Physics Debug window reference

Use the Physics Debug window to configure and generate visual representations of 3D physics activity in a sceneA Scene contains the environments and menus of your game. Think of each unique Scene file as a unique level. In each Scene, you place your environments, obstacles, and decorations, essentially designing and building your game in pieces. More info
See in Glossary
. These visualizations appear in the Scene viewAn interactive view into the world you are creating. You use the Scene View to select and position scenery, characters, cameras, lights, and all other types of Game Object. More info
See in Glossary
.

To open the Physics Debug window in the Unity Editor, go to Window > Analysis > Physics Debugger.

Physics Debugger inserts a Physics debug panel in the Scene view, and opens a Physics Debug window that contains the following tabs:

  • Info: Track Rigidbody and Articulation Body information. Center of MassRepresents the average position of all mass in a Rigidbody for the purposes of physics calculations. By default it is computed from all colliders belonging to the Rigidbody, but can be modified via script. More info
    See in Glossary
    and Inertia Tensor visualization can also be found here.
  • Filtering: Determine which physics objects should be shown.
  • Rendering: Settings that define how Unity renders and displays the physics visualization.
  • Contacts: Select whether or not contacts should be visualized.
  • Queries: Select whether or not queries should be visualized.

To revert the Physics Debug window back to its default settings, select Reset.

For more information on improving physics performance in your project, see documentation on the Physics Profiler.

Physics debug panel

When the Physics Debug window is open in Unity, the Physics Debug panel appears in the Scene view. By default, it appears in the bottom-right corner of the Scene view; however, you can click and drag to move it around.

Property Description
CollisionA collision occurs when the physics engine detects that the colliders of two GameObjects make contact or overlap, when at least one has a Rigidbody component and is in motion. More info
See in Glossary
Geometry
Enable Collision Geometry to visualize collision information in the Scene view. Disable Collision Geometry to hide collision information in the Scene view.
Mouse Select Enable Mouse Select to enable mouse-over highlighting and mouse selection. This is useful if you have large GameObjectsThe fundamental object in Unity scenes, which can represent characters, props, scenery, cameras, waypoints, and more. A GameObject’s functionality is defined by the Components attached to it. More info
See in Glossary
that obstruct each other in the visualization.

Info

The Info tab contains data about any selected RigidbodyA component that allows a GameObject to be affected by simulated gravity and other forces. More info
See in Glossary
or ArticulationBody GameObjects. You can use this data to monitor the physics body’s behavior. You cannot edit the property values in this tab. You can modify them via script, but it is not recommended; in most cases, you should apply forces via the physics system to change these values instead.

To keep a specific GameObject permanently docked in the Info tab, enable Lock for that GameObject. You can lock an infinite number of GameObjects. Use the Number of items per row property to arrange the Info tab in a way that is easiest for you to navigate.

The Info tab always displays the following properties.

Property Description
Number of items per row Define how many selected GameObjects to display horizontally in the top row of the Info tab.

By default, if you select or lock multiple GameObjects, Unity displays them all vertically. However, you can arrange them horizontally instead. Use Number of items per row to define how many GameObjects to display next to each other on one horizontal row, up to a maximum of 10.

If the number of selected or locked GameObjects exceeds this number, the more recently selected GameObjects appear on a new row underneath the first.

GameObjects always appear in the Info tab in the order of selection. The default value for this property is 1.
Tracked objects Displays the total number of unique GameObjects that currently appear in the Info tab. This includes selected GameObjects and locked GameObjects. It does not include duplicates.
Clear locked objects Select Clear locked objects to disable Lock for all GameObjects. This removes any GameObjects from the Info tab that are not already selected in the Hierarchy window.

The Info tab displays the following properties when you select a GameObject in the Hierarchy that has a physics body (that is, a Rigidbody or an ArticulationBody).

Property Description
GameObject Displays the name of the selected or locked GameObject that the following properties refer to.
Draw Gizmos for Select which physics property the Physics Debug should display a gizmoA graphic overlay associated with a GameObject in a Scene, and displayed in the Scene View. Built-in scene tools such as the move tool are Gizmos, and you can create custom Gizmos using textures or scripting. Some Gizmos are only drawn when the GameObject is selected, while other Gizmos are drawn by the Editor regardless of which GameObjects are selected. More info
See in Glossary
for.
- Center of Mass Display a gizmo that indicates the location of the physics body’s global center of mass (see World Center of Mass).
- Inertia Tensor Display a gizmo that indicates the rotation and scale of the physics body’s Inertia Tensor (see Inertia Tensor).
Lock Enable Lock to keep the GameObject in the Info tab even when it is not selected in the Hierarchy window.
Speed The speed at which the physics body is moving, measured in meters per second (m/s).
Velocity The velocity of the physics body along each vector, measured in meters per second (m/s).
Angular Velocity The velocity of the physics body along each vector, measured in degrees per second.
Inertia Tensor The inertia tensor of this physics body. Like mass, an inertia tensor defines how much force or torque is required to make a physics body move; however, while mass affects linear movement, inertia tensor affects rotational movement. The higher the Inertia Tensor value is, the more torque is required to make the physics body rotate on its axis.
Inertia Tensor Rotation The rotation of the inertia tensor. By default, Unity calculates inertia tensor rotation automatically, based on all of the collidersAn invisible shape that is used to handle physical collisions for an object. A collider doesn’t need to be exactly the same shape as the object’s mesh - a rough approximation is often more efficient and indistinguishable in gameplay. More info
See in Glossary
attached to the physics body.
Local Center of Mass The local location of the physics body’s center of mass along each vector. To change the center of mass via script, use centerOfMass. Unity can also change it based on collider placement.
World Center of Mass The global location of the physics body’s center of mass along each vector. To change the center of mass via script, use worldCenterOfMass. Unity can also change it based on collider placement.
Sleep State The sleep state of the physics body. Displays Awake if the physics body is awake and included in physics calculations. Displays Asleep if the physics body is asleep, and not included in physics calculations.
Sleep Threshold The energy threshold for the physics body, below which the physics engineA system that simulates aspects of physical systems so that objects can accelerate correctly and be affected by collisions, gravity and other forces. More info
See in Glossary
stops including the body in physics updates. By default, this is the Sleep Threshold value defined in the global Physics settings.
Max Linear Velocity The maximum linear velocity the physics body can reach, defined by maxLinearVelocity.
Max Angular Velocity The maximum rotational velocity the physics body can reach, defined by maxAngularVelocity.
Solver Iterations The number of iterations that the physics system solver needs to perform on this physics body.
Solver Velocity Iteration The number of velocity iterations that the physics system solver needs to perform on this physics body. These bring the exit velocity of overlapping GameObjects closer to the correct value, taking into account the contact bounciness.
Body Index The Articulation Body index in the tree. This property only appears for Articulation Bodies.
