh types and functions to compile meshes to Unity compatible assets.
UnityEngine.ProBuilder.MeshOperations	Mesh editing.
UnityEditor.ProBuilder	Editor integration.

Mesh data is stored in a component (ProBuilderMesh) and compiled to a UnityEngine.Mesh (referred to as UMesh from here on) as necessary.

ProBuilderMesh retains the following mesh information:

• Positions
• UVs
• Faces
  • Triangles
  • Material
  • Smoothing group
  • Auto/Manual UVs*
• Tangent (if user set)
• UV3/4 (if user set)
• Colors
• Shared vertices (also referred to as "common vertices")

Normals, tangents, collisions, and UVs are calculated as necessary.

*ProBuilder can automatically UV unwrap triangles on a per-face basis. Face has a toggle to enable or disable this feature (users are free to unwrap faces by manually as well).

Modifying a ProBuilder mesh is a bit different from a Unity mesh. Instead of working with the MeshFilter.sharedMesh you'll instead be operating on the ProBuilder representation of the mesh: ProBuilderMesh.

A typical workflow looks like this:

// Create a new cube primitive
var mesh = ShapeGenerator.CreateShape(ShapeType.Cube);

// Extrude the first available face along it's normal direction by 1 meter.
mesh.Extrude(new Face[] { mesh.faces.First() }, ExtrudeMethod.FaceNormal, 1f);

// Apply the changes back to the `MeshFilter.sharedMesh`.
// 1. ToMesh cleans the UnityEngine.Mesh and assigns vertices and sub-meshes.
// 2. Refresh rebuilds generated mesh data, ie UVs, Tangents, Normals, etc.
// 3. (Optional, Editor only) Optimize merges coincident vertices, and rebuilds lightmap UVs.
mesh.ToMesh();
mesh.Refresh();
mesh.Optimize();
