Good to know

  • A path is drawn with the same brush: stone or wood, a square brush gives straight edges. There is no separate path tool.
  • There is no water in Surfaces: it is added in Terrain.
  • A stroke lies on top of the terrain and follows its shape.
  • Ctrl+Z undoes exactly one stroke, both in the plan and in the 3D view.
