How do I open the Scene Window?

To start with Unity, you must learn how to open the Scene Window. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Launch Unity

It would help if you launched Unity on your computer. This way, you can follow this guide to open the Scene Window. If you still need to install Unity (why are you reading this? :)), visit the official Unity website to download and install the latest version.

Create or Open a Project

Once Unity is up and running, you can either create a new project or open an existing one. Click “New” to create a new project or “Open” to access a current project from your computer.

Open Scene Window

You can find the most essential functions in Unity in the Menu bar. The Open Scene Window is no different. Like other windows, Unity located it in the"Window" menu. To open the Scene Window, follow these steps:

1. Go to the “Window” menu in the top toolbar.
2. Click on the “General” menu.
3. To open the Unity Scene Window, click on "Scene".

Arrange the Scene Window

Once you’ve selected “Scene,” the Scene Window will appear on your screen. Good job!

You can arrange its position and size according to your preferences by clicking and dragging its title bar or edges. You can also drag and drop it into your UI layout.

To add it as a tab of your player view section, drag and drop it into the same bar as the Game view.

Add the Scene Window to the same window group as your game view to tab back and forth between the game and scene view.

Customize the Scene Window

Unity allows you to customize the Scene Window to suit your needs. You can turn various features like gizmos, lighting, and audio sources on or off by using the icons at the top of the Window.
