<h2>Creating Entities</h2>
<p>Each thing in the world is an <b>entity</b>. Macrovision comes with many of these, grouped into categories. For example, in the Naturals category, you'll find large bodies such as stars, country borders, and planets.</p>

<p>Each entity has one or more views. For example, many characters have a front view and a back view. Some
entities are collections of things, like countries — these have one view for each thing they represent!

<p>When you have an entity selected, you'll see additional sections in the sidebar: one for the entity itself, and one for its current view.</p>
<p>The entity options control things like scale (how big the entity is compared to normal) and display name. You can also pick from one or more default sizes.</p>
<p>Shift+scroll with an entity selected to grow or shrink it. You can also use the <i

</p>
<p>Each entity has one or more views. For example, many characters have a front view and a back view. Each view has its own properties -- most importantly, they each have their own heights. The different views for an entity are kept in sync. If you double the height of a character and switch to their back view, that view will be twice as tall as usual.</p>
