And this can be navigated by making use of the buttons above the view.

These buttons correspond to the Q, W, E and R buttons on the keyboard.

The first button, the Hand Tool, is purely for navigating.

With this tool selected drag with the left mouse button to pan,

and with the right mouse button to look around First Person style.

Hold the Alt key with this tool and left mouse button drag

will let you orbit around the point you were looking at.

Whilst Alt and right mouse button dragging will zoom the view.

With any object selected in the hierarchy

you can focus on the object either by double clicking the object's name

or by pressing F with the mouse cursor over the Scene view.

The remaining three buttons allow you adjust position,

rotation and scale of objects.

By dragging the corresponding axis handles

you can move objects in X, Y or Z.

Likewise this also applies to moving in 3D

by dragging from the centre,

although this is not necessarily recommended

for moving in 3D space.

Likewise for rotating you can rotate in all three axes,

or you can just drag from within those,

but again a lack of control will occur

when trying to drag in all three axes at once.

And again with scaling

you can scale objects in all three individual axes

or drag from the centre point in order to scale uniformly.

In this instance it is recommended to drag from the centre

in order to keep scale properties in proportion.

In the main bar of the Scene view you will see two drop-down menus

that handle how the Scene view is rendered.

You can switch to wireframe

or look at alpha of how your objects are displayed for example.

These are followed by three toggles.

The first toggle toggles lighting in the scene

The second - whether a skybox is rendered or not.

And the third allows you to preview audio from the game

from wherever the editor camera is currently located.

The editor camera simply refers to the camera

that you are looking at the Scene view from.

It is not a camera object in your scene.

So for example if I were to move my camera very far

away from the sound source and preview the audio again.

You can hear that it's quieter than it was before.

To the right of the panel are the Gizmo menu and search box.

The Gizmo menu lets you adjust gizmos,

the 2D icon shown in the Scene view

to help you identify components in the scene.

Such as lights, audio sources or cameras.

These can be adjusted by size

and also be toggled between 2D and 3D.

The search field lets you to search for a particular object by searching for its name.

And this highlights the object by fading out other objects in your scene.

Again, if you are not focused on the actual object that you've found by searching

then you can simply use the Focus feature to find it.

This search also singles out the object in the Hierarchy

so by then selecting the object you were looking for

and pressing F to focus, or double clicking -

you will then be taken to that object.

The final part of the Scene view you should

understand is the View Gizmo itself.

This allows you to switch from Perspective 3D view

to Orthographic cameras from sides, top and bottom.

When dragging to orbit your view in Orthographic view

you will be switching to Isometric view.

You will be notified of this by the term

ISO written underneath the View Gizmo

but do not confuse this with actual 3D Perspective view

and be aware that you can switch back to Perspective view

simply by clicking on the white cube

in the centre of the View Gizmo.
