Unit Selection Circle Obscured by Flat Doodads

[TimeForAChange]

I'm messing around with placing images on the terrain by using custom destructables. I'm having this problem now where I can't lower it any further without it disappearing but it is still too high for a player to see the unit selection circle or the lower parts of the unit's model.

I know this isn't normal because there are plenty of built in doodads like the Black Citadel runes that the units walk over entirely.

How can I get a finer control of the height, or is there some other way of pushing a doodad/destructable flat to the ground?

This might work with a flat rectangle model (or really any shape you want) that is used in the WE as a walkable terrain/cliff doodad.
These doodads are affected by the ground height accordingly, exactly like cliffs do.
Therefore, having a flat rectangle should get you the texture flat on the ground.

Do note that these doodads are also much more constrained - once you place them, they cannot be changed in any way other than being deleted.
I have no idea how they work as far as creating them in-game. My guess is that they will be normal doodads unaffected by the terrain (and thus be the same as what you are already doing).

That doesn't sound necessary because some doodads like my example of the Black Citadel runes can be adjusted and rotated any way you like after placing and they are very close to the ground at any terrain height.

I seem to have mistaken you wanting to put the image on a non-flat terrain.
Walkable doodads cause the selection circles of units to actually hover a bit higher, does it work in this case?
You can always just lower the geoset.

Setting the material mode to "blend" might help too. Also I am not sure walkable DOODADS work, but walkable DESTRUCTABLES certainly do.
