The Desktop Editor’s Creator tools provide a set of commonly used tools for building scenes and asset use. Each option provides a menu of different types of tools that you can use for creating your worlds.
This toolbar contains the following creator tool options:

Use Build tools to create objects to add to your scene.
This menu includes a variety of tools such as:
- Shapes for creating geometric objects like cubes, shperes, cones, or cylinders.
- Colliders for creating objects like such as box colliders, sphere colliders, or capsule colliders.
- UI for creating NoesisUI, CustomUI, or Text objects.
- Navigation for creating spawn points, doors, snap destinations, and navigation volumes.
- Display for adding a debug console, a world leaderboard, mirror, welcome board, or world shop.
- Interactions for adding a raycast, projectile launcher, or trigger zone.
- Avatars for adding an NPC, avatar pose, or avatar playback.
- Media for setting up a scheduled video player or a sound recorder.
- Effects for setting up Particle FX or TrailFX.
- Environment to add a static light, dynamic light, or environment light to your world.
Use systems tools to create systems-related objects like quests and leaderboards or add a navigation volume to your world.
More information about the systems tool options can be found at Quests, leaderboards, and variable groups.

The Generative AI Creation Tool is a useful asset generation assistant. You can use it to:

If you add objects to your world that you spawned from an asset template, you can update those objects whenever the asset template’s creator revises the original.
