    Hello there, i´ve found a problem, where the "Snap Landscape To Loft" tool does not work right.
    Situation: We have 2 parallel Tracks on this route, sometimes they are directly parallel and sometimes they split up for a station in the middle of the tracks.
    I want to snap terrain with 2m offset for x and y axis. If you take a look at the following picture, you will see that the offset works correctly for the right curve track, but it seems that it doesn´t do for the left curve.
    I´ve got the same problem a few km in a row - i think it is there since 1 or 2 days.

    Is anyone struggeling with the same problem?

    Best regards from Germany.

    If you go into Landscape Mode select Sculpt then flatten you can flatten any bumps. Don't forget to change tool strength and brush size

    I couldn’t make Sculpt work with any predictability at all until I discovered that using a suitably small brush and clicking on the corner of a 1metre square allowed gentle increases in height of that vertex.
    Holding shift and clicking the corner reduces the height.
    It’s not too difficult making very fine changes to the landscape, as is needed above to help track blend in nicely with the nearby track bed.

    Thank you for trying to help. But i think you didn´t get my point.

    What i mean is not the bump in the middle between both tracks. I try to show you by example pictures with lines. I think there is a offset out of our control already inside the "Snap Landscape To Loft" tool:

    It doesn´t matter if you try to create an embankment, or a cut into the landscape with this tool. The point is, that there is always one side, which ist a lot wider than the other one. Please have a look at the pictures. I tried to show it by the black lines on the trackside in the pictures.
    Do you have the same problem?

    Second point:
    X Axis and Y Axis are horizontal, Z Axis is the vertical line in UE 4 Editor. So i don´t understand the following parameters on the left side:
    If you change the parameters "X and Y" for the Loft-Offset:
    X = Horizontal
    Y = Vertical, should be Z i think?

    Maybe i´m just a little bit dump in this case, because there may be a difference betwen x,y,z in german and international versions or it´s related to the keyboard difference.
