Export package..ONLY current scene, NOT entire Project

Unity Engine

Hi
Puzzled why Unity doesn’t seem to make this easier. How do you export ONLY the current scene with any dependencies, and NOT the entire project?

This is some really useful advice I refer to which seems to do the trick for me:

"To export your scene (level) just clean, you have to go to the Project window - select there you level and right click and select: “Select dependencies” it will show you summary information about your level files which was used only in that scene, then you have to go top menu: Assets → Export Package and UNCHECK include dependencies and it the window you’ll see it’s only selected stuff from your scene and then you can click Okay and save your scene just with stuff you had in that scene.

Include Dependencies - should have to be renamed: “Include all garbage from entire unity projects”. - Smbv Auto-export to asset only files and such used in scene - Questions & Answers - Unity Discussions

Unfortunately it seems that ‘include dependencies’ still excludes .cginc files , so shader libraries still have to be manually copy pasted. At least that has been my experience.

@nswayze thanks your solution worked for me too and my shaders are also included.
The included Dependencies should really be renamed.

@nswayze You’re the best! That was perfectly detailed and exactly what I needed. I wouldn’t have come up with this without your instructions.

It hasn’t worked correctly for about 10 years. (I haven’t seen it work for ‘all’ projects since about 2014/2015). If you have a really simple basic project, then it ‘works’ – i.e. it doesn’t actually work, but your project is simple enough that you don’t notice all the bits it got wrong.

Unity staff always popup on the forums to say “you didn’t tick the box”. LOL no that’s not the problem.

Developers always show direct evidence that Unity is wrong. The Unity staff then go silent. The feature has not worked for a loooooong time.

If you have a direct example … submit a bug. If you’re lucky they might look at it.
