combining separately drawn entities

AKABigBlack

my question is how can i combine the passage to the lower level with the rest of the cave system so no seam appears between the two? the entire cave system was drawn at one time, no breaks, and the passage to the lower level was an afterthought. using Jon Roberts dungeon style.....

You'll need to explode the cave shape, erase the line that separates the previously made cave shape and your new passage, and then reform the whole thing with multipoly.

For such a rather small and easy modification of the original shape, I recommend using the E-Edit function of the drawing tool.

Just start the cave drawing tool again, hit E for edit, click the first node where the your passage intersects the original floor, draw along the passage until you are close to the opposite intersection, then right-click to finish the edit.

Afterwards delete the old extra entity.
