Greetings:
I am attempting to make an outdoor map in Torque. Is there a way to se the entire map at one time? I would like to see the entire terrain as I am modifying it...
Thx

Just incase you don't know how to do it....
Open the editor (F11).... Press F3 then click "Sky"... in the bottom window scroll-down and select "Visibility" then just change the setting and click apply.

You can increase the viewable distance, but it may lag your machine.... Just incase you don't know how to do it....

In the TGE demo's I've managed to get it insanely high without any noticable performance hit (AMD 64 3200 - 128MB Radeon 9800 Pro - 1GB RAM). Although, if you set it too high it's sure to crash. Probably 'cause the terrain geometry repeats and if you set the view distance too high it might get caught in a nasty infinate loop or try to cull stuff it shouldn't be culling or something. -- It could just be my rig too, it's been a little flakey of late - need to rebuild it.
