Can't flatten terrain around ride

[nannerdw]

I use the terrain flattening tools and end up with these little sharp points every time after I've used the "flatten terrain" setting when placing a ride. Is there any way to avoid this, other than to just move the ride somewhere else temporarily to flatten the terrain?

nope you have to move it, its the ride's hit box causing problems

Yup, the bases of 1-piece rides and also paths both lock the terrain in their immediate vicinity (often in strange ways) so you can't edit the terrain right there once those things are in place. So, you should try to do all your dirt work done prior to building anything. If you need to do more after you've got the ride and/or paths in place, you'll have to rip them out to fix the terrain.

Buildings, scenery, and the supports of tracks and paths don't cause any problems. However, if you pull a hill up under a track section until the track starts to auto-tunnel a cut in the hilltop, sometimes it's hard to lower the hill again, too.
