URP 7.1.5 package installed, but can't create Render Pipeline Asset

Hi Guys

I updated an old 2018,3 project, to 2019.3.0b12, installed the URP 7.1.5 package, but now I cant create a Render Pipeline Asset,

Docs says:
“Right-click in the Project window, and select Create > Rendering &gt: Universal Render Pipeline&gt: Pipeline Asset. Alternatively, navigate to the menu bar at the top, and select Assets &gt: Create &gt: Rendering &gt: Universal Render Pipeline &gt: Pipeline Asset.”

However, I dont see “Rendering” when right clicking and selecting “Create”

Hi @newguy123 ,
Yes you should have a “Rendering” section under the Audio Mixer. So clearly something is not installed correctly.
Check your package manager and see if the HDRP and it’s dependencies are correctly installed.
Do you get any red errors or such in your console? And do you have any indication that HDRP is correctly installed elsewhere in Unity? Check if your Edit menu has a Rendering Pipeline section near the bottom of the menu. There should be various HDRP utility functions there for material conversion etc.

Related to this HDRP issue; I just upgraded a few projects from 2019.2 to 2019.3 and I had all sorts of issues, like a lot of error printouts flooding to console. And some UI items didn’t seem to be correct etc.etc. After trying to fix things the typical way, I ended up to reset packages to default and deleting the contents of the projects Library folder. BUT needless to say, before you do anything drastic like I did, take a backup of your project!

I installed URP, not HDRP
Package Manager shows that URP is installed just fine

But yes, the “Rendering” in the menu is missing

Sorry my bad :slight_smile: I somehow read wrong lol. But the same applies, did you check the package manager and other menus? Any signs of URP there? URP has that very same Rendering Pipeline menu if it’s installed correctly.

In package manager you should have following installed:
Universal RP
And it’s dependencies:
Core RP Library
Shader Graph

Just like with HDRP (which I mistakenly referenced to) I’ve had similar issues with URP too. So if you don’t get anything visible, check if you are in the latest version, URP should be 7.1.5.

If that upgrade doesn’t help, I’d just backup the project and then delete the contents of Library folder in your project. That forces Unity to rebuild the library etc. Usually that’s fixed some problems for me.

Went out the office and restarted PC when I came back.
“Rendering” magically appeared in the menu without me doing anything…

So it literally fixed itself. Bargain!

Good to hear that you got it working :). I always restart Unity after installing packages, no matter if it’s supposedly necessary or not.

I have the same problem, but I couldn’t solve it. I tried deleting the Library folder, I tried restarting both unity and the computer, and I made sure that I have Core RP Library and Shader Graph, but nothing helps.
Perhaps it’s because I started making the project on an older version, and then moved it to a newer one (2020.1.1f1). Please help. Thanks you in advance.
