A great thread. Thanks, ChuckEvans for bringing this whole thing up. I, too, have the same trouble with terrains. One (of my many)problems is when I see the terrain in the editor, I'm never sure how it will be placed in the scene. Guitta, when you say, aim the camera "north", do you mean towards the top of the screen? Or, is the camera position when you open a new scene north? And, then, is the top of the terrain editor screen north?
