Customising The Editor

5 ways I can customize the Editor's interface are:

1. By going to the 'Tools' menu, the user is able to select which toolbars they wish to have available on the screen whilst building their environment.

2. For better performance on weaker computers, the user is able to go to the 'config spec' menu option and change between the levels of graphics display ranging from Low(faster performance on poor quality computers) and Very High (for more advanced computers)

3. By going to 'Display' on the menu panel, the user has the option of viewing their model in various forms, two in particular, being wire mode (shortcut F3) and also a 2d Perspective mode ( Shortcut SHIFT + TAB)

4. The user can manipulate the speed at which they move around the environment by changing the speed option at the bottom of the screen in middle. The setting is usually set at 1, but I have personally have it set at 3-4 so that I do not have to wait as much.

5. Rather than dragging an object around the environment, the user can simply select the object or entity and change its co ordinates be entering them in the bar at the bottom of the screen.
