Okay I am confused here (a common problem when learning a new program). I've been running through the "first scene" tutorial and I've spent most of it in outer space looking down on my planet. Now, when adding water it tells me to zoom into the planet to find a spot for the lake, which I do. But I notice that there's isn't a spot for the lake because everywhere I go it's sloped as if I'm on a large hill. In short, it seems like the planet shrank, or I just can't get close enough to the surface. I must have done something in the beginning of the tutorial to the terrain to cause this, but I'll be darned if I can figure it out. It's not a huge deal, I just want to learn what I did wrong. I was playing with the zoom feature of the 3D camera, so I was thinking it might have been that...
Here's what it looks like everywhere:
