The Topology Menu provides
the tools for creating various
types of terrain. In this section
you will learn how to make
hills, valleys, mountains, lakes
and rivers.

Click on the Topology Tab (or
press the F1 key) to open the
Topology Menu. Here you
will see a number of different
tools that can be used to shape
the terrain. Hold your mouse
cursor over each one to see a
short description as well as the
appropriate Hotkey to press. To
see the whole menu as in the
iamge below, click on the
“Advanced” button to expand
the menu.
[[File:Topology.jpeg|400px|left]]
{{clear}}
* The three top buttons allow you to activate the basic tools to raise and lower terrain.
* The knobs below that alter the area the tool will affect and the sensitivity of the tool.

For an overview of how the topology tools work [[Help:Topology_editing|click here]]

= Main menu =
== [[File:Height up.jpg]] Height up (U) ==
Use this tool to create mounds, hills and mountains.
Click on the Height Up tool icon to change to Height Up mode. Move your cursor from the tool tab onto the 3D world and you will see a "circle of influence". Left click and drag your mouse around the 3D world to raise the terrain.
Use Radius and Sensitivity to adjust the size and sensitivity of this tool. To adjust your view of the world as you mould the terrain, right-click on the terrain to move your camera focal point and use your cursor arrow keys to move the camera. Use Undo if you don't like the results you see.
{{clear}}
== [[File:Height down.jpg]] Height down (D) ==
Use this tool to modify the terrain height. Make hollows, valleys, rivers, lakes and oceans.

Click on the Height Down tool icon to change to Height Down mode. Move your cursor from the tool tab onto the 3D world and you will see a "circle of influence". Left click and drag your mouse around the 3D world to lower the terrain.

Use Radius and Sensitivity to adjust the size and sensitivity of this tool. To adjust your view of the world as you mould the terrain, right-click on the terrain to move your camera focal point and use your cursor arrow keys to move the camera. Use Undo if you don't like the results you see.
{{clear}}
== [[File:Height adjust.jpg]] Adjust height (A) ==
Adjust Height allows finer control of the up and down movement. Click LMB and hold then push your mouse away from you to raise the terrain. Click LMB and hold then pull the mouse towards you to lower the terrain.
Generally used for finer adjustments.
Use in conjunction with the Radius and Sensitivity tools.
{{clear}}
== [[File:Radius.jpg]] Radius ==
Click LMB on the Radius Tool and move to either side to change the circle of influence. Move the dial right to enlarge the circle (HOTKEY “+”), left to minimize (HOTKEY “-”).
The size of the circle determines the outer limit of influence of the tool.
Whichever tool you have selected (highlighted) will be applied within the area defined by the circle.
{{clear}}
== [[File:Sensitivity.jpg]] Sensitivity ==
Click LMB on the Sensitivity Tool and move to either side to change the amount of height changed each time the circle of influence is affected. Move the dial right to make more sensitive (HOTKEY “+”), left to reduce the sensitivity (HOTKEY “-”).
{{clear}}
== [[File:Height get.jpg]] Get height (G) ==
Select Get Height (G), then Click RMB on the side of a hill. Notice that the number in the Height Value field changes. You have captured the height of the terrain at the point your compass appears.
Use in conjunction with the plateau tool to flatten an area to a certain height.
{{clear}}
== [[File:Height use.jpg]] Use height (H) ==
Click on Use Height (H) then Click LMB to apply the selected Height Value to the terrain. The Use Height tool creates a plateau at your selected height and the radius of your cursor circle determines the amount of land that is leveled at one time.
Click and hold LMB then move your mouse around the terrain to level out a broader section.
This tool is not affected by the sensitivity dial.
{{clear}}
== [[File:Plateu.jpg]] Plateu (P) ==

{{clear}}
== [[File:Water add.jpg]] Add water (W) ==
Click LMB on Add Water (W)
and paint the water texture along the
desired area by moving
your mouse around. The radius of the
cursor circle determines the texture panel size.
{{clear}}
== [[File:Water remove.jpg]] Remove water (Q) ==
Click LMB on Remove Water (Q) and you then delete
the water texture one panel at a time by Clicking
LMB on each water panel.
{{clear}}
== [[File:Water adjust height.jpg]] Adjust Water Height (E) ==

{{clear}}
== [[File:Ground add.jpg]] Add ground (X) ==
Select the Add Ground
(X) tool. Click LMB in the void just off the edge of
the baseboard to add another baseboard in that direction.

By default ground sections use a 10m grid, where each adjustable terrain 'point' is 10m apart. If your route requires finer detail you can create sections which use a 5m grid. These ground sections will use four times more memory than the standard 10m grid and should be reserved for when fine detail is absolutely required.

To create a section with a 5m grid right-click on the Section Extend icon and choose "Classic - 5m Grid" from the list. You can also update existing sections by clicking on them whilst the 5m grid option is selected.
{{clear}}

== [[File:Ground remove.jpg]] Delete ground ==
Click LMB on the Delete Section button, then Click
LMB on any baseboard section to delete it. This action cannot be undone, and should be used with care. Deleting a section may also delete splines that cross section boundaries. If the zoom is too far from the surface, this option might me disabled.

{{clear}}

== [[File:Direction.jpg]] Direction ==
Move the direction dial in the directon you wish the grayscale map to be put down on the baseboard.
{{clear}}
== [[File:Threshold.jpg]] Threshold ==
Move the Threshold dial to increase the size of the height change set on the displacement map.
{{clear}}
== [[File:Area select.jpg]] Select area (B) ==
Click on Select Area (B). Click LMB and drag the
mouse to make a large square as shown below.
The size of the square (or rectangle)
determines the area that will be affected by the next
operation.
{{clear}}
== [[File:Area fill.jpg]] Fill area (F) ==
Scroll through the Displacement Maps, then click on Fill Area (F). The
terrain is instantly transformed into the shape determined by
the grayscale images of the displacement map chosen.
{{clear}}
== [[File:Area cancel.jpg]] Cancel selection (D) ==
Click LMB on Cancel Selection (D) to cancel the
selection.
{{clear}}
== [[File:Area grab.jpg]] Get displacement (B) ==
Click on Select Area (B). Click LMB on the baseboard
and drag the mouse to make a large square that
covers an existing area of modified terrain. Now
click the “Get Displacement” button and you’ll notice that a
displacement map has been derived from the shape of the
terrain. This can now be used to apply the same terrain effect
in another area.
