Brush sizes?

    I've poked around a bit, and can't seem to find any info on this. Would it be possible to have a way to change the size of the brush in PT? The reason I ask is that I'd like the ability to place a single pixel in zoom mode. Of course, if this already exists, give me a smack and tell me how to do it - the introductory text wasn't telling me how, though. :D

    Use your scroll wheel on your mouse to adjust the size

    Heh. Yeah, I just realized that I failed when I picked up the update. Here's the next question - my mouse doesn't have a scroll wheel - I use a trackball. Is there a key combination to change the brush size?

    I believe the + and - on your numpad will do that, not sure though

    'fraid not. I keymashed trying to figure out any "unpublished" key combinations (and just in case I failed again, I just now checked them :) NumLock off and on, the numeric keypad doesn't do anything.

    Currently there is no way of changing the brush size without the scroll-wheel, though a keyboard shortcut is something I've planned for a future release.

    That will be great. A keyboard shortcut (no joke), will be my most anticipated release version so far for me. No scrolling drives me mad!

    Why not create a new menu for them?
    That why, it would be able to create square element brushes, 1px walls etc

    1px walls are very glitchy according to Simon. Currently, walls are quite small anyways. Also, I like the idea of a menu for brush shapes/sizes. I was thinking the same thing.

    Because of the way the physics is processed, to stop an element glitching through the wall the wall has to be 4 pixels thick. 3 Pixels is unlikely but still can glitch at high speeds, 2 Pixels glitches quite often, and 1px you can simply drop an element onto it and it will fall though.
