Some explanation required

Could you explain in detail what the terrain masks are and what they are supposed to so?
I assumed if they are dark, nothing can be populated on anything.
I turned off what I assume is water (right), but I can drop buildings in the water.
I now find the wavy line is not water, but the hump to the left is water.
I turned off all three and can still drop houses into the scene.

Everything off, the terrain cannot receive anything. See P.S.


Everything on. nothing is sacred.

P.S. The terrain mask works for everything except the objects in the house group.

These 3 toggles represent Land Rock and Water.

If only Land is active, then it wont paint on rocks or the water. great for painting plants that you dont want to accidentally place in the water or on top of rock.

If only Rock is active, It wont paint on land or the water, so you can paint ferns on top of rocks for example.

It is more about what each symbol means.
If I select only water (right?) I cannot add fish, but if I select bump (left) and waves(right) I can add fish.
If the half circle (middle)  and waves (right) I can add things to the water.
What are the permutations of the three symbols.

Maybe a video will help to understand the use cases.

It basically allows you to choose where things get painted. In the example above, i only want flowers on the land and ferns on the rocks

I know what they are supposed to do, I just do not really know what icon represents what function.

Plus, just selecting water does not let me  drop things into the water. I must also select one of the other icons.,
Assuming water is the right side icon.
