Toolbar

The Toolbar is located next to the Scene View and provides access to Foxel’s main editing tools.

The Toolbar also includes the tool options for the active tool. These options are displayed below the tool buttons and change depending on which tool is selected. Additional voxel grid options may also appear near the bottom of the Toolbar for voxel-based assets.

At the bottom of the Toolbar, you will find buttons showing the currently active color and material. Click these buttons to select a different color or material.

For detailed information about individual tools and how they are used, see the Modeling section.

🔺 Figure 1: The Toolbar.

Overview

The Toolbar contains three main parts:

1. Tool Buttons at the top for selecting the active tool
2. Tool Options below, which change depending on the selected tool
3. Voxel Grid Options and Active Color and Material buttons at the bottom

	Rotate Tool	Rotates selected objects and voxels.
	Scale Tool	Scales selected objects and voxels.
	Crop Tool	Removes sections of a voxel grid.
	Select Tool	Selects voxels and pixels.
	Draw Tool	Draws voxels and pixels.
	Erase Tool	Removes existing voxels and pixels.
	Paint Tool	Applies a color to voxels and pixels.
	Material Tool	Applies a material to voxels and pixels.

INFO

Not all tools are available for all asset types. For example, the Rotate Tool is not available for Heightmaps.

Tool Options

The options shown below the tool buttons depend on the active tool. Some tools provide only a few options, while others provide modes, toggles, and additional settings.

Transformation Tool Options

The transformation tools, such as Move, Rotate, and Scale, can show options like the following:

Icon	Name	Description
	Custom/Center	Switches the gizmo position between the object center and the custom pivot.
	Local/Global	Switches the transformation space between local and global.
	Toggle Pivot Edit Mode	Enables or disables pivot editing.
	Snap to Box/Grid	Switches position snapping between the bounding box and the base grid.
	Round Position	Toggles rounding of position values after moving.

Editing Tool Options

Editing tools such as Draw, Erase, Paint, and Select can provide different editing modes and related options.

Icon	Name	Description
	Point Mode	Allows freehand editing and can also edit straight lines between two points.
	Rectangle Mode	Edits voxels or pixels within a rectangular area on a voxel or pixel grid.
	Box Mode	Edits voxels within a cuboid area of a voxel grid.
	Area Mode	Edits voxels or pixels inside a rectangular selection dragged on screen.
	Brush Mode	Edits voxels or pixels using brush strokes.
	2D Flood Mode	Edits similar voxels or pixels on a 2D plane.
	3D Flood Mode	Edits similar voxels across an entire voxel grid.
	Contiguous	Toggles continuous flooding for 2D Flood Mode and 3D Flood Mode.
	Brush Size	Sets the brush size for Brush Mode.
	Shape	Sets the shape used by Rectangle Mode.
	Shape	Sets the shape used by Box Mode.

Stamp Tool Options

The Stamp Tool provides options for transforming and repeating the selected Mini.

Icon	Name	Description
	Rotate	Sets the rotation of the mini in 90° increments.
	Flip Horizontally	Flips the mini horizontally.
	Flip Vertically	Flips the mini vertically.
	Repeat Horizontally	Toggles horizontal pattern repeat.
	Repeat Vertically	Toggles vertical pattern repeat.
	Elevate	Toggles whether the mini's height information is used.

Voxel Grid Options

When the open asset is a Voxel Scene or Voxel Movie, additional voxel grid options are shown above the active color and material buttons.

These options are always available for voxel-based assets, regardless of the selected tool.

Icon	Name	Description
	Auto Extend	Automatically expands the voxel grid when a tool action requires more space to complete.
	Auto Optimize Size (Safe)	Automatically shrinks the voxel grid after a tool action to the minimum required size. The grid size will not be reduced below 8 × 8 × 8.
