How to Use the Edit Terrain Tool
To access the Edit Terrain tool, just click on your land and select Edit Terrain from the pie menu that appears. This opens a menu with many different tools to assist you in editing your land.
Terraform
Use the Select Land option to select the land you would like to edit and then select the Flatten Land, Raise Land, Lower Land, Smooth Land or Roughen Land options to pick the way in which you'd like to alter the land. Click the Apply to Selection button to terraform the whole selected plot. The Revert Land option returns it to the original shape if things get out of hand.
You can also use the dropdown menu labeled Small, Medium, or Large
to choose the size of your "brush" and "paint" the effect on by left
clicking on portions of your land. You can also hold down the left
button to terraform faster.
Show owners
Selecting this checkbox offers a color code to the land:
- Reddish brown is land owned by others
- Green is your land
- Aqua is land owned by a group that you are a member of
- Grey is the rare public land
- Purple is land in the auction system
Subdivide
You may want to break a
parcel of land into multiple pieces, for example if you want to sell
part of it. Select the section of your land by pressing down the left
mouse button and dragging to create a rectangle of the land you want to
subdivide and then click the Subdivide button.
Join
If you want to connect two
or more pieces of land that you own, drag a rectangle that overlaps all
the land parcels you want to join and click the Join button to combine them into one. You can now use the About Land tool to set the features for this new piece of land.
Abandon Land
When abandoning land keep in
mind you do not get Linden dollars back -- so you should really only do
this if you're feeling generous or you don't have time to sell the land.
