Inactive Feature - Stamping with Adaptive Base

[designleviathan]

Good morning,

I'm inquiring about why the Adaptive base feature is always greyed out for me for all our stampers regardless of whether they are set to local / global + have masks or not.

It's extremely helpful but (not hyperbole) only once I have been able to use it in our projects - it's always greyed out for me and inactive which is a little frustrating workflow wise given it's immense utility.

I've tried looking around doing a bit of personal trials to enable it again but i cannot seem to get it activated and have to fight against stamp bases when modifying terrain.

I've included a screenshot of an example stamper that cannot use the adaptive base feature at the moment.

Any help would be appreciated - thank you and have a great day!

I've tried re-reading over this article but it doesn't mention any limitations and seems to indicate the feature should be available all the time?

@designleviathan You are correct, this was not explained fully in the manual article. The base level feature is not available on all stamper operation types. I do not know the exact reason for this anymore, but I remember that this feature was not compatible with some of the operation types and / or it was more confusing than it would add value for that operation.
It should not be available for blend height / mix height / set height, but should be available for the other operations. I added this info to the manual article.
