2D Scene Object

The 2D Scene Object is an empty object that can be used as a container for other 2D objects.

The 2D Scene Object is a useful organizational tool for grouping other 2D objects together, resizing objects, and setting pivot points. 2D objects parented under a 2D Scene Object can be manipulated as one unit with a single pivot point.
