Overview

What Awesome Hierarchy 1.0.0.08.26 adds to the native Unity Hierarchy.

Awesome Hierarchy is an editor-only organization and navigation tool for Unity's native Hierarchy. It adds groups, filtering, visual customization, notes, guide lines, and useful scene statistics without replacing the Hierarchy window or adding runtime components to your GameObjects.

Groups are ordinary root GameObjects. Parenting objects below a group defines membership, so the scene keeps a normal Unity structure that remains understandable without Awesome Hierarchy.

Main features

  • Create an empty group, convert one selected root into a group, or place multiple selected objects under a new group.
  • Mark an existing root GameObject as a group without dirtying the scene.
  • Focus each native Hierarchy window on one group while preserving Unity's Search field.
  • Work with groups from every loaded or additively loaded scene.
  • Rename objects, add optional row colors, and choose automatic, Unity, hidden, or built-in custom icons.
  • Attach version-controlled notes to groups and ordinary GameObjects.
  • Read parent-child relationships through hierarchy guide lines.
  • See responsive counts for objects, groups, lights, cameras, and Audio Sources.
  • Share deterministic per-scene metadata through version control.
  • Undo and redo group, appearance, note, and related scene operations.
  • Inspect the hierarchy safely in Play Mode and Multiplayer Play Mode virtual players.

Native Hierarchy workflow

The group bar is inserted below Unity's Search field and the status bar is placed at the bottom of the same Hierarchy window. Awesome Hierarchy does not open a replacement hierarchy and does not require switching the project to another hierarchy backend.

Every Hierarchy window keeps its own selected group. This makes it possible to dock two Hierarchy windows and focus each one on a different part of the loaded scene setup.

Requirements

  • Unity 6000.5 or newer.
  • Release validation was performed with Unity 6000.5.9f1.
  • No additional packages are required.
