This isn't exactly an answer to your question, but perhaps it's interesting for some people: there's a very nice terrain editor called Leveller at http://www.daylongraphics.com/ . There's source for a terrain loader and other stuff, and you can write your own plugins for it.
There's a demo version available, if I remember correctly.

I plan to use Leveller for my terrain editing. I can't really compare it to v12's built-in editor, because I haven't used that yet.

[Disclaimer: I don't work for them or know them personally. I'm just a happy customer! ;-) ]

Yeah, I have played with leveller. I noticed in one of the other threads people were using other proggies to create terrain. I just wasn't sure if there were actually importing models or creating the BMP from those models.

My GUESS is they are doing the BMP, but I wasn't sure if I had missed some magic DXF import function or translation thru MAX or what not :)
