Edit Collider button missing

We've been having an issue since updating to 2019.3 with the Edit Collider button not displaying:



Similarly, the button is missing for editing angular limits on hinge joints:



Currently using 2019.3.0f6. I've seen people on forums reporting that this is a bug in 2019.3, but I've been unable to find out whether there was a fix released in a later version. Before getting the team to update, can anyone confirm that there has been a fix? If not, is there another solution?

Thanks.

 

Seems fine in 2019.3.14f:

 

i have the exact same problem please help

 

I actually found that I could get around it by entering Play Mode with the object selected - the button would reappear while playing, so I would then edit it to the values I wanted. Sometimes the button would even remain after doing this. Good luck!

 

Now using 2019.4 and the issue is still occurring

 

Same problem with 2019.4.4f1 and the problem has existed the last few version on 2019.

 

Having this issue on 2019.4.4f1 too.

 

I'll be damned. That actually worked. The values would not remain after exiting play mode but the button stuck around so I could edit it again. Nice catch!

 

Yeah, far from ideal though! Would love to get an update from Unity about it.

@cirocontinisio maybe?

 

Same issue on 2021.2.0b4 (3123)

 

same issue on 2021.2.0b7

 

This button suddenly broke for me too. Unity 2019.4.31f1.

 

I am seeing this today in 2021.2.2f1. Box colliders as well as capsule colliders.

 

Still a bug in 2021.2.5

As a workaround, you can switch to the default layout and the button will show up.

 

This fixed it for me. Click the Layout dropdown in the top right of Unity editor and select default.

 

I got this as well today as well on 2021.2.8f1, I set my layout to default and it didn't fix it for my second box collider on the game object

 

Still exist in 2021.2 and the switching layouts does nothing for me.

 

I did this exact thing here is where you switch to default layout and the button will show up as he said.

 

I ha

I have had this happen multiple in the past month and doing this fixed it. Today I had enough and figured out it was caused by having multiple inspector tabs/windows open, so closing all except one in my custom layout fixed the button permanently. It seems to be some kind of a Unity bug.

 

Even the 2021.3 LTS still having this issue (I guess it's a bug)

 

Thanks for tracking that down.

 

Collider editor bug..
array elements bugs...
so many inspecter bugs

 

still exists in 2021 LTS.... i think its related to all the other inspector bugs (i.e. drawing the first element of an array of dropdowns renders below the list) bc clicking it highlights both the top 2 inspector fields: https://gyazo.com/c1cf7505ccb8c509040b6cb15b0d5246

temporary solution: go to the top right menu in the editor and reset the layout, it should fix it but its still annoying

 

Resetting the editor layout doesn't fix it for me. I can't edit colliders in my project. on 2020.3.30

 

There is a workaround. For me it worked by adding Capsule Collider 2D instead of Box Collider 2D

 

Sometimes the button gets bugged when you switch between normal and debug inspector. Put all your inspector tabs on normal mode and close all of them. Open a new inspector tab and the button will be visible again.

 

I'm having this issue using Unity 2021.3.4f1
I've tried several of the suggested solutions in this thread (except switching to a different collider), and I'm unable to get it to appear.



So as it turns out, this is by design. The ONE edit collider enables editing ALL of them at the same time. It's hard to see because they "stack" on top of each other, but they are all there, and you can slowly move each of them around and you'll see the "bounds" moving for each collider.

Check out this quick screengrab demo: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hu90wkrp655d8ud/Unity_2022-06-24_06-30-18.gif

 

Thank you! This was driving me crazy!

 

I had the same issue in 2021.3.9f1
Closing the inspector and reopening fixed the issue.

 

I was really upset, because nothing worked, but i tried for fun click in this box collider on three dots -> Added Component -> Revert and it shows up. I can delete it and make new box collider FINALLY with edit option. Unity 2021.3.14f1

 

In my case I had two Inspector Tabs. Somehow additional (and hidden) Inspector Tab become the main one and button appeared in it.
Seek and you will find.

 

This error occurs when you have multiple inspector tabs. Close all others, and t'll work

 

I saw this bug years ago, now I got it in 2021.3.20f1 LTS.

 

Aidez moi j'ai essayer toutes vos techniques mais ça ne marche pas et je ne comprends plus rien

 

Ça n'as pas marché

 

Try to close all Inspector windows. Leave only one Inspector window. I guess you have opened more than one Inspector window

 

This happens when you have multiple inspector tabs open. Close all extra ones and restart unity.

 

still here

 

Hey who ever is wondering to this problem There is a solution just rest your layout to default

 

Yeah, resetting the Editor Layout to Default worked for me too.

 

this worked for me

 

This bug is still happening in the latest 2022.3 16f1 release, however I find that (for the purposes of editing the collider) whatever 2D Collider is first in your inspector is what gets the edit button.

I've been re-ordering my colliders to edit them and then moving them back into the right order. Annoying yes, but it's a consistent fix for the edit button not showing up. Using this method it shows the Edit button on the collider every time for me.

 

I just started getting this problem today. But only when the object is in the prefab directory. I tried the methods above and could not get the button to appear. Until I dragged a copy to the Hierarchy window. Edited it there. Then copy/paste the values into the prefab directory in the Project folder. Nuts, but it worked for me. Then removed it from the Hierarchy.

 

As of Unity 2022.3.7f1 - Ran into a problem where the collider was editable on an individual object in the hierarchy but I wasn't able to get the button to pop up on the same object in the library. To workaround this I went into the object in the hierarchy and edited the collider as needed, then clicked the 3 dots at the top right of the collider component, added component > Apply to prefab 'object_name'
