New editing features available in this mode:</strong>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><span class="style1"><strong>[new]</strong></span> You can <strong>Shift-Select</strong> (usually Select action = LMB) to select all adjacent surfaces with same texture, <strong>Ctrl-Select</strong> to select all adjacent surfaces with same height. <strong>Ctrl-Shift-Select</strong> will also work as expected.</li>

|
|
<li><strong>[UDMF]</strong> Using "<strong>Increase/Decrease brightness</strong>" actions (bound to Ctrl+Mouse Wheel by default) on walls and ceilings will change sidedef/ceiling brightness, using them on floors will change sector brightness, using them on 3D floors will change brightness of 3D floor.</li>
|
|
<li>You can use "<strong>Toggle geometry effects</strong>" action (default key is Tab) to toggle GZDoom's geometry effects, such as slopes, 3D floors, transfer brightness effects etc.</li>
|
|
<li><span class="style1"><strong>[new]</strong></span> You can hold <strong>Shift</strong> while dragging a texture to lock movement to horizontal axis, and <strong>Ctrl</strong> to lock it to vertical axis.</li>
