      ...and feel like a kid in a candy store with a pocketful of money!

      I've also just learned how to convert that terrain into editable contours.

      I now need to learn how to random instance with the renderer. I foresee lots of trees. πŸ˜†

              I just figured how to do this too! I tried draping a road onto a terrain and tried exporting to google earth.... anyone know why the road didn't show up? I also had drawn a 3d bridge which seemed to make it through the transfer but no roads.
