[Solved] How to load default mesh?

I just want to get the default mesh plane by code and set it to a mesh filter:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. MeshFilter meshFilter = myObject.AddComponent<MeshFilter> ();
3. meshFilter.mesh = ((GameObject)Resources.Load("Library/unity default resources/Plane")).GetComponent<MeshFilter>().mesh;
4.  

I always get a nullReference error. What I'm doing wrong? What is the real path for default object?

 

There's no such thing since Resources.Load only uses items in Resources. Instead you can use GameObject.CreatePrimitive(PrimitiveType.Plane).

Wow! Why didn't I Think of That Before?

Thank you for your help. It's work perfectly.

 

Is this still the best answer? I don't want a game object because it will cause a collision with the collider that is overlapping with where I want to put the mesh...

I see "Cube" in the editor. Can't I load that via a script at runtime? Feels like I just can't get the path figured out.

 

Resources.GetBuiltinResource will help, I get the builtin 'Cube' mesh in script here:

Code (CSharp):

1. // Create new mesh instantiate
2. Mesh newLightSourceMesh;
3. if (m_SelectedMesh != null)
4.     newLightSourceMesh = Instantiate(m_SelectedMesh);
5. else
6.     newLightSourceMesh = Resources.GetBuiltinResource<Mesh>("Cube.fbx");

 

Also "Quad.fbx" for the 4-vertices quad.
