Unity tabs - mariusz-tang/KTaNE-Module-Template GitHub Wiki

It's recommended that you read through this if this is your first time using Unity as these tabs will be referred to throughout the rest of the guide.

The Unity window contains several tabs within it.

  • The Hierarchy tab (A) contains your scene, and the objects within it. Initially this will just be the Main Camera, and a Directional Light. Double-click on an object in the Hierarchy to centre your view on that object.
  • The Scene tab (B) displays the scene. In the top right is the Scene Gizmo, which lets you snap your view to an axis, and change your view mode.
  • The Inspector tab (C) shows information about the currently-selected object, or nothing if no object is selected. This is where you can add Components to an object, and edit their fields.
  • The Project tab (D) allows you to access your files from your project's Assets folder from within Unity.

Additionally, in the same space as the Project tab is the Console tab. This is where any logging or errors will show up. In the same space as the Scene tab is also the Game tab, which shows the in-game view. Unity should automatically switch to this tab when you press the Play button.
