I use the adjust knob. What I mean is that I would like it to go smaller than it does. I know there probably is no way to change it.

Hi Don. I agree with you. About all I try to do is to set the SENSITIVITY dial around to the 0700am position. At least it makes the circle in question move up or down very slowly. I can have some control. But it appears that the circle covers 4 squares, and I guess we cant do anything about it. Good luck.:wave:
Sorry to disagree Sardon, but setting the sensitivity to the 7am position will always raise or lower too much at a time - it is making a very blunt instrument indeed. I do exactly the opposite. Like you I choose the minimum circle size and then maximum sensitivity (ie the 5 o'clock position). Then it is a matter of practice, manipulating the mouse very, very delicately. When I started (only a few months ago) I thought I would never master it. But the secret is patience and practice. Eventually you ignore the actual circle because you can "feel" where the lifting point is. Now I find that, within the obvious constraints of the ten-metre mesh, I can create whatever configuration I want.
The only time I choose anything other than minimum radius is when I want to raise a large area to the same level or to apply a texture over a wide area.
Hope this is helpful.

Hello Manjoe. Sorry about the mistaken identity.
I agree that minimum sensitivity reduces the speed at which you can raise (or lower) terrain, but it makes it more or less impossible to move small areas without doing the same to too many adjacent squares. That is what I meant by describing it as a blunt instrument.
With practice, you can make very fine adjustments. I find that I can now treat the grid as a physical wire mesh. You know you cannot move a corner without having some effect on adjacent squares, because the wire between the corners does not bend.
If you find that you just cannot control the mouse at maximum sensitivity, you might find it possible to adjust your mouse's settings. It depends what operating system you are using. In some cases you can alter settings in the mouse driver itself. If you suffer from Windows, select Mouse in the Control Panel and adjust the pointer speed. (You will find it in "Pointer Options".)
I hope you manage to conquer this because, if you do, you will suddenly find that you can create the terrain you want rather than that which the program seems to want you to have.
Good luck.
Peter
