2. Show safe frame - working with cinematics and working with a specific ratio (customisations to viewport
3. Specific resolution or customised resol. can be changed at the top right of game screen
4. Isolating rocks - type 'rock' in search, and everything in the level is hidden, except for the the entities with 'rock' in the name
5. Lock selection - only work with the objects selected
6. Speed of zooming with the mouse can be changed at the bottom of the screen
7. AI/Physics - can move around in the game with the enviroment active without actually using the character.
8. Button on the left side of 'AI/Physics' - on/off > move down through the ground, or make it solid
9. Console allows to input comments. Or double click on the input bar for the "console variables" (allows for all the valid comments. eg. turning things on/off, or varying values) to come up (or click on "...")
