# Height Map

## **Overview**

The Height Map filter allows you to apply an exisiting heightmap to your terrain. Compared to the shape layer 2d stamp heightmap import this allows you to apply the heightmap over several levelsteps, giving you more control over how the heightmap interacts with the other filters/simulations of the terrain.

## **Parameters**
