a flat track?

In gp3 trackeditor you could easily make a track flat again....is this tool also available in gp4builder?

Yep. Click Modify Sectors after you highlighted a sector, hit 0 and the last sector of the circuit in the range and set Altitude to 0 for both the First and the Last sectors.

Set Banking to 0 as well to make the track absolutely flat.

EDIT: 'Expert' trick - set altitude to -0.01 or -0.02 when you want to work with an inserted Google Maps image (or any satellite image) as a base for a layout. That way, you'll directly see what's underneath each sector you create without the need to F10 your way in and out while also being able to see the frames of your .dat layout in Orthographic view.

Expert trick 2 : if you set all the track sector altitude to 0, you can also move down your Google map mesh down by 1 or 2 cm to make sectors visible on top of it

Yeah. And there's also another way to flatten out the tracks as well. The flexibilities of GP4 Builder...
