To fit a RealityKit Entity to the bounds of the view, you can use the RealityKit debugger to inspect and adjust the transformations of your entities. Here are some steps and tips based on the sessions from WWDC:

  1. Inspect the Entity: Use the RealityKit debugger to inspect your entity and its transformations. This can help you understand how the entity is currently positioned and scaled within the scene.

  2. Adjust Transformations: Ensure that the transformations (position, orientation, and scale) of the entity are set correctly. You might need to adjust these transformations to fit the entity within the bounds of the view.

  3. Hierarchy Considerations: Be mindful of the transformation hierarchies. The final placement of an entity is a combination of its own transformations and those of all its ancestors. Adjusting the hierarchy might be necessary to achieve the desired fit.

  4. Use Anchor Entities: If your app uses an immersive space, you can anchor RealityKit content to the world using anchor entities. This can help in setting up the correct positioning and scaling.

By following these steps and utilizing the RealityKit debugger, you can effectively fit a RealityKit Entity to the bounds of the view.
