Just going to comment if this will save time from someone else, I encountered this same issue with 2D Game Kit Walkthrough:
I created a new project, imported the 2D Game Kit tutorial project from the asset store and after Kit Tools-menu didn’t exist.
On the bottom of my editor (v2019.3.05a) after importing project there was a red compiler error message that mentioned Packages/Cinemachine as part of the message (the actual compiler error message was “The type or namespace name ‘UI’ does not exist in the namespace ‘UnityEngine’”).
What I then did was go into Window → Package manager and find Cinemachine, which I updated to the latest version (from 2.3.3 to 2.3.4). After installing I restarted Unity and reopened my project and now Kit Tools-menu is available.
With the updated version, if you load in ProBuilder, you have to go through Package Manager, under Windows, to install it or you won’t be able to use it.
But the main reason as to why I want the Tools menu back is because I want to see the dimensions of my game objects. I can’t now.
I have a problem. I don’t have the „Kit Tools“ Menu.! What can I do. Please help…
For my problem(one Information), I‘m have a Apple Computer(Mac)
maybe you are over the shader limit? or other script errors?
Where did you find “new”? Under the File drop down there is “New Scene” and “New Project”, neither of which lead to “add asset package”.
You are aware that the post you quoted is very old and probably out dated.
I quoted the old post on purpose to show that the problem has existed for over a year and has not been fixed. Especially since it’s the first step of the first beginner class, it seems like there should be ongoing discussion about it.
The problem is current. No solution (that I can find) has been posted. Do you know how to find “Kit Tools” in the 2d Game Kit? 2D Game Kit Walkthrough - Unity Learn
What problem? There’s never been a Tools menu in Unity, as @Eric5h5 mentioned in his post #3.
The first step of the beginner tutorial: 2D Game Kit Walkthrough - Unity Learn
Step one is “click Kit Tools” and it shows a screenshot of the Kit Tools button on the top row. This button does not exist.
Here is the top row in the current version of Unity, downloaded yesterday. Version number can be seen in the image.
And here is the first step of the tutorial, showing Unity’s screenshot of where they want you to click:
The screenshot of the tutorial shows that there should be a “Kit Tools” button. Perhaps the tutorial was written for an older version. The button is not there in the current version.
Some suggest installing the 2d Game Kit though the asset store, but that does not provide the Kit Tools.
This “Kit Tools” menu belongs to the 2D Game Kit tutorial, not to the editor, you need to report it in the right forums: 2D Game Kit Official Thread
The 2D Game Kit in the Assets Store is probably not up to date and you’ll have to install the proper version of Unity to download it from Unity Hub.
If the proper version of Unity is not installed, the Hub will just stop importing the project but the package is stored into “C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Unity\Asset Store-5.x\Unity Technologies\Project”. You’ll be able to import it in the version of Unity you are using, as long as it is a 2019.2 one. It is best that you use the recommended version of Unity; I couldn’t read the message that mentions it because I wasn’t watching my screen and it didn’t last long enough. You’ll have to be patient, it’s a really big project.
I just did that and Kit Tools is in the menu.
Exactly…
Thanks! I’ll look for the version in your screenshot.
Sadly, several versions ago is what their link at Start Your Creative Projects and Download the Unity Hub | Unity leads to, which is what I was following assuming they’d have the latest version on the download button. But after your mention of that I’ve found their download archive page which does have the version in your screenshot.
Thanks again for your help!
Now I’m just chuckling. The download archive page Download Archive has tons of buttons for Unity Hub, all of which are broken links.
You need to have Unity Hub installed first before these links work. The download links are in the first post of this thread: https://discussions.unity.com/t/743151
LoL… you have to have the Hub installed before you can download the Hub? Thanks for that link.
I’m not laughing at you, I’m laughing at Unity. Just goes to show how important it is to thoroughly document everything and update the documentation as rigorously as testing your code, and how often it is neglected even in professional software companies.
No, the green buttons on the archive page are for donwloading the editors through the Hub. When you click on them, they open the Hub and download the chosen editor.
hey, I also have a problem with the tool menu that doesn’t exist anymore, but from your comments, I don’t figure out where exactly I can open the tool, in my case, ProBuilder
i think i found out,sorry
thx u very much, u saved me a lot of time
Fix your code errors first, else unity cant compile the packages and show you the menu.
