Raise Height of Doodads

[Footman16]

I own a mac and I know how to raise the height of doodads, it is the page up key, unfortunately my mac doesn't have a page up key and fn + up arrow only makes the doodad taller. I tried control +fn + up to no avail. Any solutions would be appreciated.

You can try to change hotkeys in Data --> Configure Control.

Nope, there is no option which says set - vertically or whatever, there's only options to change the hotkeys to increase Z etc.

Get external keyboard?

That's not very cost effective for doing one specific thing.

Edit:
Wait, in configures, there's "Selection - Decrease Z" and "Increase Z", so there are keys for that.

That increases the physical height of the doodad not the actual flying height.

I don't follow x,x

It makes the doodad itself taller not higher.

Did you even check that?
I just tested this and what I wrote was correct.

In Configure Controls menu, Terrain Editor tab:
Selection - Scale Up Z => set to key PgUp
Selection - Scale Down Z => set to key PgDown

tested in editor, and it does change the Z height of a doodad (it scales the doodad)
I guess this is what you thought I posted.


However what I wrote about is this:
Selection - Decrease Z => set to key CTRL + PgDown
Selection - Increase Z => set to ke CTRL + PgUp

Tested this and it does in fact raise/lower the doodad on Z axis (does not scale it)

Ok right, I'm not on my computer anymore but you're correct in that I misread what you wrote. I'll try and check it later on.

Edit: Solved!
