# PresetType

> Stores a type to which a Preset can be applied.

## Definition

* **Type:** Struct
* **Namespace:** [UnityEditor.Presets](/engine/6000.3/script-reference/unityeditor/presets.md)
* **Assembly:** UnityEditor
* **Implements:** [IEquatable\<PresetType>](https://learn.microsoft.com/dotnet/api/system.iequatable-1)

```csharp
public struct PresetType : IEquatable<PresetType>
```

## Remarks

Only classes that inherit from UnityEngine.Object are represented by a PresetType.

This structure is used instead of Type because some native C++ types in Unity are not exposed to managed C# for optimization reasons.
