I think he means he wants the ability to create caves and such.

The only way you can "Cut holes" in the terrain is to use the excavate tool. What you have to understand is that the terrain in Torque isn't really 3D. It's a 2D plane with height parameters. This is why you're limited to only manipulating on a verticle plane.

If you want to make caves, you'll have to do so with models and import them into the engine.
