This article describes how to resize your terrain.

Introduction

An integral part of being able to use your terrain is the ability to resize it as your level grows. In the Divinity Engine 2, we introduced vastly improved terrain resizing tools.

There are two ways to resize your terrain:

• The resize interaction mode
• The "Resize" button in the terrain panel
