<div class="wiki"><p>This is a floating window in the <a href="unrealed-3.html">UnrealEd Interface</a> which allows the mapper to add special <a href="brush.html">brush</a>es. Summon it by clicking the square blue button in the <a href="toolbox.html">toolbox</a>'s CSG operations group.</p>

<p>The <em class="em1">Prefabs</em> drop-down list sets the flags automatically for certain predefined types. (Note that it's absolutely possible to create exactly the same effects by manipulating a regular brush manually.)</p>
<p><em class="em2">Tarquin:</em> Not exactly, unfortunately ... I've often had problems with the following: add a sheet ZP as <em class="em1">translucent</em>. Change your mind and remove the translucent flag in the surface properties window. rebuild... the translucent flag (sometimes) returns <img alt=":(" src="emoticons/sad.gif" align="middle"> This might be because it's as single poly brush.</p>
<p class="indent1"><em class="em2">Mychaeel:</em> But then I suppose the same would have happened if you had created that translucent sheet zone portal manually before by creating a sheet and setting its "translucent" and "zone portal" flags. There's hardly any special magic in "Add Special" – it's just for mappers' convenience.</p>
<p><em class="em2">Tarquin:</em> You mean setting <em class="em1">Polyflags</em> in the brush? Yes. Add Special just determines the value of the PolyFlags and CSG property when the brush is created. A simple sheet brush would have no problem being switched from trans to non-trans <em class="em1">surface flags</em>, since there would be no Brush polyflags set. So from that point of view, there's greater flexibility in creating only standard brushes, then setting surface flags on all the polys. I use Add Special for ZPs, ICHs and masked textures. Regular semisolids I add and convert later.</p>
