PolyFlags

In the properties of a Brush, under Brush → PolyFlags you can give all surfaces of the brush default properties that override the Surface Flags (UT) in the Surface Properties window.

In PolyFlags you have to enter a number, what follows is a list of the meaning of all the numbers.

To give a brush two or more properties at the same time, you need to make the sum of the numbers of both properties. For example if you want a Translucent + TwoSided brush, you have to use the number 4 + 256 = 260.

After you entered the number you need to rebuild to see the change.

Here's the list. Flags with no effect are left out:

Flag Name Description
0 Default Use settings from Surface Properties for each individual surface of the brush.
1 Invisible All surfaces of the brush are invisible
2 Masked Use for palettized textures to make the first color in the palette (in Paint Shop Pro at least) invisible, see Color Blending
4 Translucent Darker parts of the textur become transparent, see Color Blending
16 Force View Zone
64 Modulated Greyer parts of the texture become transparent, see Color Blending
128 Fake Backdrop Parallax SkyBox visible through surface
