Landscape Editor - Terrain Definition Tools

Terrain Definition Tools
The terrain tool buttons on the toolbar are activated when any terrain layer other than Heights/Water is selected from the Current Layer drop down list in the Parameter Display area.

Terrain polygons are displayed on the landscape as hatched polygons. Using the Select terrain item tool any polygon or line vertex, or a model point may be selected and moved by dragging. Right-click the mouse to display the polygon pop-up menu - this allows you to insert or delete a vertex, delete the selected polygon, or delete all polygons for the current layer. Similarly selecting a model point enables the model pop-up menu - this allows you to edit the model parameters, delete this model or delete all models in the current layer.

Use the Add line tool to manually add a line. Successive clicks on the map canvas defines additional points. To end a line right click.

The Add terrain area tool allows you to manually add a polygon. Successive clicks on the map canvas defines additional points. To close a polygon right click.

The Add model at point tools allows you to add a model at any point on the landscape. Click on the map to place a new model - a dialog box appears that allows you to override the default height and rotation parameters for the model defined for the current layer.
