Overview
🔥 Stop selecting the wrong objects. Take control of your hierarchy. 🔥
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
- Technical Artists
- Modular scene workflows
- Large prefab-based projects
Why Parent Lock PRO?

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