===Why cannot i not edit the terrain height?===

:It is probably because you haven't activated the CFE cheat which is needed a lot in this section, you need to press Ctrl+Alt+C on your keyboard to open the cheat box, then type in "boolprop constrainfloorelevation false"; now you should be able to change the terrain height, just remember to turn the cheat off after you use it!

===Why is my game crashing so often?===

:You probably haven't turned the CFE cheat of, so open up the cheat window as shown above and type in "boolprop constrainfloorelevation true", this should prevent it crashing.

===Why won't the game let me add diagonal foundations?===

:Well more often than not it is just the game being annoying, no suprises there; to resolve this, place a normal square non diagonal foundation where you want the diagonal and then half the foundation using the diagonal tool to give the right diagonal shape.
