You cannot translate the terrain. You can move regions.
It is. You should only use one terrain node, in every case except when you want to have more than one horizontal surface - eg floating islands. We have pages and pages of documentation that detail the API, and a demo, which allow you to procedurally generate terrain. You can generate and load in a region at a time. |

I'm not sure there is a way to move individual regions but, I am trying to find a workflow where I can iterate between different map layouts and being able to select groups of reagions and moving them in the x, z and y directions would be golden |

You can unload and load regions at any coordinates, and load different region files at any time. Read through the API. See the region mover script. You cannot translate the terrain, as already stated. |

hey @TokisanGames It is within editor, not in game. I would love to shift the entire terrain. Is it possible? |

Look for region_mover.gd in the addons/terrain_3d/tools directory. The instructions are at the top of the script |
hmmm. i thought i had the newest version. Let me update!

Make sure you are checking the main branch for updates. We're on version 1.0.1 right now. The script I linked may not work with older versions due to a change in the way data was saved. |
