Greetings to you Norm and welcome here :-). It is not easy to answer your questions, because all depends of the size of the terrain you create and the distance from the cam you place it. I think we are all working in trying, as Vue has no scaling tool apart the grid. We control in rendering a preview to get a first impression and then scale our imported objects or figures. You also can scale any material as you like, directly in the small material preview window or inside the material editor, depending if you use a procedural or a bitmap. Whenever you have a specific scaling problem, just post a small sample image here and ask for help. We will then be able to help out better. Also tell us your Vue version and if you use a PC or a MAC. :-)Guitta tutorials for beginners
