 As you can see in this picture the terrain is raised/lowered a bit even outside the area covered by the grid, that is to make things smoother. Sometimes that's not enough however and you need to smooth things out, that leads us to the next tool:

-The Flatten elevation tool is used when the terrain needs to be smoothed/flattened, and literally flattens the terrain. To use it, just click using the left mouse button on terrain you want to flatten/smooth. It is affected by options on the Terrain tab and more info on those can be found in that section of this document. The Flatten elevation tool is extra useful to flatten terrain under large entities (like structures) so that they don't appear like they are floating.

 ''The contents of the Map Tab''
 
-'''' The buttons on the Map Tab are few, but they're powerful. Especially the first two, as they erase everything you've got on the map and replace that with, in the first case an empty map (no difference in height, only the same green texture all over it, no objects),and in the second case a complete random map (different heights, different textures, objects).

 The Generate empty map button is simply a way to quickly get an empty map. When you've played around a bit you might realize that you need to start from the beginning, and instead of having to undo everything you've done up to that point it's just to click that button and you get a new fresh empty map to fill with your ideas.
