You can use the visual grid in the Scene view to precisely align GameObjects by snapping (moving) them to the nearest grid location.
The Scene view grid can be customized in many ways. You can choose which color the grid displays in, which axis to display the grid on, and how transparent or opaque the grid lines appear. You can also change the size of the grid lines and how GameObjects snap to the grid.
Many of Scene view grid actions support keyboard shortcuts. You can refer to which key combinations are assigned to these actions and use the Shortcuts Manager to customize them.
