    Hi I thought I could just drag a button component onto a 3D object and it would work like a button (automatically add the required collider) and trigger events?

    Shouldn't the button component work with 3D objects?

    Does it have a RectTransform attached?

    Tried replacing the transform with a RectTransform and it still doesn't work!

    :D That's the trick, thank you.

    Checked no need for a rectTransform, but you do need a collider.

    Maybe Unity could automagically add the needed components once a button is dropped on a 3D object!?
