Voxel Model Brush

Overview

Voxel Model Brush is a voxel editing tool for manually adding and deleting models in the voxel scene in the Editor. It has features of browsing all models, creating collections of models, and controlling the density and range of brush models.

Opening the Voxel Editor

In the Editor, click Windows -> Edit Modes -> Voxel Terrain Mode to open the Voxel Editor window.

Note: When opening the window, click on the voxel in the Level to activate the brush before continuing with the voxel-related operations.

Editing Model Instances

In the Add Model panel, you can Add Instance Type Package and add models (Instance Type) to the package. When adding an Instance Type Package, you can choose whether it is Public or Private. Private means that the added instance type package is privately owned by the planet, while Public means that it is commonly owned by all planets.

Right-click on the model and select Copy, then right-click in the blank space and select Paste to make a copy of the model. Or you can select another model and then right-click to select Paste, which will copy the Place data of the previous model to the currently selected model.

Copy

After adding a model successfully, select a model in the Voxel Editor to view the relevant data of the model. Check a single model in the Instance Type Package and click the voxel in the Level panel to place the selected model. Similarly, check multiple models to place multiple models at the same time.

AddModel

On the voxel, hold the Shift key and click to delete the model in the aperture.
