PolyFlags
In the properties of a Brush, under Brush → PolyFlags you can give all surfaces of the brush default properties that override the Surface Flags (UT) in the Surface Properties window.
In PolyFlags you have to enter a number, what follows is a list of the meaning of all the numbers.
To give a brush two or more properties at the same time, you need to make the sum of the numbers of both properties. For example if you want a Translucent + TwoSided brush, you have to use the number 4 + 256 = 260.
After you entered the number you need to rebuild to see the change.
Here's the list. Flags with no effect are left out:

0 | Default | Use settings from Surface Properties for each individual surface of the brush. |
1 | Invisible | All surfaces of the brush are invisible |
2 | Masked | Use for palettized textures to make the first color in the palette (in Paint Shop Pro at least) invisible, see Color Blending |
