When I create a patch and then select the little blue vertices and try to adjust the height of the terrain, etc, (make hills) the little bullseye lifts the entire patch and not just where the bullseye is. Help would be appreciated.

Press V for the vertices, click on vertices to select them by column, click it again to change direction of column.

Once is the X axis.

Twice is the y axis.

Ctrl shift A = add a column

Ctrl shift Q = delete a column

Ctrl shift x = clip column

Silly!!! but are you holding down the "alt" key at the same time????

If you are hitting "Y" and bringing up the advanced editting options then you may have your inner and outer radius set to high or to big.

If this is the case then simply lower the two values and that will shrink down your work area to less vertices being manipulated at the same time. This gives more control. Otherwise remember to hold down ALT key will trying to move vertices as has been suggested above.

Couple things:

* Don't be in vertices mode when you try and use the terrain editing box. It won't work. IOW if you see a bunch of pink squares, hit v to get rid of them before messing with the terrain editor.

* Hit ALT while left-clicking or right clicking with paint height selected to adjust terrain with the terrain editor; this is why your terrain is moving around. (Duh!)

* Adjust amplitude to play around with how abrupt or gradual the changes are

* Use smooth to make your edited terrain not so jagged
