Hi Guys
Does anyone know if it is possible to display the scene view within a window?
Similar to the below illistation.
I would like is to create a scene window for my map/grid based editor but instead of interacting with all objects in the scene it will only interact with context specific objects. I would still like to view the rest of the objects to position them accordingly.
Yes, it’s possible… However, you’ll probably have to rewrite a new SceneView.
A while ago I investigate that possibility and ended up with something like;
However, it could be a painfully long process, as a SceneView got quite a lot of features.
Another solution to is to bind a SceneView to another panel. There’s a few way to do that (Create a SceneView dock to a specific panel, click on one existing SceneView to bind it, or simply take control of any SceneView in existance) Your own panel would control the behaviour of the SceneView. The downside of this is, if the SceneView doesn’t expose some methods to change its behaviour, you’re back to rewriting it.
There’s sadly no real middle ground in this, and SceneView can hardly be extended. It’s not a sealed class, but I haven’t found any proper way of extending it.
Thanks LightStriker
I will problibly go with creating a new docked scene view. The only real thing I need to do is catch mouse input and restrict selection of object that belong to a specific layer. The rest of the functionality can remain the same. But I know better to get my hopes up on seemingly simple tasks. 
I’ll give it a try and then see what happens.
