This brush tool is only available for maps that have a defined index of value names, such as the mask maps used by the Spring plugin. Please see the [[bundywiki>tutorials:ta_spring:aaron|Spring mapping tutorial]] for an example of use. If you change the mouse mode (eg to zoom, etc), you can re-activate this tool by left-clicking within the dialog box. This tool was added with L3DT 2.6.
