Visualising notes

First setup

To get started with Codecks Scene Notes, you can use the Setup Wizard included. Go to Tools > Codecks Scene Notes > Setup Wizard.

Fill in all the fields, login, and confirm. All of the information is saved into Project Settings. You can always use the Wizard again to override the values, or edit them manually from within Project Settings.

Bringing up the overlay

Codecks Scene Notes is operated through a Scene Overlay toolbar. To open it, either hover on the Scene View and press the ` key (the one next to Shift, on a British keyboard), or click on the three vertical dots menu at the top-right corner of the Scene View, and select Overlay Menu:

Once the Overlay Menu opens, click on Codecks Scene Notes to enable the overlay. Once the Codecks Scene Notes overlay is enabled, you should see it appear somewhere in your Scene View:

The overlay appears in its closed state. Click on it to enable it, and load Scene Notes.

Pulling card data

The first time the tool is enabled, it pulls card data from the server.

Once it’s done, you can always force a refresh of the data by clicking the Reload button.

Loading notes for a specific Unity scene

Once a scene is associated to a note, that note will be automatically loaded in Unity when the scene is open. Opening and closing scenes will automatically show/hide the related notes.

Focusing on Scene Notes

If the Scene View is very busy with gizmos and icons, it might be hard to see scene notes. To get focus, click on the Focus button. All gizmos and icons for other components will be disabled, putting the spotlight on the notes.

Click on the button again, or disable the overlay, to see other gizmos again.
