    I was wondering...

    Anyone know why sometimes the prefab icons show up as blue boxes?

    And other times they show the prefab?

    That depends on how many objects the file-view is showing since they gets showed as previews when they are "big" or as icons/blue boxes when the items are small.

    By turning up / down for the magnification of the objects ( the little slider to the right top corner ) and you should be able to see them as previews or as icons - in case you want some control over it.

    They MAY also show as blue boxes if the mesh they are based on is removed for some reason. I was working on the FPS Microgame and when I went back in SOME of my Dungeon Wall Folder Assets were now blue boxes and ALL my Floor Assets were blue boxes and ALL those items were gone... HOWEVER... I finally figured it out. I am a noob, but I felt like a superhero... I will post a solution and video later today 11-18-22
