EdenScape by Linda B Helendale
Terraforming with no limits
This is free DEMO of EdenScape Creator, with the following limitations:
* Terrain stencils are limited to three preloaded notecards, shown in the additional images,
-- Ftop 32x32 (oh gosh, they advertise everything with female body! ;) )
-- Fbum 32x32
-- excelExample (in the User Manual there's a walkthrough demo how to create this terrain patch with MS Excel; to blend it in, set the base level 3.9 m below the surrounding terrain)
* Backup and terrain copy/paste functions are not available
For a simple experiment, unpack the demo box and
1) Rez the tool on land where you can terraform and you have 32x32 free area to the East and North (for example Builders Brewery terraforming practice area or NCI Dream Seeker terraform sandbox).
2) Click 'Set Mode' > 'Notecard' > 'Ftop 32x32' and wait until the notecard is loaded and the menu appears again
3) Set the stencil position: click 'Show corners' and move any corner by right click/edit to position the stencil
4) Click 'Set level' > 'Ground SW' to set the base level to the ground level at the stencil SW corner.
5) Click 'Apply stencil'
If you attach included 'EdenScape stop button' as a HUD, you can easily stop the tool at any point.

NOTE Feb 2012. Some changes in the server code may cause the movement in the version 1.0 fail (if the parcel that owns the sim SW corner has object entry off). If you have the old version and it has issues, get the version 1.1
