name: probuilder-create-poly-shape description: |- Creates a 3D mesh from a 2D polygon outline. Perfect for:
- Floor plans and room layouts
- Custom terrain patches
- Architectural elements (walls, platforms)
- Any shape that can be defined by a 2D outline
The polygon is defined by an array of 2D points (x,z coordinates) that form the outline. The shape is then extruded upward by the specified height.
Examples: - Rectangle: points=[[0,0], [4,0], [4,3], [0,3]] height=2.5 - L-shape: points=[[0,0], [3,0], [3,2], [1,2], [1,3], [0,3]] height=3 - Triangle: points=[[0,0], [2,0], [1,1.7]] height=1
Create a ProBuilder shape from polygon points
How to Call
unity-mcp-cli run-tool probuilder-create-poly-shape --input '{
"points": "string_value",
"height": 0,
"name": "string_value",
"parentGameObjectRef": "string_value",
"position": "string_value",
"rotation": "string_value",
"flipNormals": false,
"isLocalSpace": false
}'
For complex input (multi-line strings, code), save the JSON to a file and use:
unity-mcp-cli run-tool probuilder-create-poly-shape --input-file args.jsonOr pipe via stdin (recommended):
unity-mcp-cli run-tool probuilder-create-poly-shape --input-file - <<'EOF' {"param": "value"} EOF
Troubleshooting
If unity-mcp-cli is not found, either install it globally (npm install -g unity-mcp-cli) or use npx unity-mcp-cli instead.
Read the /unity-initial-setup skill for detailed installation instructions.
Input
| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
points |
any |
Yes | 2D polygon points as [x,z] coordinates. Minimum 3 points. Points should be in clockwise or counter-clockwise order. Example: [[0,0], [4,0], [4,3], [0,3]] creates a 4x3 rectangle. |
height |
number |
No | Height to extrude the polygon upward. Default is 1. |
name |
string |
No | Name of the new GameObject. |
parentGameObjectRef |
any |
No | Parent GameObject reference. If not provided, the shape will be created at the root of the scene. |
position |
any |
No | Position of the shape in world or local space. |
rotation |
any |
No | Rotation of the shape in euler angles (degrees). |
flipNormals |
boolean |
No | If true, flip the normals so the faces point inward instead of outward. |
isLocalSpace |
boolean |
No | If true, position/rotation are in local space relative to parent. |
