Pull and download

Prophouse gives you two ways to get a prop out of the library. Pull delivers a prop and everything it depends on into an Unreal project, in the right folders, through a pull job. Download saves one file to a folder on your computer. Use Pull when the prop is going into a game project; use Download when you want the file itself.

	Pull	Download (Cloud Library and detail page)	Download (Local Library)
What you get	The prop plus its full dependency closure	The one file for the prop’s current version	The one file
Where it goes	Your Unreal project, under a destination root such as /Game/Prophouse	Your download folder (Settings > Downloads)	The app’s local store; the card shows the path
How	A pull job that the Unreal plugin picks up	Directly, in one step	Through the agent; large files continue in Transfers

Pull a prop into a project

1. Open the prop and click Pull in the header. You can also click Pull this on the Dependencies tab, Pull selected with several props selected in the Cloud Library, Pull collection on a collection, or Pull this version in a prop’s version history.

2. In the Pull to project dialog, choose the Target project. The list holds your workspace’s registered projects, most recently used first; every project that has been pulled into is registered automatically. Choose New project… and type the project name (the name of its .uproject file) for a project you haven’t pulled into yet.

3. Optionally change the Destination root. The placeholder shows the project’s default root, or /Game/Prophouse if it has none.

4. Click Queue pull job.

Prophouse works out everything the prop needs, queues a pull job and opens it. The Unreal plugin, running in an editor with that project open, picks up the job and places the files. See Pull jobs for job statuses and reports, and Pull jobs in Unreal for the editor side.

Before you pull, the prop’s Dependencies tab shows a Pull preview: every file the pull delivers, the total size, and a count by asset class.

Note

Pull is disabled for props that have no engine path, such as raw source files. Its tooltip reads This asset has no engine path. Use Download to get the source file.

Download a file

Click Download in a prop’s header. In the Cloud Library grid, source-file props also have a Download link on their card.

The file is saved with the prop’s name and its original extension. Unreal assets without a recorded source file are saved as .uasset (.umap for levels). If a file with the same name is already in the folder, Prophouse saves the new one as name (1).ext, name (2).ext and so on instead of overwriting.

When the download finishes, a message shows the file name with a Show in folder button that opens File Explorer at the file.

Downloading or pulling a prop marks it as used in your workspace. Admins can’t delete a prop once it has been pulled or downloaded; they can deprecate it instead.

Choose the download folder

Downloads go to your Windows Downloads folder unless you pick another one.

1. Open Settings and find the Downloads card. Save downloads to shows the current folder.

2. Click Choose folder and pick a folder.

Click Reset to default to go back to the Windows Downloads folder. This setting applies to the Download button in the Cloud Library and on detail pages; Local Library downloads always go to the app’s local store.
