Description

Unity now has customizable overlays that we should use for assets that aren't in the asset lib, such as walls, ramps, rubbers, the trough, metal guides and lights.

At the same time, enable quick access to the asset library. Maybe even with links to direct filters like for spinners, targets, etc.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Research Unity's customizable overlays API. Understand how to create a custom overlay in the Scene View. Plan which toolbox items (walls, ramps, rubbers, etc.) to include and how to integrate asset library filters. Implement the overlay with proper UI elements.
