-'''Important note:''' Terrain model UV coordinates are expected to be inside the 0-1 UV range. If they are not, you may find that your terrain flickers or stretches when compiled into the map. If you are experiencing these problems, try a simple Planar Map from above, to project UV coordinates down onto your terrain mesh.

 It is not possible to assign materials to terrain meshes in EditWorld, you must do this process in your modelling application.
