[Opensim-users] Terraforming in OpenSim - State of Development

[Ethan Grammatikidis]

I find OpenSim's flatten land much less useful than SL's. OpenSim flattens to some kind of average height, which is not predictable, where SL picks the terrain height at the point you click to start flattening. In OpenSim I have to use a prim with a script looping over llFlattenLand or some such. The script is actually a bit more useful than SL's flatten land tool as the land height can be set by number.
