The following code with julia 1.7.1 and GLMakie 0.5.0

```julia
using StaticArrays
using GLMakie

const T = Float32
N = 1000

low, hi = Point3{T}(-1,-1,-1), Point3{T}(1,1,1) 
dim = hi - low
points = Ref(low) .+ rand(Point3{T}, N) .* Ref(dim)

s = Scene()
scatter!(s, points, color=:blue)
display(s)

```

produces a static image

while changing the last 3 lines with

```julia
scatter(points, color=:blue)

```

produces the desired interactive 3D image

This was not the case with Julia 1.6 and GLMakie 0.4.6. Does anybody knowns what I am doing wrong on this trivial example? Thanks.

`Scene` got refactored to be lighter which among other things means it no longer tries to pick a suitable camera or draw axis. This functionality has moved to `LScene` which is what `scatter` creates. So instead of `Scene` you should use

```julia
fig = Figure()
ax = LScene(fig[1, 1])
scatter!(ax, ...)
display(fig)

```

Thanks very much. It works.
