Hi guys I've trying to make a keyboard at the moment ( from a terrain ), and I need to make those little dips or indentations on the keys. The Greyscale is made in mspaint and it's options are slightly limited. All advice very welcome. Many Thanks Glengarry

Um...I'll take a crack at it even though I am a Bryce Newbie. I think you want to make another very similar terrain but instead of the height areas (the keys) being boxy, they should be slightly rounded, spherical, then put that terrain on top of this one upside down and make it a negative boolean and the original a positive then group them. That would be the quickish way I think. -Darth_Logice

Try using negative boolean spheres. Later, Mark

Don't foget to make the terrains solid in the TE BEFORE booleaning them ... :) I keep forgetting to do that and then see the inside of somethings that I REALLY wished I didn't see.... :^) Works better that way.
