### Selecting Entities

#### Basic Selection

To select any entity in your scene, just click on it once. You can also double click any entity in your [Hierarchy](/using-the-editor/hierarchy.md) to find it in the scene quickly.

#### Group Selection

To select many entities at once, drag your mouse across the scene to create a box that will select all entities within it.

#### Lasso Tool

Hold alt and drag your mouse around the scene to select only the items that cross your mouse's path!

#### Overlapping Entities

To choose between entities that overlap or select an item behind another one, click the item multiple times to swap between them.

### Editing Tools

#### Position, Rotation, Scaling, and Depth Offset

You can use the tools in the top left of the scene view to switch between positioning, rotating, scaling and changing the depth offset of entities in your world.

When you select each tool, it will show an overlay over the entity in the scene you can use to adjust its properties.

If you click and drag the center circle, this will freely move the tree anywhere you want.

You can click and drag the red or green arrows to lock your movement left/right or up/down for more precise adjustments.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.allout.game/using-the-editor/introduction-scene-view.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
