Dry land on sea level... how to fix?

[IronForge]

A picture speaks a thousand words. I'm getting this problem. Plateuing, lowering terrain and anything short of directly applying low water level to it just doesn't work. The map was created submerged.

Any help appreciated.

Check picture!
You must be careful with that option turned on!
If you are inexperienced terrainier, I recommend to turn off that option!

Example on picture!
1st - Rise terrain with cliff tool!
2nd - Place deep water on raised terrain and normal one at same time

Sorry I don't really understand, can you describe both in a little more detail? To fix my problem, what should I use? I want a uniform water level across the map (sea level), and if possible, a second water level for above sea level ponds and stuff to make waterfalls and so on.

If you check that option (Enforce Water Height Limits) you will be able to create stuff like me on that picture, however it can be problematic even for us experienced terrainers, you must be careful with that thing!

With that option turned on, you will be able to create water on some height (without terrain below or above)

Create new map and try to terrain with that and without that!

You will see differences!

IronForge; Well, copy a piece of water where it isn't ruined, and paste it upon the ruined one.
That's the way to solve it, also, remember to make the copy area enough big to occupy the whole ruined area in 1 click, else it might keep ruining the terrain.
