The Flatten Terrain Tool works differently from the Raise and Lower Tools. This tool sets the height of all selected nodes to be the same height as the first node selected. When using this tool it is important to select the correct first node as otherwise it will set all nodes to the incorrect height. This tool is good for railway embankments and cuttings through the terrain, as it sets all selected nodes to the same height regardless of their previous height. If a selected node is blocked by a building, the node will not change height. It costs 8 Money Tokens [[File:token money.png|16px]] to change a single node by a height of 1. Unlike the Raise and Lower tools, flatten can raise or lower each node by more than a height of 1, hence it is possible quite often for the Flatten Tool to have height costshigher cost, especially when dealing with large height differences.
