The Add / Context menu SEUT adds to Blender can be opened by either right clicking into the 3D Viewport or by clicking on the Add button within the viewport. It allows the user to easily spawn empties of various types and tie them to functionality within the game.

Add Highlight Empty

Highlight empties define which part of a model is highlighted when the player points the crosshairs at the area the highlight empty encompasses. Refer to the  Highlight Empty Tutorial to learn how to use these empties.

In order to add a highlight empty, you must have the object it should highlight selected. If you have no object selected, the Add Highlight Empty-option will be greyed out.

Highlight Type

The highlight type of the empty decides its functionality ingame. Valid types are:

Index

Index defines the numeric index of a highlight empty and its object counterpart.

Ensure that there are no two empties of the same type with the same index. This will cause issues.

Add Dummy

Dummies are empties which mark the position or presence of a certain functionality within a Space Engineers model.

Dummy Type

The dummy type of the empty determines what its effect will be ingame. Valid types aIndex

Index defines the numeric index of a dummy and its object counterpart. Not supported by all dummies.

Add Preset Subpart

Subpart Type

The subpart type of the empty is determined by the TypeId of the block. Valid types are:

Index

Index defines the numeric index of a subpart. Not supported by all dummies.

Add Custom Subpart

Simply enter the name you would like your subpart empty to have into this field.
