Vertices mode:
[UDMF] Vertical offsets of a vertex can be edited in Vertex Edit form and are shown in Vertex Info panel.
When a linedef is within Split Linedefs range, it is highlighted using Info line color.
GZDB Visual mode:
GZDB Visual mode is the result of merging Doom Builder's Visual mode and GZDoom Visual mode. Warning: GZDoomEditing.dll and UDMFControls.dll plugins are no longer supported by GZDoom Builder and should be removed from "Plugins" folder.

[new] New action: "Look Through Selection" (default key is "Y"). This action places visual camera at the same position as selected/highlighted thing and rotates it to match thing's angle. Special handling is available if targeted thing is AimingCamera, MovingCamera, SecurityCamera or InterpolationPoint.
[new] New actions: "Auto-align Textures to Selection (X)", "Auto-align Textures to Selection (Y)" and "Auto-align Textures to Selection (X and Y)".
