Create-A-World Tips, Tricks, and Annoyances
MistyBlue:
I'm having an issue with CAW since I updated it. I haven't really used it for a while and when I tried to start editing terrain, nothing happens. It says the terrain editor is active, select a brush. I select a brush, but I can't do anything with it. Any advice or maybe I just need a re-education on using this. I can do everything except edit terrain.

I haven't noticed anything different with the terrain tools. Make sure you have a mode (flatten, hill, valley…) selected. It should appear highlighted in blue when you do; then it turns grey as you start to use it.
I did notice that sometimes when I select to move an object, I am unable to move it. Going back and forth from move to rotate sometimes fixes it, but sometimes I need to find the object in the ‘World Layers' game objects list and choose "Find in reader panel" before I can get the object to move.
All-in-all there weren't many changes with the update. You can now see Riverview objects in CAW.

I ran into the same issue just this morning. I found out that it was because I was either zooming out too far or moving the camera too far to the side. Basically, I found that the camera needs to be located over the map or the terrain tool stops working. I hope that makes sense.
I'm completely new to using the program so I haven't quite gotten the hang of using the camera yet.
That solved the problem for me. I hope it helps you.
Claeric:
CAW works in optimized "cells" meaning that only a small square of the map will visually change at a time depending on where the camera is. if the camera is too far you won't see any visual change. Try taking the texture brush and painting as far to all the edges as you possibly can, you'll notice it "stops" in a striaght line. Then stop painting and nudge the camera- it will show that it did indeed paint everywhere you sprayed. It simply didn't update outside that currently used cell.

I'm finding that 'edit in game' is running very slow. To the point it took me about 7 minutes to place a couple of tables and chairs in the non-rabbithole portion of my diner. I haven't used CAW in a while, and am just getting back to creating Avian Valley, but I don't remember it being so slow before the patch.
