3.5 allows for offsetting terrrain altitude
This does not affect the fact that many builds will zbuff with the terrain.
Also, many builds are underground and would be lost unless the owner went
through and put a hole it the terrain.
I would suggest that terrain is just to much trouble in a prebuilt world.

huh?
: ) "Thanks for choosing Active Worlds!"
I really don't quite understand... are you commending AWI for having an SDK
that allows people like Alex to write Xelagot or are you upset because
Xelagot has bugs? Or is it just AW that is buggy?
And we chose are betas from a group of experienced users who run a variety
of specs and connections. They are very good at sending in the reports and
assisting to eliminate bugs.
Do you want to be on beta?

oh
BTW
