UI not showing when I right click on hierarchy!

I'm using Unity Version 2019.2.0f1, When I right-click in the hierarchy, UI option doesn't show up, please tell me how to fix it, is there some files that I'm missing? If that's the case please let me know how to fix it.

 

I am having the same issue. But when I right click in the hierarchy window, the pop up window to create new empty, 3d objects, etc, it opens but the UI option is not there

 

Sorry for so many replys but im on mobile and the edit is impossible. It s okay now just saved and restart unity and the UI option is back

 

Restarting Unity doesn’t help me though! It’s still the same!

 

Has anyone found a fix to this issue? I'm running Unity 2019.1.7f1 and have been having this problem in specific projects.

I've deleted the Library folder and restarted Unity, it still hasn't fixed the issue.

 

I'm having this same issue, no idea where it went..

 

Fixed it, removed Unity UI and TextMeshPro, then readded them both, restarted and now UI is back in the Scene context menu.

 

But how can i remove Unity UI and TextMeshPro?

 

go to window, package manager then search for text mesh pro and unity UI (you need to remove text mesh pro first)

 

That does the trick! Thanks

 

i cant seee unity ui in package manager

 

You need to look at the top of the "Package Manager" window... there is a dropdown menu with "In Project" label.. click on it and select "All Packages".
Now you can see the package you're looking for.

 

Same problem,

SOLUTION : Just try a good old restart. It fixed it for me.

 

UNITY 2020.2.1f1
still this bug accours, I think is time u guys do something about it, I did 2 progects, it accoured 2 times in a row in 2 weeks

 

I tried every possible solution that i could fin on google and none of them worked.
I have the same issue that everyone else here has. Someone please help.
This is my 5th project failing so if anyone of you can help please, you'll be a life saver

 

I HAVE THE S A M E PROBLEM I NEED YOUR HELP

 

Using 2020.3.0f1 and this bug still occurs.

I haven't found any solution that seems to work at the moment and it's pretty crucial to get TextMeshPro/UI elements working. It seems to be happening in every project, so there's probably a problem importing the assets or packages.

 

I also am getting this issue. Saving/restarting didn't help. Why is this not fixed yet?


Steps to reproduce:
1.) Create a new scene, using EMPTY template.
2.) Attempt to right-click in the Hierarchy to create any UI element of any kind (Canvas, Button, Text, Whatever)
3.) Throw laptop out window.

The only way to get things lined up easily in this state is to click the element in question, and go up to GameObject menu at the top, and for some reason UI menu is there (but at the very bottom, away from other "Create" options. See below:

 

Submitted a bug with a project file and link to this thread. Cross your fingers.

 

I'm having this issue that you described, mine righ-click isn't working in the hierarchy window

 

Ya I'm having the same issue. 2020.3.1f1. Tried removing Unity UI and Text Mesh Pro packages, restarting windows and reinstalling.
Nothing worked.
Pls help. I can't create a new project!!!

Also the Unity Collaborate Package has a corrupted .cs file. AdapterListView.cs.
Only half a line of code is contained in the .cs file. removing, restarting, and installing the Unity Collaborate package has no effect on this error.

 

SOLUTION:
I just fixed it by removing each package one by one, with a full system restart in between each removal.
And also a restart in between each installation of the packages again.

Hope this will work for someone else!

 

Click on GameObject on the top then see UI at the very bottom of the list

 

Thank you so much that worked

 

Why is that this has changed? I find this very unusable...

 

Same problem with 2D primitives... in unity 2020.2.2f

 

How do I Re add them?

 

Reverting the Unity Hub version from the Beta 3.0 to Production 2.4.4 solved this problem for me.

 

It worked.
And I realize when I used hub 3.0, so many errors appears when open project, but that errors can clear.

 

It's resolved.

 

I have just encountered this same issue in Unity 2020.3.15f2. It was there just a few minutes ago and now it's disappeared. Restarting Unity itself fixed the problem. I did not alter installed packages in any way.

 

Did you find a solution to this problem?

 

Lol... Just realized that I'm having the same issue.
I'm using Unity Hub 3.0.0.beta-4 and Unity Editor 2021.3.16f1.
I guess I'll stick to the GameObject menu for now.

 

I had the same problem, It will happen when packages are not resolved.
- Restart the Unity, Packages are automatically resolved.

 

If you still have issues, I solved it in a very brute force way. I downloaded a random UI asset from the asset store, imported it into my scene, made duplicates of the cavas and any gameobjects I needed and deleted the rest.

 

u r so guud brahhhh

 

Here's a fix:

1. Click on Window > Package Manager
2. Remove UnityUI and TextMeshPro
   
3. Click on Packages: In Project
4. Search for UnityUI and TextMeshPro and re-add them
5. Restart unity

 

You can also just reimport the Unity UI package, go into the Packages folder in the editor, right click in the Unity UI folder and click in reimport, then restart unity

 

Go to the "GameObject" at the top menu, You will find UI at the very bottom there.I hope it will help

 

Click on Assest and than Reimport all assest ,it will proberly solve the issue

 

Hi all . I have a work around . Firstly I tried the following solutions from this thread.
Restarting unity. No Joy.
Removing and re installing TextMeshPro and unity ui. No joy.
Reverting unity hub. Did not try.

Workaround:
For a text box or tmpro text box . Find your canvas in scene and right Click it. Create empty game object. Then in inspector just click ad component and find text, textmesh pro (ui) or whatever you need.
A little clunky , but it works .
Hope this helps someone until the issue is fixed.
Ps. Has anyone filed a bug report on this one?

 

Had the same issue. This solved it for me:
1. Removed TextMeshPro Package
2. Install TextMeshPro Package
3. Quit Project
4. Open Project

 

Hi,

If I uninstall TextMeshPro: right click works.
But the bug occurs again after reinstalling it.
I tried a lot of things (reimport all, delete library folder) but nothing works.
Any ideas?

EDIT:
After testing, it's not TextMeshPro: when removing it, i got console errors (because some of my scripts use it) then right click works.
I have the same behavior if I remove In App Purchasing for example: I got error in my scripts but right click works.
Only when reinstalling packages so no more errors then right click does not work.
I think that Unity stops loading some stuff when errors linked to packages appear so right click works at this moment.

EDIT 2:
Finally, I found that an Editor script from on old asset was causing this strange bug.
No idea why. I found this Editor script when removing all my Unity assets one by one...

 

Perfect solution i have :-

Go to windows - then select package manager - then there is name like package: in project select it and change to unity registry , then search for text mesh pro and install it and unity UI also.

 

Just remove and reinstall textmesh pro for urp users
