# Terrain / Set Size

Set the world-space size of a `Terrain`'s `TerrainData`.

## Inputs

- `gameObjectRef` — the GameObject hosting the `Terrain` (required).
- `width` — optional new width in world units (X). When omitted, the current width is kept.
- `height` — optional new height in world units (Y). When omitted, the current height is kept.
- `length` — optional new length in world units (Z). When omitted, the current length is kept.

## Behavior

Assigns `TerrainData.size` from the provided components (falling back to the current value for any omitted axis). Marks the asset + scene dirty and repaints. Runs on the Unity main thread.

## How to Call

```bash
unity-mcp-cli run-tool terrain-set-size --input '{
  "gameObjectRef": "string_value",
  "width": "string_value",
  "height": "string_value",
  "length": "string_value"
}'
```

> For complex input (multi-line strings, code), save the JSON to a file and use:
> ```bash
> unity-mcp-cli run-tool terrain-set-size --input-file args.json
> ```
>
> Or pipe via stdin (recommended):
> ```bash
> unity-mcp-cli run-tool terrain-set-size --input-file - <<'EOF'
> {"param": "value"}
> EOF
> ```


### Troubleshooting

If `unity-mcp-cli` is not found, either install it globally (`npm install -g unity-mcp-cli`) or use `npx unity-mcp-cli` instead.
Read the /unity-initial-setup skill for detailed installation instructions.

## Input

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|------|------|----------|-------------|
| `gameObjectRef` | `any` | Yes | Reference to the GameObject containing the Terrain component. |
| `width` | `any` | No | Optional new terrain width in world units (X axis). |
| `height` | `any` | No | Optional new terrain height in world units (Y axis). |
| `length` | `any` | No | Optional new terrain length in world units (Z axis). |
