Hi everyone. I have a little question about profiling. As long I’m make some Profiler inside void Start() everything is fine like:

void Start()  
{  
Profiler.BeginSample(“TEST”);  
myFunction();  
Profiler.EndSample();  
}

After this I can see a single Sample in the profiler - perfect. But now imagine that “myfunction” has 2 or more sub functions. Then I see the complete hierarchies of all samples. But I want to collapse all the same Samples into one, so I know which sub functions are ineffective. I’m not interested in every single function call. How does this work?

```csharp
void Start()
{
     Profiler.BeginSample("TESTALL");
     myFunction();
     Profiler.EndSample();
}

//this is not correct !!!!
void myFunction(){
     // want to collapse TESTFIRST into one Profilerblock

     Profiler.BeginSample("TESTFIRST");
     myFunctionInsideOne();
     Profiler.EndSample();

     // want to collapse TESTSECOND into one Profilerblock

     Profiler.BeginSample("TESTSECOND");
     myFunctionInsideTwo();
     Profiler.EndSample();

}

```

Thanks =)  
Chris
