HM to DM

[Nagual]

It's certainly possible that I may be missing something, however while playing around making various maps I've often thought it would be nice to go back into the DM to add various erosion or other settings to land that I've altered or created. How to do this? There is an option in Operations -> Design Map -> Generate from HM, but this is greyed out.

Being able to 'work backwards' as it were, while not exactly a solid workflow, would be of great benefit. As I often find that even carefully planned landscapes will get altered during the tweaking process.

Hi Nagual,

Sorry, this seems to be a bug. If you use the 'File->Close->Close map layer' option to close the design map, you will then be able to generate the design map from the heightfield. For the next release I will make sure the option is not greyed out in this circumstance, but instead asks you to confirm overwriting of the design map.

Best regards,
Aaron.

Thanks once again Aaron, this is good to know.

Hi Nagual,

I've fixed this problem in the latest developmental build of L3DT Pro (v12.09 build 1), which is on the downloads page now.

Thank you for the bug report.

Best regards,
Aaron.
