Add a Model to an Existing World with 'Load World as Paste Brush'

Before using a model as a paste brush, you should first make sure it saved as an Avoyd world file .avwr to help speed up the operation.
To load a world as a paste brush, go through the following steps:

  1. Open the Voxel Editor.
  2. Open menu File > Load World as Paste Brush.
  3. Browse and select an Avoyd world file .avwr.
  4. Use the world file model as a paste brush. (The paste operation is part of the Edit Tool.)
