Problem loading "Standard Assets" in Unity 3D Free Edition...

I am not able to load “Individual” packages from the “Standard Assets” from within a Project. When I create a new Project I get this Dialog…


If I check the “Standard Assets” box it loads “ALL” of the packages into the project and it takes forever!

Once I get into the project, if I try to load a package I get this Dialog…


There is no option to load an “Individual” package from the “Standard Assets” as in previous Unity versions. I’ve uninstalled/reinstalled twice and it stays the same. I have looked through the threads for any help and have tried everything suggested with no success. Thanx in advance for any help/suggestions.

But it’s only partially compatible with any new version of Unity. Use at your own risk and you probably will need to fix some errors.

To import only select parts just create a new empty project and then open the Asset Store window and search for “Standard Assets”. This should lead you to the page @ linked to above. Then simply click download and import and deselect anything you don’t want in the Import window:

Please note that some files do depend on others. So if you get missing reference errors after importing, check the missing file names and then re-import the package with those missing files selected.

Aren’t the packages on my local machine? Seems a lot has changed since I last worked with Unity.

Yes, but good luck finding them :p, the location is different for each OS and it’s been years since I look for it! The main advantage to using the Asset Store is automatic updates. Unity is also currently working on a much improved replacement for the Standard Assets that will be available through the Package Manager and this will give us the best of both worlds and then some - individual packages, automatic updates, multiple versions, etc.
