* '''Show all combos''': when enabled, all created combos will be displayed.
* '''Combinations''': this ComboBox is used to pick the currently edited combo.
* '''Add'''/'''Rem''' buttons: used to add a new combo / remove the currently edited combo.
* '''Add'''/'''Remove'''/'''Toggle''' checkboxes: this selects the way the current combo will be edited. Moving the mouse on the viewport will highlight geometry objects.
''' '''Add''': will add geometry objects to the combo when clicking on them.
''' '''Remove''': will remove geometry objects from the combo when clicking on them (and they were part of the combo).
''' '''Toggle''': will switch clicked objects between added or not added.
* '''Color''': this determines the tint that the objects in a combo will display.
* '''Geometry objects list''': will display a list of all the object names added to the currently edited combo.

-The feature was tested using the '''02_entrance_hall.map''' and '''22_torture_chancel.map''' maps. Tests were done on a moderately powerful laptop which runs the base game in about 24 FPS. Frame time statistics were measured using the MapViewer with and without the big combos.

 '''There was no improvement in performance.''' The only noticeable change was the number of objects loaded into the viewer (which decreased, most likely by the number of objects in the combo).

 Except for the sewer, all cases are the only combos in the entire map. They were used to combine big rooms.
