    as the title say i want to set a sorting layer for a non sprite renderer (mesh renderer) and i cant do it, tried many things but none of them works so i came here to see if i can find someone that managed to solve this problem.

    Solved this by script, but why this is not available from editor? or maybe there is a way to do it from editor, in wich case i really would like to know how to do it.

    You could write a custom EditorWindow that allows you to change it or via the inspector of another component.

    Hi Nero,

    You can find a custom Editor Window there: https://gist.github.com/nickgravelyn/7460288

    However, I am facing the same problem as you and I couldn't solve it by code or using the custom editor window. Which version of Unity are you using? and did you fix your problem just by setting the sortinglayername et sortingorder in the code or did you do something else?
