2 Usage guide

Firstly, add unitypackage in the project.



Open ShowRoom scene from Scenes folder.

Select "RootEmpty" prefab in the "Prefabs/Roots" folder project. Make copy for own scene and drag to the scene. You will see the Primary and the BaseGUI scripts.


Primary (Script)

Main parametr in this script is Obj Categories. It is a list of all objects splitted on categories.
At start we should add own object|3d models or prefabs in the project. 
If some objects are available animation, add to them "Animation" component and add in animations array your animation clips.

When they are added you can modify Obj Categories.

1) Add all objects to  the scene and create your own Tag for them.

2) Select all objects and set created Tag.


3) Select Root object and open Primary component. You will see some buttons. But previosly you should set your objects tag in Objects Tag submenu.

Set Destroy objects after addition trigger to true if you want to automatic delete all objects from scene when they added to the list.

4) Click on Add Objects to Category by Tag button.

Script create Asset/Prefabs/MyTag_Prefabs folder and save all taging objects as prefabs. Now taging objects from scene aren't necessary any more.

In Obj Categories created special category of object with your Tag. 

5) Now you can add/change description/name/animation for all objects in selected category.

6) Click to Aplly button for save root prefab. (It is important)


Save this scene as MyShowRoom.scene, for example. Now you can play and see result.
