Check that it worked

  • Selected objects show the scene's selection outline.
  • The inspector displays the selected object's name and tabs.
  • Multi-selection indicates how many objects are selected.

Useful tips and common mistakes

  • Rename objects clearly so they are easy to find in Hierarchy.
  • If one object is hidden behind another, use Hierarchy instead of repeatedly clicking the scene.
