Shape Replacer

Surface Deviation

The deviation factor used when comparing mesh surfaces to determine if the objects are similar.

Mesh Area Deviation

The deviation factor used when comparing total mesh surface area size to determine if the objects are similar.

Use mesh area filter

Whether or not an extra filter should be applied to the objects using mesh area comparison.

  • Parent for use in mesh area filter: The parent object under which the mesh area comparison must be done.

Rotation Check

If selectedWhen enabled, checks if the objects are properly rotated at the end of the replacement operation.

Check flipping normal axis

If selectedWhen enabled, checks if the normal axis was flipped in the replacement operation and reverts if so.

Check if bounds are the same

If selectedWhen enabled, checks if the bounds of the new prefab are the same as the replaced objects and uses this information to redetermine rotation.

Check if symmetry caused mirroring

If selectedWhen enabled, checks if objects are mirrored after the replacement operation and compensates if so.

If use perimeter Check

If selectedWhen enabled, use the perimeter of a plane on the mesh (an area where connected triangles have a similar normal) as a comparison to check if objects share this plane, as an extra similarity check.

Do not change the local rotation of new prefabs

If selectedWhen enabled, ensures that the local rotations of the prefab instances are the same as the object that they replace.
