Scene Area in a 2D Project

In a Unity 2D project, the Scene area usually looks like a flat workspace.

The two most important axes are:

• Y Axis — Up and down

The Z axis is usually kept at or near zero for basic 2D objects.

Example

If you are creating your first 2D game, you might place the following objects in the Scene:

• Ground
• Coin
• Platforms
• Enemies

You can click each object in the Scene and use the Move, Rotate, and Scale tools to change it.
