Hi Lukas,

It depends on on what you are trying to achieve and which Editor are you using. ObjectTerrain is old node that will be removed in 2.8 completely. *.ter files are not designed for the editing - they are storing heights value for the engine runtime.

Right now we are switching to the ObjectTerrainGlobal and with a help of Landscape tool you can import geo-specific data into the world: https://developer.unigine.com/en/docs/2.6.1/editor2/landscape_tool/

If you really want to use old ObjectTerrain than you need to convert all the geo data into the ObjectTerrain supported formats (like png / tga / psd and so on) and import files via old Landscape plugin (available only in Editor 1). Slightly more info available in the article on Portangeles workflow: https://developer.unigine.com/en/docs/2.5/content/demos/port_angeles/

Thanks!
