Brush Commands
Brushes let you directly edit terrain by stroking it.
What Are Brushes?
Brushes are Landshape tools that let you edit terrain by clicking it, then dragging your brush across it. Most brushes allow you to change brush radius, strength and many other values.
Why Use Brushes?
Brushes are useful when you wish to quickly edit or tweak your terrain. They can be very fast and expressive. However, they are often less accurate than Pickers.
How to Use Brushes
