You can change the actual height by pressing PgUp and PgDown. (In range between minimum and maximum scale)
The placement height can be changed with CTRL+PgUp/PgDown

i tried but nothing happens


Edit:
Found it! thanks
and a second small question... when i want to select the style of my objects (the model) they all are shown very dark how can i change that?

It's probably the Light you gave them. When the model appears there are some buttons on that preview. You might see "Lighting: Midnight". Change it to "Noon".

 

[frozenbrain]

nope thats not it tryed

 

[Pharaoh_]

What do you mean by dark? Provide us with some screenshot. Do you have fog on? Try pressing F to turn it off.

 

[frozenbrain]

Ah i found it i just had light on

but thanks for the help!

Hold Ctrl, and press the left mouse buttom to where you want it, or duble click on the object and set rotation to anything.

 

[ikillforeyou]

he means roll, no, you can't do that, only with dummy units.

 

[frozenbrain]

yeah i want to roll it... how can i roll it with dummy units? could you explain

 

[ikillforeyou]

Make a unit, give it locust, and set "minimum pitch roll angle" to your angle, and it will face it.

 

[N1ghthawk]

You can do this with doodads if I'm interpreting what u want correctly. It's an option in the atts of the doodad in object editor


EDIT - it's called "maximum pitch angle (degrees)", approx. -3.5 should make it upside down

DoodadPitch

 

[frozenbrain]

yeah thats what i looked for thank you @nighthawk and at you too @ikilforeyou

Edit:I cant make it to -3.5...

 

[ikillforeyou]

shift + click the value

For the height of the doodads, they don't alter.

When I go to doodads and press Summer Tree Wall,
I press PageUp and nothing happens.

 

[M0RT]

Dude, this thread is like a month old.

And you are supposed to press PgUp in terrain editor, while having the doodad placed and selected, as you change height/size for that specific doodad, not for all of them.

 

[Serodyn]

Sorry for reviving it.

The tree is placed, terrain editor is on, and I am in the doodad palette. I've clicked the tree and I have pressed PageUp.

Nothing happens.

 

[ikillforeyou]

It's CTRL + Page up.

 

[Serodyn]

Ctrl + Page Up doesn't make it taller in height. Ctrl + Page makes it levitate in the air.

;/

 

[N1ghthawk]

To make it taller you just double click on it or click on it and hit return and edit it's z-axis.

The reason the page up/page down thing isn't working for you is b/c your using a summer tree wall. You can't edit the height of trees as they only scale when all values are increased. Just double click it or hit return and edit its x-axis and it will automatically apply it to all axis.

Sorry for reviving it.
