"Erase Terrain" would ease the transition for old users, but "No Terrain" would probably be better for understanding how the empty terrain really works in the long run. So, I vote "No Terrain" or "Empty Terrain". I also think this special terrain's name should be styled a little differently, e.g. italics (though that's not good for CJK languages) and/or square brackets. In the forum thread you also mentioned giving it a different icon. I wonder if perhaps the icon should be both a dotted outline, and an eraser mini-icon in a corner, to aid those who are expecting an eraser tool rather than a special terrain for this task. I think the first non-empty terrain should be selected by default, since usually people are looking to start adding terrains, and erasing usually comes after adding in an editing session. Somewhat related issue: Does the patterns view still only have patterns with non-empty in it? (That's how it was last I checked, don't have time right now to see if it's changed.) If erasing terrains becomes more clearly "just" a terrain, then the lack of patterns with empty becomes even weirder. |
Instead of being a separate button, the erasing mode is now part of the list of terrains. This may be more intuitive.
