Once added, they become editable **entities**. ### Asset Browser All available assets can be previewed in the [asset browser](../topics/Eden_Editor~3A_Asset_Browser.md). They are divided by type and its specific sub-type. They are further sorted into categories. Assets themselves are represented by an icon. #### Asset Search You can quickly search for the desired asset name. Switching between types and sub-types will not erase the search field. ### Placing Entities To place an entity, click the **Left Mouse Button** on its name in the asset browser, and then click the **Left Mouse Button** on the desired position in the view. The entity will be selected afterwards and you can interact with it (e.g., give it [waypoints](../topics/Eden_Editor~3A_Waypoint.md) or delete it). Alternatively, you can place an entity by **dragging** it from the asset browser to the desired position in the view. You can also **double-click** on an empty space in the scene to add a new entity. A window where you can select entity type will be opened. #### Placing multiple entities To place multiple entities in a row, **hold Ctrl** while placing an entity. It will preserve the placing operation, so you can continue adding more entities. #### Placing vehicles with crew By default, vehicles are placed with crew inside. Toggle between placing manned and unmanned vehicles using a switch below the asset browser. You can also **hold Alt** while placing to inverse the functionality. #### Placing area entities In the map, entities with an area - triggers and markers - can be placed by drawing the area. Click **Left Mouse Button** to select such entity from the asset browser, and then click and hold **Left Mouse Button** in the map. You will start drawing the area. Release the button to confirm the placement. Source: [BI Community Wiki — Eden Editor: Entity Placing](https://community.bistudio.com/wiki/Eden_Editor:_Entity_Placing) (revision 174902).
