# Setup and Using Nanite Displacement

{% hint style="warning" %}

## Enabling Nanite Displacement/Tessellation

Navigate to and open your "**DefaultEngine.ini**" file within your projects config folder.

Within the "**DefaultEngine.ini**" add these two lines under `[/Script/Engine.RendererSettings]`

```
r.Nanite.AllowTessellation=1
r.Nanite.Tessellation=1
```

Save the file and close.

These two parameters control the entire nanite displacement system within the landscape material.

* Magnitude: Essentially what it does is control the "Intensity" of the displacement.
* Center: This controls the center point from the heightmap 0-1 value.

## Enabling Nanite on your Landscape

Navigate to and select your landscape actor within the world outliner.

Within the details panel there will be a dropdown called "**Nanite**".

Click the "**Build Data**" button and wait for the process to complete.

Once completed you should see some nice displacement on your landscape material!

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.shadersource.io/assets-and-plugins/landscape-material-tool/how-to-use-legacy-4.26-5.3/setup-and-using-nanite-displacement.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
