Height Editing

Height Editing

The Height Editing

tool is used to edit the height of your map. When creating your maps, sometimes 'seams' between tiles of different heights occur.

You can use the heigt editing tool to smooth out the seams and make the heights match the graphics. You can also adjust the sea level , the interval that each click of the mouse will either increase or decrese the height values, set voids and choose the way the height tool affects the height values.

Dragging the sea level slider control will adjust the sea level in real-time.
Adjusting the area editing works the same way
To adjust the void settings check the box next to the word 'Void'
