Selection Window (Pro only)

The Selection Window is enabling a fast selection of components in the 3D assembly (game object) hierarchy. You can select components based on the visibility status, assign groups to components and view and hide groups. You can find more information in the section below.

Opening the selection window

To open the Selection window please select game4automation > Selection window (Pro) in the game4automation menu. This will open this window:

Actions with ALL
In the section “Actions with ALL” you can sop the suppression of all components or show all hidden components.

Selection
It is important to know that there are two levels of selection. The first one is the normal Unity Selection (this means all highlighted objects in the hierarchy). You can save currently selected objects in a temporarily g4a selection by pushing Add selected. All actions that you are performing under Actions with Selection are performed on the Unity AND g4a selection.
