Hello,

I've been searching the net up and down, and the 3D Studio Max help documents, and have been unable to find a solution to what I'm attempting to do.

I'm creating a "large" mass of terrain using height mapping through the displace modifier, and blend textures based on height as well. I want to split this terrain up into a "grid" of seperate objects, however I have not found any tools that allow me to do multiple splits/cuts/detachments all at once. It will take me far too long to select each individual section and detach it to a seperate object one by one, especially considering I will want to make changes to the terrain later down the road after I've "walked around" the terrain in game and would rather make these changes to the undivided copy of the mesh, then reapply the grid divide again after I'm done and import the objects back into my map format for the game.

If I absolutely have to, I suppose I will write an editor for my game that takes the giant map and splits it up for me... but if there's an easy 3DMax built in way, or script already out there, that does this it would be saving me a lot of time.

Maybe there's a better way to go about creating the terrain that someone has encountered before as well, and I'm just looking at this the wrong way. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.
