Painting with Landscaping Brushes
The Additive Brush and Subtractive Brush tools can both be used to paint landscaping on the terrain using the currently selected landscaping brush, and they both attempt to change the density of the landscaping to match the Master Density setting. The additive brush does this by adding new instances to the world, and the subtractive brush does this by removing instances from the world.
The Brush Radius setting controls the size of the landscaping brush. When the additive brush or subtractive brush tool is selected, a circle having this radius is projected onto the ground when the cursor is inside the perspective viewport.
When instances belonging to a landscaping brush are added to the world with the landscaping tools, they are never placed in such a way that they intersect other objects that don't belong to the landscaping brush. The small display below the list of landscaping brushes shows green pixels where instances belonging to the brush were detected and red pixels where external objects were detected.
