This mode is used to create detail mesh entities. These are useful for adding details to a level without much impact on the performance.


    * **Main category**: this ComboBox is used to select the current set of objects. Sets should map to directories under the static_objects directory in redist.

    * **Subcategory**: this ComboBox will show all subsets inside the set picked previously. 

    * **Object list**: all objects under the selected subcategory. Clicking on an entry will select a static object file to be used in following placements.


    * **Thumbnail**: shows a little picture so you can see how the object looks like.
    * **Create on surface**: when this is on, you are able to create objects on the surface of other objects, such as static objects, entities, primitives or terrain.


    * **Scale settings**: this sets the scale for the object on creation. Can be set to a fixed or a random value, the latter defined by a range given by both scale inputs, min and max.


    * **Rotation settings**: this sets the rotation for the object on creation. Can be set to a fixed or a random value, the latter defined by a range given by both rotate inputs, min and max.

    * **Color settings**: this will define a color range from which a color will be picked for every new placed object.
