Context Choose the context for the settings in the list window. The Brush
Presets feature recognizes four contexts and shows the current context as
active:
■ VertexPaint (modifier) on page 1876
■ PaintDeform (Paint Deformation; Edit/Editable Poly) on page 2125

Icon Size Min/Max Sets the range of the brush size depicted on the toolbar.
Changing the actual brush size between the minimum and maximum settings
changes the image of the brush as depicted on its button to show its size
relative to the other presets. Changes to the brush size outside these limits are
not reflected on the toolbar buttons.

you click Add, you're prompted to enter a name for the new preset. Edit the
name and then click OK to create the new preset. The new preset appears
highlighted at the end of the list and the toolbar.
NOTE If 50 presets already exist, you won't be able to add any new ones.
Duplicate Adds a copy of the highlighted preset to the list. When you click
Duplicate, you're prompted to enter a name for the new preset. Edit the name
and then click OK to create the new, duplicate preset. The preset appears
highlighted at the end of the list and the toolbar.
NOTE If 50 presets already exist, you won't be able to add any new ones via
duplication.
Delete Deletes the brush preset highlighted in the list from both the list and
the toolbar.
