Scene View Bookmarks

Unity editor extension that adds scene view bookmarks, allowing you to quickly return the scene camera to preset positions.

Inspired by camera bookmarks in Unreal Engine.

Requirements

Unity 2019.4 or later. The scene overlay only appears in 2021.2 and up.

Installing

Add the package to your project via UPM using the Git URL:

https://github.com/mminer/scene-view-bookmarks.git

1. Open the Package Manager window in Unity (Window > Package Manager)
2. Click the "+" button in the top-left corner
3. Select "Install package from git URL..."
4. Enter the above Git URL
5. Click "Install"

Alternatively, add the following line to your Packages/manifest.json file:

{
  "dependencies": {
    "com.matthewminer.scene-view-bookmarks": "https://github.com/mminer/scene-view-bookmarks.git",
    ...
  }
}

You can also clone the repository and point UPM to your local copy.

Using

Choose Window > Scene View Bookmarks > Set Bookmark 1 to save the scene camera's current position. When you want to return to the view that you bookmarked, choose Window > Move to Bookmark 1.

For faster access press option / alt 1 to save a bookmark then shift 1 to return to it.

After recalling a bookmark, restore the former scene view using Window > Scene View Bookmarks > Return to Previous View or by pressing shift 0. Think of this as an undo of sorts.

Scene Overlays

If you use 2021.2 or later you can access bookmarks from a dropdown in the Scene window. Click the ⋮ button in the top-right of the window and choose Overlays > Scene View Bookmarks.

Search

Use the svb: filter in Unity's built-in Search window for yet another way to access bookmarks.
