Tools in this menu allow you to paint a texture onto the terrain, with a selection of texture orientation and scale. There are also tools to fill areas of the terrain with a texture, and to replace textures already on the terrain.

			This list shows the installed textures that are available for selection. Hover the mouse over an item in the texture selection list to see the texture name, and click LMB on a texture to make it the current selection. The current texture is highlighted in the list and is also displayed in a small panel below the list. Scroll the list using the scroll button on the right-hand edge.

Note that PBR Ground Textures adjust the base height of the terrain they are painted onto. If they are used in conjunction with non PBR/Parallax textures care must be taken not to introduce artefacts. For instance, PBR textures placed alongside non-PBR textures should be painted using a small scale, in order to minimize the height difference.
