Auto attach to folder in the World Outliner when placing new object in the scene

Hello

Here’s exactly what I want to do:

I select a folder in the World Outliner
, now whenever I drag-n-drop new objects into the scene
, they get automatically placed inside that selected folder in the World Outliner

Bonus points if I could auto-parent them to the first object in that folder as well.

I got no clue how to this, please help.

I have same question too!!

If anyone has this problem and ends up here, here’s the solution. You can select the folder in the level outliner, right click, and select “make current folder”. Then anything you drag into the level will be placed in that folder. Just make sure to clear current when you’re done!

Hi. Thank you for the tip. The button is grey for me when I’m in another level aside from “Persistent”. In this case I still need to move them to a certain level as I’m using level streaming. Or create the items in the level and then use “Move To” to move them to a certain folder.
