Vid - Overview of the CryEngine3 Sandbox User Interface
Tips and tricks

1. The view port is viewed in perspective. By right clicking on 'perspective', other views can be used e.g. wireframe.
2. lock selection = lock the objects selected which allows you to only work with the selected objects.
3. At the bottom of the screen, it shows the speed of the camera. The higher the number chosen, the faster the speed.
4. The button next to 'speed' = leaving that unselected allows you to go through the terrain.
5. Ctrl G = game mode.
6. AI Physics button = like game mode except the character isn't there and you can still edit.
7. 'Go to Position' button = allows you to position the camera
8. ... button = allows you to change some variables of certain things e.g. sound
9. Rollup bar = creating, modifying or bringing things into the editor is done under the rollup bar
10. If the rollup car dissappears, you can get it back by going into 'view'.

Vid - Customising the Editor

1. when you've got many windows opened, you can drag one window to the other to minimise the windows. 
2. Attach panels to the side of your editor = drag and drop the window to one of the 4 icons.  
3. Tools > preferences = can change console background, can enable backup etc. 
4. Creating shortcuts = Tools > customise keyboard > keyboard > select the command, insert a key and then click 'assign'
5. Create command button = Tools > configure user commands > create new macros (create a name) > Scroll and find the command > click apply and then ok.
