MeshFilter Component's Mesh Name Property Not Displayed In Inspector

Unity Engine
1

Any ideas as to why the MeshFilter component is not showing the Mesh Name (and selection icon) in the Inspector? The image is directly after [RMB] > “Create Empty” > Cube. The Inspector is in ‘Normal’ display mode (as opposed to ‘Debug’).

Well, after being plagued by this for quite some time, I post the question and figure it out 10 minutes later …

Had a [CustomEditor(typeof(UnityEngine.Object))] attribute on a class. IsFallback was set to true, but MeshFilter picked it up? … Hmmm…

How did you manage to solve this? I’m having the same problem right now… I don’t have such attribute in my whole project

Do you have any Editor classes implementing UnityEditor.Editor with the [CustomEditor] attribute?

MeshFilter derives from Component, which derives from Object. So, maybe you have a CustomEditor for one of those types? E.g.:

[CustomEditor(typeof(Object))]
// or
[CustomEditor(typeof(Component))]
// or
[CustomEditor(typeof(MeshFilter))]

If you override OnInspectorGUI(), either:

  • draw your custom Inspector;
  • don’t draw anything and call DrawDefaultInspector(); or
  • do both (draw your custom Inspector AND call DrawDefaultInspector()).

Note that base.OnInspectorGUI() calls DrawDefaultInspector() by default.

Hope this helps!
