Legacy:Toolbox

The toolbox is on the left-hand side of the UnrealEd Interface.

In UnrealEd 2 and newer versions, the toolbox is divided into groups, each of which can be collapsed down. It is scrollable, but in UnrealEd 3 the scrollbar is very narrow and is easily missed.

Modes

These are "tools" in the classic sense: they alter the behaviour of the mouse cursor. The modes group:

1. [[Image:Legacy_button.mode.camera.gif|]] Camera Movement mode: navigate around the map, move objects. Simple rotation is available in this mode too.
2. [[Image:Legacy_button.mode.vertex.gif|]] Vertex editing mode
3. [[Image:Legacy_button.mode.scale.gif|]] Brush scaling mode
4. [[Image:Legacy_button.mode.rotate.gif|]] Brush rotate mode
5. [[Image:Legacy_button.mode.texpan.gif|]] Texture pan mode
6. [[Image:Legacy_button.mode.texrot.gif|]] Texture rotate mode
7. [[Image:Legacy_button.mode.clip.gif|]] Brush clipping mode
8. Polygon drawing mode
9. Face drag mode. In older versions of the editor, activated by typing "MODE FACEDRAG" into the console.
10. Terrain mode
11. Matinee mode

There are also several modes that do not have toolbox icons, due to being experimental or buggy. See binding editor commands for how to access them more easily.

• brush sheer mode
• Geometry mode – "MODE GEOMETRY" (anyone know what this is supposed to do? I can't get anythying out of it!
