The toolbar shelf runs along the top of the Unity interface, just below the menu bar. Although there are just a few tools here, they will be widely used throughout our game development, so let’s get to know them.

Transform Tools

The Transform tools are how you will manipulate your GameObjects in the Scene View. Being able to lay out your game Scenes, place items in the world, and alter their size and position is vital to making an immersive experience. Figure 1.11 shows the Transform tools.
