Visual Mode

Doom Builder

Visual Mode

The Visual Mode is different from the other modes. In this mode you can walk and fly through your map in 3D and see it as it would look like in game. With the crosshair you can aim at objects (floors, ceilings, walls and things) and edit them instantly. You can also select objects and perform actions on all objects together. Note that not all actions apply to an entire selection.

Default Controls

W Switches from any classic editing mode to this mode and back to the previous mode.
LMB Select the targeted object. For walls, hold down this button to drag the texture offsets.
RMB Edit the targeted object's properties.
MMB Pastes the copied texture image or flat image onto the target or selection.
Control+RMB Opens the Image Browser to select a new texture or flat for the targeted or selected object.
Shift+MMB Flood-fills with the copied texture image or flat image onto the target. This fills all adjacent textures or flats that are identical to the original. Note that this action is only applied to the targeted object and does not work for a selection.
C Clears the selection.
E Move forward. Hold Shift to move faster.
D Move backward. Hold Shift to move faster.

G Toggle gravity on/off.
B Toggle full-brightness on/off.
L Toggle lower unpegged linedef flag on/off.
U Toggle upper unpegged linedef flag on/off.
T Toggle things on/off/boxed. When things are set to boxed, you will see the bounding box of things around them in the color of their category.
A Auto-aligns the neighbouring textures horizontally, until a wall is encountered that has different textures. Note that this action is only applied to the targeted object and does not work for a selection.

The vertical alignment takes the ceiling height differences between sidedefs into account. Note that this action is only applied to the targeted object and does not work for a selection.
