What happened to ProGrids?

I started a new project in unity 2019.3 and can't find ProGrids in package manager and not much info about it online

 

Found it. I had to enable preview packages under Advanced in the package manager

 

Thank you for posting! This was yet another real aggravation for a new user to stumble into.

Kind of ridiculous... they say it's "native in 2019.3" and give absolutely zero clue in their Unity Manual entry for ProGrids installation. Why is this new "native" grid tool not... well... NATIVE

Having a functional grid is pretty foundational I would think.

 

For reals...

For reals! I was literally looking everywhere within the software trying to find it. The tutorial I was following, was getting it from the assets store, but he even said in the future it'll probably be moved to the package manager. Only for it to be "HIDDEN" LMAO!! Thanks the the heads up @EthanFischer ! Without this/your discovery, we would all be lost!!

 

Finally found it! what an unnecessary aggravation.

 

where is progrids? there is no at assetstore.

 

It's in the package manager

 

The answer is click advanced and show preview and you got it
I getting cringe for find to
Thats really chocolate part of unity that so easy but make problems harder than othat game design program

 

grammar 100

 

thanks, i faced same issue, ur reply helped me. Thanks!

 

WoW, i have the problem right now cuz im new. Thanks!

 

Hey, I have preview packages enabled and it still doesn't show up in 2021.1.3f1; only ProBuilder and Polybrush are available from the original ProCore toolset. I assume it has been removed?

 

https://forum.unity.com/threads/new-package-lifecycle-taking-effect-in-2021-1.1045201/

This might work, if it doesn't, it might've been removed. Although, I don't really know if it was or not.

 

When the popup shows, type

com.unity.progrids

in the name field and hit enter.

 

Thanks. I've been struggling since yesterday.

 

So, If I don't find any packages in unity package manager, I can just type these com. stuff and get the packages? And how can I find all packages com. stuff

 

This link may help.
Unity - Manual: Preview packages (unity3d.com)

 

Generally I like how everything is turning in to packages and to make easier to keep control of versions, at the same time Its kind of inconvenient not to offer a list of "unity made" packages available. It looks that now we have to memorize all the package manager names we normally use.

 

Thank you so much for this info!!!

 

Absolute legend, thanks man, this fixed it for me

 

Did the team disband or something? How come it never left the experimental phase? "Not supported by Unity" is a bit daunting

 

No, they chose to move most of the features inside the editor without a package and drop some.

What do you mean exactly when you say it's not working with Probuilder? If you encounter a bug, please submit bug report, it's important.

 

You responded too quickly LOL.. I found out that the default snap works fine. Progrid was actually causing issues with the editor. I removed it and probuilder works fine with the current snap tools

 

Pre-release packages are enabled in 2022.1 Alpha, but ProGrids doesn't show in the packages list...

​

I had to use com.unity.progrids to get it. Looks better than the default grid hey?

​

 

This was insane to find. thanks to the guy who pointed out the location.

 

Looks like they have finally killed progrids, adding the link gives an error Package com.unity.progrids cannot be found.

Seems I will have try and tame the inbuilt crappy one, it seems to have its own ideas about where the grid is and decides to change the grid size at will.

 

If anyone else see this, the package does still work if you add it by name to 2022.1

 

Thank you...just...thanks...i never would have figured out "com.unity.progrids" WTF?!

 

Unity 2020.3. 34 What's the trick to change the snap size? the "1" has no option to change.

 

You are the best!!!!!!! its working good.

 

I get the error:

Unable to find the package with the specified name.
Please check the name and try again.

Using Unity 2021.3.9f1

 

I was able to install on 2021.3.7f1 using "com.unity.progrids" no quotes. I did have preview packages enabled.

I ran into an issue before where if you copy the com.unity.progrids or other named package it often includes a space at the end. Perhaps that's your issue?

 

You're the real ninja! thanks!!!

 

Oh i love you!

 

Did you do the step this person replied to, turning on experimental pre-release packages?

 

Thanks ...

 

Thanks alot

 

TYVM!

 

hey dostum sen gerçekten harikasın beni büyük bir dertten kurtardın

 

Any word on the current status of ProGrids? I tried installing via the package manager using the "com.unity.progrids" name, but when I attempted to use ProGrids in my project, it crashed Unity. Using version 2021.3.19f1. Is there built-in functionality that can achieve the same results as ProGrids?

 

This Solved the problem for me. After Unity changed the Advance setting and I force it in but your example shown.

 

This worked for me. I am using Unity 2022.3.11f1

 

I think ProGrids is available in the package manager nowadays. I think I saw it the other day.
No, it isn't.

This worked for me too.

Note: I had a problem using the "Add by name" field in 2022.3.11f1 on Linux, the text field disappearing right away. I had to minimize the editor to keep only the package manager window up front. Then the field was usable.
