Surveying the land

[Trizzle]

If there a way to see what altitude something is at, like a body of water?

Best I can come up with is you can get your location on the map, with console command
ToggleDebugOverlay
"z=-512" is my location on the height plane

I'm using that command and there's no way that Z is in meters. I barely climb the ladder and bam, Z goes up 200. lol

1 meter seems to be exact 100, so that number is in cm I'm 512 cm or 5.12 m under the zero plane of the map.

So 10m is 1,000?

Thanks! This will help my railroad engineering tremendously. Now I can see how high 'Hog Summit' is, and figure if there's a lower path I can take.
