Chris thanks for the feedback, and I have thought about doing the copy and duplication of the terrain manually. One more question, is there any way to perform the "Make Texture Unique" automatically. Once I get the duplicate terrain (on a seperatre layer), I want to dice up the terrain into smaller faces so I can add an opaque coloring to the individual faces. Basically, I need to make all faces in the terrain have their own materials/textures in order to paint or color them individually (while they still retain their own terrain image/graphic).

Thanks a ton,
Jim Higgins
