Custom Tool Architecture Summary
Unity editor extension tools streamline production workflows and eliminate human errors. MenuItem binds commands to top menus, EditorWindow provides dockable standalone panels, CustomEditor reshapes Inspector inspectors, and Gizmos/Handles supply in-scene interactive visuals.
