Not quite right yet, eh?
Why?
When there is little in the scene, moving prefabs into the scene can be a
strange experience. It is very tough to understand where an object is in
world space or even how big the object is within that space. By moving
both the First Person Controller and EntryWay to world center, we can get

Step 8:
Scale EntryWay to fit appropriately in the scene. To do this, tweak the
EntryWay prefab's import settings. In the Project panel, click once on EntryWay.
This will open the EntryWay's characteristics in the Inspector. Specifically, in
the FBXImporter section, the Inspector will show the settings Unity used when
importing EntryWay.fbx into the Unity project. Change the Scale Factor to

and press the Apply button. Now adjust the Scale Factor as needed (

scene.
Why?
Why not simply scale the object in the Scene view? In many cases, that
would be perfectly acceptable, and actually in this case that would work
since the EntryWay prefab is likely to be used only once. However, when a
