Child Topics:

• Designing Brushes
  Brushes are designed using the brush designer window which allows you to define several types of brushes using an intuitive user interface.

• Oriented Brushes
  General purpose brush type that can be used to paint singular objectsor automatically orienting platforms, walls, etc. Oriented brushes automatically choose and paint tiles based upon the surrounding tiles.

• Alias Brushes
  Alias brushes allow you to define new variations of existing brushes such as remapping materials (effectively allowing you to reskin the target brush) or override the values of certain properties.

• Empty Brushes
  Tiles painted using empty brushes have no visual representation which can be useful to fill spaces within oriented brushes, or to assist with custom game logic. For example, it is possible to specify flags.

• Master Brushes
  Master brushes are normal brushes except they cannot be edited using designer without first moving them into the "TileBrushes" folder in your project. The purpose of master brushes is to define reusable templates which cannot be inadvertently modified.

• Hiding a Brush
  Brushes can be hidden from the brush palette by altering its visibility using the brush designer. This is useful for intermediary brushes which are not intended for direct usage.

• Duplicating a Brush
  An existing brush can be duplicated using the create brush window which can be quickly access via the brush's context menu.

• Deleting a Brush
  An unwanted brush can be deleted via its context menu in the brush palette or via the brush menu when brush is shown in designer.
