Whenever I open a scene it's completely empty despite what it says in Tutorial

Unity Engine
1

I was looking at the example projects, downloaded them, all assets show up in Unity but the scenes are completely empty when I open them in the project panel.

I can tell it’s not a camera problem because none of the objects from that scene appear in the hierarchy panel. The 3d platform tutorial is telling me to open a scene called “TheGame” which was there, and I opened, then to place the player character into the scene on a floating platform in that scene.

The problem is that there is no floating platform, nor is there the huge world that seems to be showing in the tutorial’s picture.

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

All I need is this one question answered and I can get started, does anyone else have this problem?

3

On the hierarchy double-click on the scene. (it has a unity icon).

4

You’re double-clicking on the scene name in the Project panel to open it right?

5

Yes I am opening it in the project panel by double clicking
On the title bar it says TheGame scene is open as well.

6

There is nothing at all in the hierarchy view. It’s completely empty.

7

Has anyone successfully opened one of the tutorials besides the beach demo? (that one worked fine for me)

8

Right.

Are you using Unity 3 or 2.6?

10

Here I am clicking on the scene multiple times with no results.

Looks like you’re using 2.6. The tutorials on the web site have all been updated to 3.0 which is not compatible with 2.6.

Thanks, is 3 the pro version or am I free to get it?

There is a free version of Unity 3: http://unity3d.com/unity/download/

I’m using Unity 3 now, still no scene opening. Same problem.
