I understand your question in a different way, that may be because my english is not so good. But I will try to answer to what I understoud. To create a terrain object from a bitmap, the bitmap is best to create outside Vue in a paint program. I use 512x512 px and a grey scale. Take care, because all what is white in your drawing will be high on the terrain. The smallest white spot will give jagged parts. Paint with an airbrush and choose only very soft greys. If you use colored bitmaps in the terrain editor, beware the pics every where, because you have no control over it. If you want to create other objects as terrains in using bitmaps in the terrain editor, have a look at the "samples" in Vue 4. You can see that many objects were made from terrains, I even created a fisher net from it. Mostly you have to flatten the terrain in Vue, when it should become an object and not a terrain. In Vue's terrain editor, you can as well add a bitmap to an existing terrain or reset the existing terrain and use the bitmap alone. Guitta
