I'm going to assume this had already been discovered years ago, but I'll write it out anyways. This can help people that do not trust StarForge, Scmdraft, Xtra or any other third party map editors.
In parenthesis will be examples/samples.
1. Pick the race you want for a specific player. (Terran)
2. Place any unit from that race. (Marine)
3. Delete all units (Delete the Marine)
4. Change the race (Zerg)
5. Press the Undo button (Ctrl+Z)
6. Place the current race's units. (Zerglings, etc.)
etc. Repeat from Step 3 to Step 6.
None.
