Official Editor tool to replace Gameobjects with Prefabs

Hi, I'd like to work on this extension editor tool:

Do you guys have any extra requirements for this?

 

i found links i think this will be helpful for some one building this tool

Hey all, I made this thread the official for discussing the tool.
I think we already have a PR by @vishwah13, I'll review it soon and then @Danyang8, maybe you can add to it or improve it?

I've made a "Replace" context-menu with a searchable popup:
https://github.com/UnityTechnologies/open-project-1/pull/223

Here's all the issues I found with the tool:
- Losed Prefab connections
- Error when trying to replace prefabs children
- Missing selection on new objects
- Added (Clone) to the name
- Incorrect sibling index

 

I also created a tool that works a little differently. This tool searches the scene for prefabs that derived from the selected prefab from the project view. Provides a preview of these objects and notifies the user when targeted scene objects have non-prefab child objects. Provides options to match target scale and rotation. Provides undo.

This tool differs from the other(s) as it searches for scene objects that derived from the selected prefab in the Project View. Not by selection in the Scene View.

So the overall idea is "Prefab Derivatives Search"? If so, this might be useful, but the tool is waay overcomplicated.

I think it just needs to be "Select Derivatives" in context-menu without Replacing.
This way our tools could work in harmony, and users might do something else on selected objects
