Including Lighting Models for UIBlock3D

[darrendelorme]

Hi, I'm trying to rebuild a UI I previously designed and implemented with Unity UI. When I try to match the color pallet, I'm not getting an exact match of color because, with Unity UI, I have unlit UI elements.

When I use a UIBlock3D and apply unlit under the Visuals I'm prompted to include the unlit lighting model. I accept it and see Unlit is added, but after saving my scene or starting my build, the included Unlit model disappears.

This image shows when it's added:

This image shows after I save my scene:

Hi!

In our initial testing we were unable to reproduce this issue, so a few follow up questions to better understand what's going on here:

1. What version of Unity are you using?
2. After the Unlit option disappears from your settings, does the "Add Lighting Model" prompt reappear the next time you use the Unlit surface type on UIBlock3Ds?
3. If you add the Unlit model to your Nova settings manually through the Project Settings window and then save, does the Unlit model still disappear after starting a build or saving your scene?
4. Same question as (3) but, instead of adding the model through Project Settings, you add the Unlit model directly through the NovaSettings asset in the Inspector and then save? The NovaSettings asset path is Assets\Nova\Resources\NovaSettings.asset.

Thanks!

Thank you for the quick reply. I'm using Unity version 2021.3.27f1.
Yes, after the lighting model disappears I get the prompt again to add it. Although the lighting model on UIBLock3D stays set to Unlit so I have to change it back to Lambert or Standard then back to Unlit to see the prompt again.
If I manually add the Unlit model and save the scene it also disappears.
Oh. I was unaware of #4's option. I added Unlit under Assets\Nova\Resources\NovaSettings.asset and that seems to fix it!
