Terrain Noob Question :-)

Well, I made a heightmap with "Total Terrain" from the toolbox here, and nomatter how high you make a part of it, it still ends up really short in Blitz3D. So you must have to scale it right? So I Tried ScaleMesh and that didn't do anything, and ScaleEntity strangely made the terrain dissappear... What's wrong? Is there a different command I'm supposed to use for scaleing terrains?

You probably scaled it too much so it was above your camera, try moving the camera up a bit :)

Nope, not up there anywhere. :-/

Write a test program to scale it a little at a time (controlled by you) so that you can see whats going on.

I just did that and what happens is even if I scale it the tiniest bit, it dissapears

Oh, I figured it out, I was doing "ScaleEntity 0,2,0" when I should have done "ScaleEntity 1,2,1"
