> The nesting depth of the build step.

## Definition

* **Type:** Property
* **Namespace:** [UnityEditor.Build.Reporting](/engine/6000.5/script-reference/unityeditor/build/reporting.md)
* **Assembly:** UnityEditor.CoreModule

```csharp
public readonly int depth { get; }
```

### Remarks

The build process is broken down into steps, and steps may themselves be broken down into sub-steps recursively. The nesting depth indicates how many higher-level build steps enclose this step. The step that represents the overall build process has depth 0, the sub-steps of that step have depth 1, and so on.
