Is there a way to quicly create a prefab with multiple objects?

Unity Engine

Extreme noob here.

My current process is this:

  • Combine / position models how I want
  • Create empty object
  • Move said empty object to 0,0,0 because it creates it in the middle of nowhere
  • Position the empty object to be centered-ish on the prefab-to-be
  • Drag and drop items into it
  • Drag into prefab folder

Thinking of other programs that allow you to group things together, you can usually select them and press something like “Ctrl + G” and they just get grouped. The center is automatically calculated based on positions of the items relative to each other

Does something like that exist in Unity? To be able to select multiple models and just “Ctrl + G” into a new Prefab with center point roughly calculated? The time savings would be amazing.

Thanks.

Ah…So ignore all that, I found a simple solution. Messing with the Pivot / Center tool position (icons at the top) seems to affect it. I can also just fix it by selecting the root game object and going to the “GameObject” tab and click “Center On Children”.

Much easier than trying to manually position it.
