Inspector is disabled in unity

Question

I added a blender file to my assets, and when I click on this file in assets I can't add a component such as SkinnedMeshRenderer to the imported asset as shown in this screenshot. How I can add it?

Answer 1

The "Imported Object" is a Unity asset that doesn't accept additional components. Try creating a prefab (right click in Project folder and select Create -> Prefab), give it a unique name, and then drag the "Imported Object" mentioned above, from the Project panel not from the inspector, onto the newly created prefab object in the Project panel. Components can now be added to the prefab. Whenever referencing blender models access them through prefabs in such a way. Prefab copies can be added to the scene by clicking and dragging the prefab into the scene or by using GameObject.Instantiate with scripts.

Answer 2

A SkinnedMeshRenderer is not something you can just add in Unity. As said in the documentation:

Unity uses the Skinned Mesh Renderer component to render Bone animations, where the shape of the mesh is deformed by predefined animation sequences.

A SkinnedMeshRenderer is automatically added when a skeleton is found in your asset. To have a SkinnedMeshRenderer you must export a skeleton from blender. If you don't have a skeleton, it means that a SkinnedMeshRenderer is not required.
