Advanced Filtering

The Advanced Filtering panel in the Browse Window lets you build multi-property queries to find exactly the objects you need. Activate it by clicking the filter icon in the Browse toolbar.

Filterable Properties

Over 30 properties are available for filtering. Each property can be combined with an operator and a value to create a filter rule.

Property	Type	Description
Name	String	The GameObject name.
Tag	String	The assigned tag.
Layer	String	The assigned layer name.
IsActive	Boolean	Whether the object is active in the hierarchy.
IsStatic	Boolean	Whether the object is marked as static.
PositionX	Number	World-space X position.
PositionY	Number	World-space Y position.
PositionZ	Number	World-space Z position.
ScaleX	Number	Local X scale.
ScaleY	Number	Local Y scale.
ScaleZ	Number	Local Z scale.
DistanceFromOrigin	Number	Distance from world origin (0, 0, 0).
DistanceFromPosition	Number	Distance from a custom world-space coordinate.
DistanceFromSceneCamera	Number	Distance from the current Scene View camera.
DistanceFromMainCamera	Number	Distance from the Main Camera.
DistanceFromObject	Number	Distance from a specified reference GameObject.
ComponentCount	Number	Total number of components on the object.
HasComponent	String	Whether the object has a component of the given type name.
HasMaterial	String	Whether the object has a material with the given name.
HasShader	String	Whether any material uses a shader with the given name.
VertexCount	Number	Total vertex count of attached meshes.
TriangleCount	Number	Total triangle count of attached meshes.
ChildCount	Number	Number of direct children.
Depth	Number	Hierarchy nesting depth.
IsPrefab	Boolean	Whether the object is a prefab instance.
HasMissingScript	Boolean	Whether the object has any missing script components.
MaterialCount	Number	Number of materials assigned to the renderer.
BoundsSize	Number	Size of the renderer bounds (diagonal).
HasCollider	Boolean	Whether the object has any collider component.
HasRigidbody	Boolean	Whether the object has a Rigidbody or Rigidbody2D.
ParentName	String	Name of the parent GameObject.

Operators

Nine comparison operators are available. The applicable operators depend on the property type:

Operator	Symbol	Applies To
Contains	contains	String properties
Equals	=	All types
Not Equals	!=	All types
Less Than	<	Number properties
Less Than or Equal	<=	Number properties
Greater Than	>	Number properties
Greater Than or Equal	>=	Number properties
Starts With	startsWith	String properties
Ends With	endsWith	String properties

Combine Modes

When you add multiple filter rules, choose how they combine:

AND - all rules must match. Use this when you want to narrow results progressively (e.g., "objects on layer Default AND with more than 10000 vertices").
OR - any rule can match. Use this when you want to find objects matching any one of several criteria (e.g., "objects tagged Player OR tagged Enemy").

Saving Filters as Smart Groups

Once you have built a filter, click the Save button to store it as a Smart Group. Smart Groups persist and automatically re-evaluate their membership whenever the Browse window refreshes. This is useful for recurring queries like "all high-poly objects without LOD" or "all objects with missing scripts".

Property Selector

The property selector popup provides a searchable list of all available properties. Each property shows a brief description to help you choose the right one. Type in the search field at the top to filter the list quickly.

Example: To find all objects with more than 50,000 triangles that are not using LOD, add two rules in AND mode: TriangleCount > 50000 and HasComponent NotEquals LODGroup.
