, Move Grip

Run Update Map command from Map menu to see updated appearance of scene after editing of material curves. - Add grass to material curves of certain type. For editing of grass run right click menu command Edit Grass on any curve with grass. Grass is always regenerated on all curves. It is possible to generate grass also on Terrain curves, what is good to use, because grass on terrain curves can be populated through larger areas with various material curves (various textures) without influence of material curves priorities.
- Use Modeling commands to adjust the terrain shape. Even good terrain with good resolution requires minimal relaxing of bunker edges.
- Drag objects and trees from Library Manager
. Use Generate Group
