Question Entities not visible in Scene View

    Unity 2022.2.0b16 URP
    Entities 1.0.0-exp.12
    Entities Graphics 1.0.0-exp.14

    Starting out with DOTS, I tried the spawn implementation from the Unity documentation example
    https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.entities@1.0/manual/ecs-workflow-example.html

    also I tried a similar one from Turbo Makes Games on YT


    In the video, the spawned entities are visible in Scene View.

    Even though I closely paid attention to the same steps using a fresh Unity Beta (no preferences changed) the entities are only visible in Game View.

    Someone had this before maybe?
    Thanks for any ideas!

    Same. I've upgraded a project and no Entities are visible anymore.

    I was just tooling around getting used to the fact that they're only showing in game view and..... suddenly they're working in scene again. I didn't change anything or do anything, it just started working. Your guess is as good as mine o_O

    SOLVED

    If you aren't seeing entities in the Scene View but you can still see them in the Game View - open the Preferences window (Edit > Preferences...) then on the Entities section, make sure "Scene View Mode" is set to "Runtime Data" not "Authoring Data"

    Great!

    Nevertheless, I don't think this thread is useless for new users in the future.

    Thanks tjumma!

    Seems this should be added to the Unity Manual for 1.0+ as this is not immediately apparent to people trying to transition to ECS now that there is a full release, thanks for the solution.

    I too, had this problem recently. I think the error should also popup in the editor. Why singleton was loaded fine in the editor is still a question for me.

    In Unity Editor 2022.3.X, from menu options go to Edit -> Preferences -> Entities -> Baking.
    Click the dropdown menu and change Authoring Data to Runtime Data.

    This option should really be visible on scene view as an toggle instead of just being in the preference. Not very practical.
