Turn off Light and Reflection probes

One thing you might want to do when downloading these course assets and projects is turn of the display of the Reflection Probes and Light Probes in the Gizmos menu. See the image below. We could set this up for you if we distributed the EditorUserSettings in the Library folder but it's good to know how to turn these on an off yourself.
