    Hi,

    I would like to know if (and how) it is possible to draw entities in the Sceneview.
    I'v create a new world and added my entities. they show up in the entity debugger but i cannot get them to render in the Scene view / editor.

    Is this possible ?

    You need [ExecuteInEditMode] on your system, it works with OnUpdate() ([ExecuteAlways] does not work)

    This is not working for me:

    Code (CSharp):
    1. [UnityEngine.ExecuteInEditMode]
    2. public class TestSystem : ComponentSystem
    3. {
    4.     protected override void OnUpdate()
    5.     {
    6.        Debug.Log("Working");
    7.     }
    8. }

    Do you mean during editing or play mode? Also, what components are attached to your entities? Anything that's being drawn with ECS needs at minimum a MeshInstanceRenderer component, Position component, and Rotation component.
