Help with Giants Editor

[OldDave]

I am new to FS 2013. I'm trying to remove trees. I've opened the Giants Editor that was included in the game files from my installation. It is version 5.0.1. When I attempt to open the file map01.i3d I get a huge list of error messages at the bottom of the window saying: "WARNING: filename is missing, replaced with Empty Transform Group.
No pictures ever opens. Can anyone tell me what I"m doing wrong? Thanks.

You'll need version 5.0.3 if you're playing with Patch 2.0
Registration is free and what not: http://gdn.giants-software.com/

OOPS, MORE PROBLEMS -- INVISIBLE TREES

So everything worked just fine. It's a bit hard to move around in the editor, but it can be done. I removed a number of trees around the main farm and a few boulders that are in the way. It looks great. HOWEVER, the first time you run into an invisible rock at full speed with a fully loaded grain trailer....well it's a good thing you cannot damage these things.
So, what did I miss? Obviously there are other layers that need to be removed besides the image. Any help would be appreciated.

When you select a tree, you'll want to select the entire thing in the "Scenegraph" list to the left.
mapleTree as example, if you click it in the editor, it'll select the "mapleTreeLODs", but you'll need to select the "mapleTree" instead, so it gets everything :-)
I'd imagine it's the same for the rocks you mentioned.

Shouldn't take that long, unless their mail server is having problems, also check your spam folder, if it mistakenly has been put there.

tried a bunch of times again. i guess i am not meant to edit my map -.-*

Anyone have the editor in another location? I've registered and they haven't sent the password in weeks. I've tried the password reset, and I get nothing. Nothing even into my junk box.

EDIT: nvm, they don't sent to hotmail accounts I guess. I got it through my own domain.
