 ====Distant Terrain====
 If you are going to make a world that is large, you might want to consider using "Distant Terrain." It becomes increasingly difficult to add these to your world in a natural-looking way if you have already sculpted your world. If you decide that your world needs distant terrain before you start it, you can make the land on the edges of your world meet up with the distant terrain to create a nice, flowing landscape.

−	*'''Fallout''' is the softness of the brush edges in CAW. If ''fallout'' is set to 100, you will get an absolute circle with no gradual fading around it at all. If ''fallout'' is set to 0, the edge of your brush will fade with a sort of opacity into the rest of the terrain.
−	*'''Opacity''' is used in conjunction with Fallout. It is the same sort of concept but involves the ''entire'' circle rather than the edges. If ''opacity'' is set to 100, your brush will be completely visible and will not blend at all. When it is set to a lower number it becomes easier to blend and becomes semi-transparent. If you have ''opacity'' set to 0, your brush will have absolutely no effect when you click.
−	*'''Conform''' is used with the Lots section of this guide. Put simply, ''conform'' means to match/comply with laws, rules or in this case, terrain.
