Cannot add a Transform to a GameObject which has RectTransform

Questions & Answers
1

I don’t know why this should happen. I added the component RectTransform and I can’t change to back to a normal Transform. When I search in the “Add Component” Section, it doesn’t come up.

This could possible be a glitch?

Any help is welcome

Thanks

A GameObject can only possess one kind of transform. ‘Flat’ objects like sprites use RectT’s because they are flat squares by nature, and have a special transform with special methods to make them easier to use. Also, RectTransform’s are generally only used in UI situations or in 2d games. Everything else should have a regular Transform.

EDIT to ADD: Click the wheel in the top right corner of the RectTranform component and select ‘remove component’, this will revert it back to a Transform.

You might be using UI component which has RectTransform component. This component can perform all functionalities as simple Tranform component does.
