    Dear Developers.
    In the world editor, In the terrain menu.
    There is one menu item.... smooth heightmap. This works great!

    I think adding these extra options would be very useful....
    • Add noise to heightmap via texture mask (....to add rocky areas in parts of the map very quickly)
    • Smooth heightmap via texture mask (....to smooth only roads/beaches very quickly)
    • Convert sketchup DAE to heightmap (...to convert a basic terrain from sketchup to a heightmap)

    Currently I am using ARTCAM software (at my work) to do all of the above.
    There is a sketchup plugin that converts a model to a heightmap but it takes about an hour to run.
    Artcam somehow does the same thing in about 5 seconds.

    Thankyou for such an awesome game/sim!
