Open Mac unity project on a PC?

Unity Engine

My friend is working on a unity project on Mac, is there anyway to open and edit his project on a PC?

Sry if someone had asked this already. I did some research online, but couldn’t find any solutions.

copy it over and open it with unity
thats all

Thx for the quick reply.

I really wish that could work out…but I tried with my PC and laptop, every time I tried to open any of his .unity file, it would crash. Then I took the files to the other friend’s place and tried on her mac, the project worked just fine.

maybe there is a way to repackage those files and make them readable by PC?

Inside Unity select all the assets you wish to copy over, then export them using the Assets->Export Package menu option.
Then use the Assets->Import Package on the system you want to load the assets onto.
Note that using this method will cause layer and tag information to be lost.

Exactly. Been working like that for a while: isn’t there a better way?

Thx for the heads up. So is there no way to transfer data without losing the layer and tag info? Or maybe recover them somehow?

Projects should open up the same on Mac and Windows. If it’s not then this is a bug and it would be great if you filed a bug report and attached the project folder that is exhibiting this issue.
