# Setting Up The Scene
## Creating the Scene
First, create a new folder in your Unity project and name it. For this example, we'll name it **'2D City Builder Tutorial Demo'**.
Next, create a new scene inside this folder. To do this, right-click in the folder, select **Create > Scene**, and name the scene. Here, we'll name it **'2D City Builder Tutorial Demo Scene'**.
***
## Adding Primary Prefabs
Now, locate the **Grid Managers** and **EGB Pro 2 Grid XY** prefabs in the **SoulGames > Easy Grid Builder Pro 2 > Prefabs** directory, and drag them into your scene.
Next, navigate to **SoulGames > Easy Grid Builder Pro 2 > Prefabs > Built In UI**, find the **EGB Pro 2 UI Prefab**, and drag it into the scene as well.
After adding these prefabs to your scene, select all three in the **Hierarchy**, then right-click, go to **Prefab**, and select **Unpack Completely**.
{% hint style="info" %}
Make sure to unpack the prefabs to prevent any potential issues that could arise in the future.
{% endhint %}
{% hint style="info" %}
Ensure the **'Grid Managers'** component's **Transform** values (Position, Rotation, and Scale) remain at their default settings: **0, 0, 0**. Do not modify these values or make any of these objects a child of another object.
{% endhint %}

## Setting Up The Grid
Now, select the **EGB Pro 2 Grid XY** object from your hierarchy. This will serve as our grid system. While you can use multiple grid systems if needed, this tutorial will focus on a single grid system.
As you’ll notice, this object has two components attached. Use the provided links to explore these components and their use cases in greater detail.
* [**Easy Grid Builder Pro XY**](/easy-grid-builder-pro-2-documentation/primary-components/easy-grid-builder-pro-xz-xy.md)
* [**Grid Data Handler**](/easy-grid-builder-pro-2-documentation/primary-components/easy-grid-builder-pro-xz-xy/grid-data-handler.md)
Next, open the **Core Grid Properties** section in your **Easy Grid Builder Pro XY** component. Click the **refresh icon** next to the **Grid Unique ID** property to generate a new unique ID for your grid. This ID is essential for **Saving** and **Loading** functionality.
At this point, you may notice that the grid is not visually represented in the scene. This is because the grid system is currently set to work only in **Play Mode**. To enable the grid visuals in the Editor, toggle the **Update Grid In Editor** property in the **Core Grid Properties** section. This will generate the grid visualization directly in your scene.
{% hint style="info" %}
If you still don’t see the grid visual after enabling the **Update Grid In Editor** property, follow these steps to troubleshoot:
1. Navigate to **SoulGames > Easy Grid Builder Pro 2 > Prefabs > Grid Visuals**. Locate the **Object Grid (Object Prefab)**. Double-click the prefab to open it, then close it. This will refresh the prefab and may resolve the issue.
2. If the issue persists, go to **SoulGames > Easy Grid Builder Pro 2 > Misc Assets > Materials**. Locate the **Grid Plane Shader Graph Material**, right-click on it, and select **Refresh**. This will refresh the material and should resolve the problem.
{% endhint %}

## Setting Up The Camera
Let’s set up the **Camera** to fit our 2D game.
* Start by selecting the **Main Camera** object from your **Hierarchy** and switching to the **Game view**.
* In the **Camera** component, change the **Projection** to **Orthographic**. Then, in the **Projection** section, set the **Size** to **10**.
* Next, configure the background in the **Environment** section. Set the **Background Type** to **Solid Color** and choose a **dark gray** color or any color that matches your preference.
* Finally, adjust the **Transform** component by setting the **Position** to **0, 0, -10**.
This setup will ensure your camera is properly configured for a 2D game environment.
