World Partition Inspector

World Partition Inspector

Module: Design · Category: LevelDesign · Tool ID: WorldPartitionInspector

Analyzes the active level’s World Partition setup. Lists every actor with its data-layer assignments, spatial-loading state, and class. Lists every data layer with its type (Runtime / Editor) and actor count. Detects HLOD layers, flags actors missing data-layer assignments, and exports the audit as CSV.

---

When to use it

• Auditing an open-world level — confirming every actor has the data layer it should
• Pre-cook validation — finding actors missing a layer assignment (a common World Partition bug)
• Inheriting an open-world project — getting an objective view of what’s spatially loaded vs. always loaded
• Reporting partition health to the team via CSV

When not to use it

• Don’t use this on non-WP levels — when the active level isn’t World-Partitioned, the report is mostly empty
• Don’t expect this to author data layers — that’s UE’s Data Layers panel; this audits

Opening the tool

1. Open the EQLabs Hub and search for World Partition (or browse to Design → LevelDesign)
2. Click the tool card
3. Make sure the WP level you want to audit is open
4. Click Inspect

Interface tour

Section	What it does
Inspect button	Walks the active level’s World Partition
Export CSV	Saves the audit as CSV
Summary	Total actors / spatially loaded / non-spatial / missing layer count / HLOD layers detected
Actors list	Per-actor row: name, class, data layer names, spatial flag, missing-layer flag, issue text
Data Layers list	Per-layer row: name, type, actor count, visible flag, runtime flag

Single-click an actor row to select it in the level. Double-click to fly the camera to it.

Workflow

1. Open the WP level
2. Click Inspect
3. Walk the actor list — sort by missing-layer flag to find unassigned actors first
4. Cross-reference with the Data Layers list to see which layers are over- or under-populated
5. Optionally Export CSV for team review

Output

• In-panel results — actors + data layers lists
• CSV export — full audit
• No edits — read-only

Tips & gotchas

• A “missing data layer” can be intentional — global / always-loaded actors don’t need one. Read the warning before fixing
• HLOD layer detection is presence-based — flags whether HLOD layers exist, not whether they’re correctly built
• Single-click selects in viewport; double-click flies the camera
