   * Highest elevation has been confirmed 8848 meters. Ice from arma discord said he made mount everest terrain which worked fine. Helicopter (little bird) could not climb to that altitude but cars worked there just fine.   * Highest elevation has been confirmed 8848 meters.

 +  * terrain builder can only do 16 x 16 grid heightmap, if you import PEW with 8 x 8 grid it will show blank drop-down for the heightmap size selection. This is for those arma2 ported terrains where visitor 3 could do 8 x 8 grid heightmaps.

 Do not delete objects when buldozer is running, if you trying to do so terrain builder will warn you. Listen to this warning, do not keep buldozer running while proceeding to delete the objects, you most likely get a terrain builder and/or buldozer crash. Do not delete objects when buldozer is running, if you trying to do so terrain builder will warn you.

 +====== Locked Objects Layer and Heightmap Import ======

 +If you think by locking objects layer you can import new heightmap and keep object alignment, you are wrong. Relative elevation objects will get aligned relative to the new heightmap upon import no matter if you lock the layer.
