About Root Lock PRO – Smart Hierarchy Selection Tool
- Tools, Systems & Learning > Development Tools & Automation
**Have you ever tried to move an entire building but accidentally grabbed a small mesh piece instead?**
Or selected a character’s hand, wheel, or prop when you actually needed the main root object?
This happens constantly in large scenes and prefab-heavy workflows — and it slows everything down.
**Parent Lock PRO** is an advanced Unity Editor workflow tool designed to eliminate accidental child selection and give you full control over what can and cannot be selected in your scene.
Click any child → select the parent root.
Block terrain selection.
Block entire layers.
Override anytime with Alt.
No more broken prefabs. No more wrong clicks. No more frustration.
**Core Features**
🔹 **Easy Setup**
One-click Root Lock toggle directly in the Hierarchy. No setup needed.
🔹 **Smart Root Selection**
When Root Lock is enabled, selecting any child object automatically redirects selection to its parent root.
This prevents:
* moving individual mesh parts by mistake
* breaking prefab structures
* accidental edits inside complex hierarchies
Works with:
* prefabs
* nested hierarchies
* modular environments
* characters and props
**🔹 Hierarchy Toggle Column**
* Enable or disable Root Lock directly from the Hierarchy
* One-click toggle per object
* Visual status indicators
🔹 **Alt Bypass**
Hold Alt to temporarily ignore Root Lock and selection blockers.
Select children when needed — without disabling the system.
🔹 **Selection Control System**
Parent Lock PRO goes beyond simple root selection.
You can also:
* block Terrain selection
* block specific layers
* prevent unwanted background clicks
* protect large environments from accidental edits
🔹 **Smart Workflow Design**
* Instant enable from Inspector
* Visual feedback directly in Hierarchy
* Fully Editor-only
* Zero runtime impact
Perfect For
* Level Designers
* Environment Artists

**Why Parent Lock PRO?**
Most tools only redirect child selection to the root.

* root locking
* selection blocking
* hierarchy toggles
* Alt bypass workflow
* visual UI integration
This transforms Unity hierarchy interaction into a safer, faster, production-ready workflow.
