Select UI Object from sceneview

UI UGUI
1

Hello,

How is it possible to select a UI object directly from sceneview.
It’s sometimes hard and takes time to find the object in the hierarchy, would be nice to just click on the ui in the sceneview and it would select the object.

Any clue?

Thanks,
Koby

Change your editor tool to the Rect Tool (last icon in the selection row, looks like a box). This allows you to select UI elements on a canvas “fairly” easily. (depends how complicated your UI is).
Better yet, just name each one appropriately and then you can find them in the hierarchy easily, same as any other GO.

I just tried what you suggested and it still doesnt select the UI object, could it be because of my canvas mode being set to “Screen Space - Overlay”?

And of course I give meaningful names to my GameObjects and UI, but my buttons and other elements are nested pretty deeply, so it would be a lot easier if I could just select them through sceneview.
