Prefabs

A prefab is a reusable group of nodes that you can place in any scene.

Making a prefab

1. In the Scene panel, right-click a node and pick Save as Prefab... Select a few nodes first to bundle them together.

2. Give it a name (no spaces) and hit Create.

The node you started with becomes an instance of your new prefab. It's marked with in the Scene panel.

To create an empty prefab: Assets › New... › Prefab.

Placing it

Drag the prefab from Assets into the viewport, or right-click it and pick Add to Current Scene.

Making changes

Tweak an instance, then right-click it and choose Save Prefab to update the prefab itself.

To add nodes to an existing prefab, select them, right-click, and use Add to Prefab.

All of these actions can be undone.
