I have a mac and can edit just fine, except when i try to edit the terrain it crashes, but that's ok because that causes difficulties with other people playing on my map anyway. Could you be more specific on your problem?

can u use the alt+ctrl to rotate objects or do you have to use the rotation? cause i have to do everything using numbers well windows users can do it real simple.
Thx,

Oh wow i didn't know they could manually rotate it, i just always entered the fields. Its really easy once you figure it out.

With the four numbers you enter, the first three are just explaining whether you are changing the x, y or z axis, so the one you are editing you make a "1", and the other two "0's". And then the fourth number is what degree you want to rotate it, and this can be negative to rotate the opposite way. so if you were rotating the x axis 90 degrees it would be "1 0 0 90".
If you already knew this oh well maybe someone else will learn, this took me a while to figure out.

what happened to the command key and the apple key?
