The Selection Window is only available within the professional version.
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.
To open the Selection window please select
realvirtual
> Selection window (Pro)
in the realvirtual.io menu. This will open this window:
In the section Actions with ALL
you can sop the suppression of all components or show all hidden components.
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 rvselection.
Add selected
Adds the selected components to the rvselection
To Unity selection

Remove selected

The Material update allows you to replace defined materials in a scene with others by one click. To use this feature, you need to define an update by creating an asset called "MaterialUpdate" in the current folder, which can be defined in the Inspector. To create the asset, right-click in the Project area and select "Create/realvirtual/Add material update settings".
You can use the following parameters to specify which materials should be replaced: material, RGB color, and material name or partial name. All of these input parameters are considered in the order listed. You can assign a specific material or a blueprint material, but only one of these options can be defined at a time. Multiple mappings can be defined, and to add another mapping, simply click on the "+" button. The mappings in the list are carried out sequentially, and they can overwrite each other. The material update replaces materials of imported, non-instantiated prefabs with instantiated ones, resulting in improved performance.
