Hi Sama,

Welcome to the forum, and thanks for the questions.

Yes, the recommended way to close the Sapphire window is to use the normal Windows 'X' close button.

You should un-check the 'heightfield' option in the calculation queue wizard. With 'heightfield' checked, L3DT will wipe the existing heightfield (and your edits) and re-calculate the entire heigtfield from the design map. Similarly, if you edit the texture map, then check the 'texture map' option in the calculation queue wizard, L3DT will wipe the texture and generate it anew.

Best regards,
Aaron.
