Edges of world

Okay guys,
I'm creating my first level in the torque editor. As I scroll through the world editor, it just seems to keep on scrolling, with no end in sight. I do see red and green lines running across the board, but so far theree are more blue and white squares across even them
My question is : Does Torque support edges? Edges are boundaries that define the end of the game world.
If not, does anyone know of a simple technique to define game edges!

Torque terrains tile infinitely under default settings. However, there is a tile switch in the world editor controls for terrain objects. The easiest way to use it is to enter the world editor (F11) then find a terrain object and scroll down until you see Tile. It should be darkened by default so you will need to click it to turn off terrain tiling. One caveat to this is that terrain painting and sculpting only work when the tiled option is activated. So you will want to turn it back on whenever you need to change your terrain. That aspect can be confusing the first time you try to paint textures on your terrain without effect. :)
I hope that helps.

I probably won't be able to make it. Maybe by next year, I'll have something to show.
