Prebabs not updates

Hi! Recently faced a strange problem. The artist filled in a version of the prefab (using SourceTree), this is such a house with a pipe. We received changes, they are in the meta, (but strange, in Modifications area)



but for some reason in the editor itself, the pipe is centered in our editor, as if ignoring all these changes.



On our machines, this prefab does not contain changes or overrides, and therefore had to receive changes after receiving a commit from an artist, but this did not happen. Any ideas?

P.S. After hour I can call with artist and look what he did wrong I think he did something wrong

 

The modifications in the HouseSmall01 Prefab could be the position of a nested Prefab? Then it would show up in the modifications section of the Prefab instance of that nested Prefab.

Okay, so just to be clear, you don't think this was an issue with the Prefabs after all?

 

There is no nested prefabs, just default prefab source from imported mesh


What we must to do in this case? Creates new prefab from tube and use it instead existing prefab source from imported mesh?

 

In the picture, exhaust_tube is a Model Prefab instance inside the of HouseSmall01 Prefab, so exhaust_tube is nested in HauseSmall01. This means there is also overrides for the instance of exhaust_tube inside the file of HouseSmall01. This is expected and correct.

I don't understand what has gone wrong exactly. You should be able to use exhaust_tube fine and move it around inside HauseSmall01 as you wish. I can't tell why the changes did not work correctly. If you move it around on your own machine, does it not work either?

 

I know that is Model Prefab (I name it Source Prefab like in "Overrides" tab) I told about "Normal" nested prefabs Anyway is not mater.

As I say in my initial post, issue is - prefab have actual position in meta

meta. Position for exhaust_tube in HauseSmall01​

But this position not applied if we see in prefab:


Of course I can move this tube on my machine, but is wrong. Why I should move it if artist already moved this tube and send this changes to repository and we get it (as you can see in meta), but prefab realy not do this movements.

 

Ok, I understand better now what you mean. That sounds weird indeed.

If you move it yourself to the correct position, just as a test, how does the source file change? I'm interested in whether that changes the same fields you highlighted in red, or some different ones.

 

Yep I check it before and see that it changes same fields BUT fileID changed from 400002 to 400000 if we check exhaust_tube is identifier of root transform, which correct. And in this case, I don't understand why(?) because source control not handle fileID changes. It can be incorrect merge? If it helps, on last screen meta of initial exhaust_tube.fbx, which have 400000 and 400002 identifiers.

 

I called with artist In his version fileID 400002 after reimport on his side, fileID now 400000 in his editor I think it's incorrect merge

 

Ah, all right. Glad it got sorted out more or less in the end.

I don't know if perhaps this tool can help in the future (in case you're not using it)? https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/SmartMerge.html

 

We, of cource use UnityYAMLMerge for a long time Anyway thanks for advice!
