=== Height (Mode) ===
This button is used to create different height levels on the map.

This button will display a number of textures to use for different terrain example grass, asphalt, sand, snow, forest, oil and so on.

This button will display a number of 3D object to populate the track example concrete walls, stands, buildings, trees, people, lights, poles, fences, cones, pits, grid points, checkpoints and so on

* Change with F6 to move, F7 to rotate and F8 to scale clicked/selected objects.

 
 
=== Reload Objects ===
Use this button to replace all objects like the objects are loaded ingame. The objects will be placed in a special order with different marks.
That means that every object in general will be placed from the a top-position to the surface by detection of each surface pixel under the object. That allows the user to combine multiple objects very close together.

As an existing future request it´s planned to place "special" objects stacked. This is planned and will be integrated in a later update.

=== Smooth Heights (Mode) ===
An option to make the heights (elevated land) more smooth. Use one of the existing brushes at the bottom line to smooth the heights in a different way.
