Would it be possible to show the slope in the x direction and the slope in the z direction rather than a general slope. It would help in the placement of models that need to sit on a hillside ie... a sled or cart. While the slope information is helpful, knowing the amount that the terrain is sloping in both the x and z directions independently would help in the accurate placement of models.
Here is an image of what I was thinking about.
I agree....object placement is terrible in TG2 right now....
See above for screenshot. :)

Probably Photoshop.
Would a sit on terrain option for single objects negate the need for this information or would it still be needed? I only ask because I seem to remember someone saying that in future they hope to add a sit on terrain option for single objects.

dhavalmistry: Yes it was done with Gimp 2.0
reck: I remember that thread but didn't come away with the feeling that it was going to happen soon. So I figured that this would be a simple interim solution.
