# Tab: Spawn New ## Selecting Object Type * There is a [wide range of things](https://wiki.redmodding.org/cyberpunk-2077-modding/modding-guides/world-editing/object-spawner/supported-nodes) you can spawn, so they are organized into categories * Each category has has multiple variants, with each variant corresponding to a type of node

Check out all the different types and variants

* By hovering over the dropdown for the Object variant you can also bring up a panel displaying some helpful information for the selected variant

Information panel shown when hovering type selector

## Spawn Options * Target group * This selector lets you choose a group which to put new objects into * You can also hit `CTRL-N` on the spawned tab to set it to the selected group * Under the options header you can find: * Strip Paths: If this is enabled, resource paths will be shortened: `base\object.mesh` becomes `object` * Asset preview: Lets you toggle asset preview for the supported object types * Spawn position: See next section

## Spawn position options * There are multiple ways of controlling the position in which new objects spawn: * Use the "Spawn position" selector to determine the position used when simply clicking a list entry to spawn * Drag and drop a list entry into the scene to spawn it under the cursor * In 3-D editor mode, use `CTRL-R` to repeat the last spawn under the cursor * Additionally, you can use the `Shift-A` spawn menu while editor mode is active

## Asset Preview * Asset preview is available for: * With background: Meshes, entities, decals * In-Place: Effects, particles, AISpots and sounds * It gets activated simply by hovering a list entry

## Searching * At the very top you can find the main search, which supports pattern matching: * E.g. `wall.*large` will match anything that has the words "wall" followed by some characters, followed by "large" in it ## Favorites * You can make something a favorite either from the "Spawned" tab, or from the "Spawn New" tab * In either cases, simply right-click the element you wish to make a favorite * [Further information on favorites, prefabs and tags](https://wiki.redmodding.org/cyberpunk-2077-modding/modding-guides/world-editing/object-spawner/ui-tabs-explained/tab-favorites-and-prefabs) ## RHT Integration * If you see an asset used in the gameworld, you can use [RHT](https://wiki.redmodding.org/cyberpunk-2077-modding/for-mod-creators-theory/modding-tools/redhottools/rht-the-world-inspector) to send it directly to WB's search * This is supported for: Entity, Entity Record, Device, Mesh, Decal, Particle, Effect, Static Sound, AI Spot and Reflection Probe

You can send things you find with RHT directly to WB's search

## AMM Props * You can also import your list of AMM props * AMM props will spawned as [entity nodes](https://wiki.redmodding.org/cyberpunk-2077-modding/modding-guides/world-editing/supported-nodes#entity), as they are just `.ent` files with an alias name * Do this by selecting `Entity -> Template (AMM)` then pressing the "Generate AMM Props" button

Select the correct type and variant, then you can import your AMM props list
