but since you can generate a plane directly into prefab why bother... just give it the dimensions you need and apply a texture representing your terrain, then start add anchors... you can save your path for later on edits in path editor panel, and you have also export path to AS3 from menu. in your case you will have to use the <3.4 which should run ok in f9 btw why not working in f10? There is a significant speed improvement.... Fabrice On Oct 14, 2010, at 4:23 PM, jonny wrote: > I did not even know about this :) > > I have downloaded it.
