Additionally, the tile selection menu separates the tiles by type: ''Basic'', ''Obstacles'', ''Doors'', ''[[Item]]s'', ''Blocks'', ''[[Monster|Creatures]]'', ''Miscellaneous'', ''[[Logic gate|Logic]]'', and ''Non-standard'', as well as an ''All elements'' option. A future version is planned to give users the ability to create their own tile palettes. | Additionally, the tile selection menu separates the tiles by type: ''Basic'', ''Obstacles'', ''Doors'', ''[[Item]]s'', ''Blocks'', ''[[Monster|Creatures]]'', ''Miscellaneous'', ''[[Logic gate|Logic]]'', and ''Non-standard'', as well as an ''All elements'' option.

Placing a tile on the ground or | Placing a tile on the ground or [[terrain]] layer normally erases everything above it, similar to the CC2 official editor. Holding the Ctrl key while clicking will suppress this behavior. To place an [[Invalid tile|"invalid" tile]] on the bottom or "buried" layer, the Shift key should be used instead. The ''Inspect Element'' tool, exclusive to CCCreator, also makes it possible to examine all elements on a single tile, modify each one's properties, and remove some of them without removing the others. | ||
CCCreator can also display metagraphics, making it easy to see linked [[teleport]]s and [[button]]s, as well as logic circuits, a [[time bomb]]'s explosion area, the in-game play area (in both 9x9 and 10x10 sizes), a [[gray button]]'s control area, and monster paths. These can be disabled individually if the user doesn't want them. | CCCreator can also display metagraphics, making it easy to see linked [[teleport]]s and [[button]]s, as well as logic circuits, a [[time bomb]]'s explosion area, the in-game play area (in both 9x9 and 10x10 sizes), a [[gray button]]'s control area, and monster paths.

CCCreator has menu options to make it significantly easier to add multiple hints in CC2 levels, and perform basic CCX or C2G scripting. | ||
CCCreator's undo and redo buttons are more global than those found in CCEdit or CCDesign; if the user makes a change in level 1, then selects level 2 and hits Ctrl+Z, the change the user made in level 1 can still be undone even while viewing another level. Additionally, in CCEdit, deletion of a level is a process that cannot be undone (unless the set is not saved before it is closed); but in CCCreator, this is not the case. | CCCreator's undo and redo buttons are more global than those found in CCEdit or CCDesign; if the user makes a change in level 1, then selects level 2 and hits Ctrl+Z, the change the user made in level 1 can still be undone even while viewing another level.
