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.
The Scene Object is a similarly empty object used to house other 3D objects. Learn more about Scene Objects.

The 2D Scene Object is automatically nested under a 2D Camera object in the Hierarchy panel. The 2D Camera is necessary for rendering the 2D Scene Object.
