### Settings
- **Sea Level:** Set the height for sea level. For coastal areas, this is usually 0. For mountainous regions, use the minimum height of the area.
- **Height Scale:** Cities: Skylines supports heights up to 1024 meters. At 100%, the map is transferred 1:1. Increasing the scale accentuates mountains.
- **Below Sea Level:** Set the depth before hitting the absolute minimum. Useful for creating lakes or canals at sea level.
- **Rise Only Land:** Keeps sea level at 0 meters while raising the land. Useful for creating elevated land or lakes not adjacent to the ocean.

### Settings Examples
1. **Mountainous Area (e.g., Alps)**
   - Minimum height: 200 meters
   - Maximum height: 2200 meters
   - Auto settings: Sea level = 200m, Height scale = 50%, Below sea level = 5m, All land raised.
   - Custom: Only land rise, Below sea level = 10m. In the map editor, setting sea level to 9m gives a 1m shoreline rise.

2. **Coastal City (e.g., San Francisco)**
   - Minimum height: 0 meters
   - Maximum height: 350 meters
   - Auto settings: Sea level = 0m, Height scale = 300%, Below sea level = 20m, Only land raised.

## Frequently Asked Questions
**Q:** When downloading the map, Chrome says `heightmap.raw is not commonly downloaded and may be dangerous`.
