| + | * 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. | ||

| + | ====== 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. | ||
