Filling in basins doesn't work.


Then I decided to go nuts and just try raising/lowering terrain, and putting in a value of "100" resulted in filling in 8000 ft-deep oceans with one sweep, and knocking 1500-ft tall hills into 1000-ft deep ocean with one sweep.

How the heck to people actually edit landforms in FTPro?
I discovered the solution to this a few days ago in the "FT Tutorial" at http://www.ridgenet.net/~jslayton/CGTutorial/index.html

It shows you how to change to a much higher editing resolution.
