Starting a New Terrain

By default, when you open the Terrain Editor, the terrain you selected in the Working window appears in the Terrain Canvas. If you want to begin with a new, flat Terrain Canvas, use the New button.

To create a new Terrain Canvas:

1. Click the Elevation tab.
2. Either click the New button, or press Cmd/Ctrl+N.
   
   
   A flat black image appears in the Terrain Canvas.
   
   

To gradually flatten your terrain, click and drag to the right over the New button.

The existing Terrain Canvas gradually fades to black. Many of the effects in the Elevation tab require grayscale values. If you apply these effects to a black map they may have no effect.

To reset your terrain, hold down Ctrl and click the New button. The Terrain Canvas is reset to the terrain that appeared when you first opened the editor.
