An easy way of using Draw XXL is via components. Draw XXL offers a range of drawer components that can be added to Gameobjects just like you would add other basic components like a Rigidbody or a Collider. Provided you have the Draw XXL asset imported to your project you will find a new folder in the "Add component" menu named "Draw XXL".



In this folder you will find the new available components for beeing added with only one further mouse click. The straightforward way of learning which options are available is to just browse through this "Draw XXL" subfolder and have a look at the names of the components or add some of them testwise to see what they do and which tweaking options they offer in the inspector.



Here are some usage examples:

• Using a "Line Drawer" component to always see a GameObjects forward direction, also if it is not selected:
  
  
  
• Adding a tag text to a GameObject via a "Tag Drawer":
  
  
  
• Display the world grid around a GameObject via a "Grid Visualizer":
  
  
  
• Casting physics shapes through the scene with a "Physics Visualizer" and adjust the cast direction with the transform handle:
  
  
  

The components have many options for tweaking and customization in the inspector. The options are mostly self-explanatory or are explained via tooltips. For example the "Shape Drawer" component hosts over 20 different shapes to choose from.
