Load a grid of cubes in the scene view before running level?
My game requires a grid of cubes touching one another as the ground and looks something like this 
The way I currently implement the grid creation is that I have the following script attached to the camera:
void Start ()
{
float y = 0;
for (int x=-10; x<10; x++)
{
for (int z = -10; z<10; z++)
{
cube = (GameObject)Instantiate (Resources.Load ("Prefabs/Cube"), new Vector3 (x, y, z), Quaternion.identity);
}
}
}
The problem with this implementation is that the grid isn't displayed until I run the game (which makes it very hard to edit my level because I can only edit it in the scene view when the game is NOT running). Is there any way in Unity to be able to automate the loading of a grid of cubes in the scene (like a script) to be displayed BEFORE running a level and not during? This would save me the tedious work of manually dragging in 100 cubes to be equidistant from each other in the level editor.
Yes that is quite possible. You will need to learn Editor Scripting. With that you can easily create whatever editor tools you want or need. Take also a look at the manual for extending the editor. Or you can search around the Asset store, there are multiple assets already having that functionality, like this one: http://u3d.as/content/a-lab-software-limited/rapid-unity-array-wizard/1u2
Or you can run your level and then pause it. Cubes will be visible in the hierachy, you can copy / paste it in another scene.
