# Modify the Terrain heightmap

The example code below tells Unity to use the built-in painting Material to modify the Terrain's heightmap, and render a Brush preview in the Scene view.

```
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEditor;
using UnityEditor.TerrainTools;

class CustomTerrainTool : TerrainPaintToolWithOverlays<CustomTerrainTool>
{
    private float m_BrushOpacity = 1f;
    private float m_BrushSize = 25f;
    private float m_BrushRotation = 0f;

    // Name of the Terrain Tool. This appears in the tool UI.
    public override string GetName()
    {
        return "Examples/Custom Terrain Tool";
    }

    // Description for the Terrain Tool. This appears in the tool UI.
    public override string GetDescription()
    {
        return "This is a custom Terrain Tool that modifies the Terrain heightmap.";
    }

    // Override this function to add UI elements to the tool settings
    public override void OnToolSettingsGUI(Terrain terrain, IOnInspectorGUI editContext)
    {
        m_BrushOpacity = EditorGUILayout.Slider("Opacity", m_BrushOpacity, 0, 1);
        m_BrushSize = EditorGUILayout.Slider("Size", m_BrushSize, .001f, 100f);
        m_BrushRotation = EditorGUILayout.Slider("Rotation", m_BrushRotation, 0, 360);
    }

    // Override this function to add UI elements to the inspector UI. If the UI is the same between the Inspector
    // and Tool Settings overlay, you can call one from the other.
    public override void OnInspectorGUI(Terrain terrain, IOnInspectorGUI editContext)
    {
        OnToolSettingsGUI(terrain, editContext);
    }

    // Ease of use function for rendering modified Terrain Texture data into a PaintContext. This is used in both OnRenderBrushPreview and OnPaint.

    }
