Noob question - what is this icon?

I’m going nuts trying to figure it out and don’t know how to describe it well enough to google it - it shows on/under an object in the Viewport and game preview

Hi @WittyWittrock

Its just a place holder for a scene object. Its not seen in game. Its main use is to locate objects that arent physically seen like a mesh is.

Scene objects are kinda like a null good for attaching things to , or rotating several objects together as its child.
