FAQ

How precise can my area selections be?

The Select edit area tool allows you to draw custom shapes around specific regions. You can be quite precise, but remember that the AI may affect surrounding areas slightly to ensure natural blending.

Can I undo edits if I don’t like the results?

Each edit creates a new version while preserving the original. You can always return to previous versions or start new edits from any saved stage in your workflow.

What makes a good edit prompt?

Good prompts are specific, descriptive, and focused. Instead of “make it better,” try “add colorful street art murals on the brick walls” or “replace the grass with a Japanese zen garden.”

Can I edit multiple areas at once?

Currently, you select and edit one area at a time. For multiple changes, apply edits sequentially, using each result as the base for the next modification.

How do reference images help?

Add images provides visual examples of what you want to achieve. If you want to add specific architectural details, furniture, or artistic styles, reference images guide the AI more effectively than text alone.

What’s the difference between Preview Draft and Create World?

Preview Draft shows you the edit without finalizing it, letting you review and adjust. Create World commits the changes and creates the final, navigable 3D world.

How does Public Mode work in editing?

When enabled, Public mode makes your edited world visible in the community gallery. This is useful for sharing your creative modifications with other users.

Can I edit worlds created by other users?

You can only edit worlds in your own library. However, if a world is shared publicly, you might be able to create your own version and then edit that copy.
