Project Settings

Unity project configuration optimized for industrial automation with realvirtual framework.

Overview

The Apply Standard Settings feature configures Unity projects with optimal settings for industrial automation development. These settings ensure the best performance, stability, and user experience when working with realvirtual components.

Automatic Application: Standard settings are usually applied automatically after a fresh installation or update of realvirtual.io. However, if you encounter compile errors, you may need to apply them manually.

When to Apply Settings Manually

After Resolving Compile Errors

If you encounter compile errors in the console window, it may be due to conflicts between your existing project assets and realvirtual.io:

  1. Address compile errors first to ensure there are none remaining

  2. Once errors are resolved, apply the standard settings by selecting "realvirtual" > "Apply Standard Settings" from the main menu

Manual Application

You can manually apply these settings at any time through the realvirtual menu:

  1. Go to realvirtual menu in Unity's main menu bar

  2. Select "Apply Standard Settings"

  3. Confirm the application when prompted

Use Carefully for Existing Projects: The Recommended Project Settings feature makes significant changes to Unity project configuration. Review the changes carefully before applying to existing projects.

Settings Applied

Applying standard settings will configure:

  • Standard layer naming (for physics)

  • Standard physics collision matrix

  • Standard light settings
