Prefabs are Different Size than the Original

Question

Hey so this has never happened to me before, but I'm still new with Unity. I'm creating prefabs. Dragging the prefab into the scene. And the prefab is twice the size as the original.

There was a similar question here, but it was never answered. http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/1304044/gameobject-created-from-prefab-much-larger-than-or.html

Anyone have any idea? Just trying to do a lesson and this is an annoying blocker.

Edit: Just tried it on a new file and I didn't have the issue anymore. Maybe it's a random thing and I just need to start over from the beginning.

Hey,

well that is very strange. If it is regular behaviour however, for example the Prefab has always the same variance in size when instantiated, you could simply transform it's local scale. This should work depending on how complex the prefab is. Particle Systems for example may not scale with the parent object scale with default settings.

 float newScale = 0.5f
 GameObject instantiatedObject = Instantiate(prefabReference);
 instantiatedObject.transform.localScale = new Vector3(newScale, newScale, newScale);

It could also be the case that the parent object of your instantiated prefab object is scaled and the prefab object is scaled according to the parent transform scale.

Thanks, but I figured it out. I think it is actually as you said. I attached the 3D object to an empty game object. When I removed the empty game object from the equation everything worked fine.

So does that mean that having an empty game object as it's parent is causing this?
