Go into the item attributes for it and click on ABSOLUTE HEIGHT. Take note of the number - Write it down! Now then, place your other objects as you wish and if they fall on higher ground, don't worry about it till you are done. Once you complete, highlight all of the objects you wish to adjust, and then in the item attributes box, click ABSOLUTE HEIGHT, then place that number you wrote down, then unselect all. What happened is that all of the pieces you had highlighted are now set to the same level. When you enter the map, you will see that some of your objects have sunken into the raised areas and will be still even with the other items through out. This works for tunnel sections also, the only difference is that you have to subtract 5 or 8 from that number in order to equal your stairs or ramp doing down from the entrance. If you are unsure of the height of the stairs, there's 2 types: one with only 2 landings - this one goes down 5 meters, and one with 3 landings, this one goes down 8 meters. Also, the 2 landing stairs, when you get to the bottom, your direction will be 180 degrees from the direction you started with at the top, where as with the 3 landing stairs, you'll be going the same direction at the bottom as the top. Also, look closely as you place some tunnel parts in the map, they may have a - 8 right there in the piece, this tells you that this item must be placed at - 8 meters below the ground.
