====== Overlay Manager ======

The overlay manager - which is accessed via the '//Resources->Overlays->Overlay manager...//' menu option - is where you can load/modify/remove [[l3dt:algorithms:hf:fileoverlay|file overlays]]. 

If you're not familiar with file overlays; they are small heightfield/image files that you can place on the main heightfield using the 'FileOverlay' special type in the [[l3dt:userguide:tools:dm_brush|design map brush]] tool. An example of using file overlays is provided in [[bundywiki>tutorials:l3dt:fileoverlay|this tutorial]].

The overlay manager looks like this:

{{ :l3dt:userguide:dialogs:overlaymanager.png |:l3dt:userguide:dialogs:overlaymanager.png}}

The controls should be fairly obvious, so I shan't explain them all. Indeed, the only control worth mentioning is the //Edit// button, which opens a settings dialog such as that below:

{{ :l3dt:userguide:utilities:overlaysettings.png |:l3dt:userguide:utilities:overlaysettings.png}}

In this dialog you set the file name, vertical scaling of the overlay (optional), and size of the heightfield (also optional). Please refer to the [[:l3dt:algorithms:hf:fileoverlay#overlay_settings|algorithms page]] for more information on these settings.
