Create Object

Overview

This tool gives the access to all the object types that can be created within CRYENGINE Sandbox, whether they are assets that are imported from other software or made within the Editor itself, such as the entities created in the Designer tool.

The Create Object tool is shown in the Sandbox interface by default, but can also be found in Tools → Level Editor → Create Object.

The Menu can be accessed via the icon on the top-right corner of the Create Object tool. When clicked, it reveals the following sub-menus:
