### Shortcut keys

Users can freely draw areas within the scene and use the following shortcut keys to conveniently adjust the tools:

* Activate advanced brush: **N**
* Switch between Brush and Eraser: **Alt**
* Select material to draw: **Shift**
* Adjust Brush/Eraser size: **`[`/`]`**

### Add Assets

After completing the drawing, click the “+” button in the right sidebar to add scatter content. After clicking Add, the scatter will begin to load automatically. Currently, content can be added in the following ways:

* Nature models in Asset Online Library natural: Select plant assets and add them to the scatter content.
* Scatter Presets: Select scatter presets and add them to the scatter content.
* Studio Presets: Select Personal/Team/D5 Curated Catter presets stored in the Cloud and add them to the scatter content.
