	You may also wish to combine some of the available drawing modes to create a more complex shape. By switching between drawing modes, without applying or clearing your selection in between, it is possible to preserve a selection made with one drawing mode and add to it with another. For example, to create a square building with a rounded front, you can draw the rectangular area in block mode, switch to circle mode, and draw a circle overlapping the rectangle.

	Besides adding to your selection, it is also possible to subtract. ~~By starting to draw a new part of your selection~~ in an unselected ~~part of the 3D visualization, the newly drawn selection is added~~ to the current selection~~. By starting to draw~~ a ~~new part of your selection in a part of the 3D visualization which is already~~ selected~~, the new selection is actually subtracted~~ from ~~the existing selection~~. For example, to create a square selection with a concave circular front, you can first draw a square selection, and then draw a circle on the existing selection, making it subtract instead. (Please note that this is different from "{{inlink\|Removing}}".)		Besides adding to your selection, it is also possible to subtract. Drawing in an unselected area adds to the current selection, while drawing over a selected area subtracts from it.

	The brush can often also be used to remove elements or properties from the 3D visualization. To do this, you can set the "Operator" setting to "Remove". You will notice your area for valid selections will be (partially) inverted. Places where you were unable to create a valid selection could now be valid, and places where you could make a valid selection will likely be invalid. This is because when you wish to remove something, you must be able to make a valid selection of it. ~~While usually~~, ~~when you wish to draw something, it~~ cannot be placed ~~again in the same place~~.
