Bulldozer controls

[kerkkoh 35]

Hey terrain builders,

I have my terrain done and it is working in game with forests and other stuff, but I have seen many terrain editors use bulldozer to place objects to the map. I know how to modify map in bulldozer, but I need the controls for adding objects like houses and so on. I think you guys could give me a hand with this :)

Thanks!

F2 - freelook camera mode.

Hold RMB and use WASD to fly around.

Hold Shift to speed up.

QZ - up and down.

Press F2 again to switch back to edit mode.

How do you adjust the altitude strength? need to change the altitude of objects but its too senstitive

[lappihuan 178]

you can zoom in to slow it a little bit down...
its not optimal but will do the job ;)
