Validation & Baking

Validation and Fixes

The Finish tab lists problems with a Show button that frames the spot. Many have a one-click fix:

• Debris slopes of two cliffs overlap – Steeper Debris
• The debris was narrowed in a sharp bend – Smooth All Knots
• No ground found under the cliff – Use Everything (Ground Layers)
• The cliff has no theme – Use Default Theme

Preview

• Preview Quality – Draft, Standard or High. While you drag, the preview drops to Draft without colliders and rocks.
• Preview Colliders – colliders on the live cliff, so you can walk on it in Play mode.
• Chunk Length – the cliff is split into pieces of about this length for culling; the pieces share their edges exactly.
• Regenerate rebuilds everything; Clear Generated removes the output and keeps the settings.

Baking

Bake Cliff saves the cliff as Name.prefab with its meshes in Name_Meshes.asset. Before baking, choose:

• Quality
• Colliders
• LODs
• Rocks
• Lock After Bake
• Swap In Scene
• Folder

The baked prefab has no Cliff Builder scripts. Unbake / Edit unlocks the cliff so you can change it and bake again.
