Trunk/paylod problem

[harrisjosh2711]

I have built this trunk but I cant seem to remove an object after it is placed unless I zoom in really close. Anyone have any common experiences or advice to fix it.

What do your colliders look like in Unity?

is that 4 convex collider segments that combine to create a cube shaped gap in the middle?

That's kinda what it looks like. Honestly, It was such a rudimentary shape I didn't think I would need to create a collider in blender, I used unity's convex mesh. I have the time right this moment, I'm going to make one in blender right quick and see if that fixes my issue

I'm trying to use this collider now but still having the same issue. Thanks for the help, I really appreciate it.

IDK how to do this, but if you can make it "split" like the fairings do when you hover the mouse over them, it'd be much easier to take stuff out.

It seems that if my camera is below the bottom of the trunk I cant select anything inside it without selecting it all as one piece. But if my camera passes the bottom of the trunk I can select it.

You need to split the collider into segments - how can you use the interior if the physics see it at one convex mesh! The colliders need to, roughly, actually reflect the shape you're trying to achieve. See this screenshot - a roughly trapezoid shape collider that I then duplicate around. I then made different ones for each side of the 'wedge' cutout, and a squat cylindrical one to fill out the bottom of the part.

Got you! makes perfect sense. Thanks again!

EDIT: Split the colliders and it works.
