The Spawn Menu is possibly one of the most used menu in Garry's Mod, as it is used for various things. It is used to spawn things such as Props, Ragdolls, Entities, Effects, and access your dupes. They can all be interacted with using the Physgun or the Gravity Gun, usually this only works with props or Entities, but caution yourself, as picking up an Effect with the Gravity Gun causes Lua Errors in the current version of Garry's Mod, Which is Garry's Mod 13. The spawn menu was added in Garry's Mod 5.
Using the Spawn Menu[]
The Spawn Menu can be accessed by holding "Q" by default, and can be toggled by pressing "F1" by default. Simply hover over something you would like to spawn, and click it. Note: The object you choose to spawn will spawn where ever your cross-hair is. To undo an object, Push "Z" by default. To select the different types of objects you can spawn, use the tabs located at the left and right of the Spawn Menu.
