Configure global 2D Physics Core settings

Note: This documentation is about using Pose, Area, and Constraint components. To use 2D physics in the Unity Editor using components like the Rigidbody 2D component, refer to 2D physics instead.

To configure global settings for 2D Physics Core, create and assign a Physics Core Settings 2D asset. Follow these steps:

1. In the Project window, select Assets > Create > 2D > Physics (Core) > PhysicsCore Settings 2D.
2. From the main menu, select Edit > Project Settings.
3. In the Project Settings window, select Physics Core 2D.
4. Drag the Physics Core Settings 2D asset from the Project window to the Physics Core Settings setting.

2D Physics Core now uses the settings in the asset.

Configure the settings

To display and edit the settings, in the Project Settings window, select Physics Core 2D > Settings. For a full list of settings, refer to Physics Core 2D reference.

For more information about configuring each section of the settings, refer to the following:

• Configure collisions between 2D Physics Core objects for using and editing the Layers tab settings.
• Share properties across multiple 2D Physics Core components for editing the Default Definitions tab settings.
• Physics Core 2D reference for editing the Global tab settings.
