This has been annoying since years and I was unable to find a way to solve it. For a reason I have at least 1 map where I use pathing to allow placing and playing in an area with Lower Cliff, it is for an underground base. I also use Level 2 Cliff as surface to make the underground look even deeper. In that way the Selection and Target are appearing way above (I dont remember playing with the Modify Height Field much or if that is the reason). In fact, you cannot even target anything, pick items, use abilities as you always get 'must target unit'. Funny enough - even order unit triggers may not get the target well or at all (such as picking up an item). Is there a way in Advanced or whichever data that can make selection and target plane lower? At least in the editor it looks to me you can select from above just fine.
I need to fix this now but maybe in the future will use the normal Cliff level and lower ground with the brush for any other place underground - Height Brush doesnt cause these problems of not able to select or target. Still, curious if there is a way with Lowered Cliff and the bad selection.
They want to be able to target ground units and stuff even if they're on the lowest cliff level. Messing with the terrain height usually prevents players from being able to target things on the ground like minerals and such. This is the same problem
That's fine, it doesn't need help anymore and I dont think there is a way. I was once told to not use but I was used to having -1 cliff and using that space as playable. I will use the height brush from now on.

I don't understand you're question entirely but I also don't know target playnes either. Ilol see if I can help you later today when I get time.
