Can Anyone link me how to move the silly spawn global... I have not yet been able to figure out how to move the dern thing.

How about a link in terrain painting? TGE.. I was on it.. T3D.. I am scratching my head.

How to get a model into a T3D world? Link or Youtube vid would be cool...

I have spent some time building a terrain in L3DT (Awesomeness)and I would like to "touch up" the terrain.

Confused...the global spawnpoint or a global variable?

Check out the T3D Documentation Landing Page. I added a few links to the written docs and some video tutorials created by the amazing Lara Engebretson that cover adding objects.

I love L3DT. It's my top choice for terrain heightmap creation. The export to T3D option is extremely useful and it works well with the rest of the T3D World Editor tools. Good choice =)

With the editor set to Object editor, go to the right side window.
You will see the Scene tab.
Expand the listing and find the Green icon that should be named SpawnSphere. Select this.
If you don't see it selected in the view, then switch cameras.
You can Alt-C to switch camera view, and then cntrl-Q to jump to the selected object.
You may have to zoom out a little to see it.
It should appear as a large green sphere.
Now you can move it to where you want your player to spawn.
You can also have multiple spawn spheres for multiple spawn locations.

Cliff, follow the tutorials under the doc section. It's easy to follow, and you'll have a big smile on your face by the end of it. May even learn more then what you were looking for. ^_^
