Terrain Editing Resizing Help

Hi there,
This might be a stupid question, but for the life of me, I cannot work out how to resize my terrain. I have tried the Scale buttons, but they dont do anything for me, I have tried the Transform Editor and the same problem. It is only on blank terrain that this happens with though as if I add my waterblocks and other planes, I am able to resize them perfectly.
Anyway, might be a stupid question with an extremely simple answer, but I had to ask anyway.

If you select the TerrainBlock you'll see the 'squareSize' field which controls the size of one terrain sample. You can set this to any number to scale up or down your terrain.

TerrainBlock is special that it just doesn't size with the normal scaling operations.If you select the TerrainBlock you'll see the 'squareSize' field which controls the size of one terrain sample. You can set this to any number to scale up or down your terrain.

Ok, sorry guys, I worked out a way around this. While you can simply increase the square size to make it larger, you do lose the finer detail, however, you can also create a heightmap of the size map you want and edit it afterwards within torque, this seems to work fine for me now.#edit: Thanks Tom :)
