How to create holes in your fill sheet?

Nod

I really like the Myrr map style so, I purchased the Annual that contains the style pack based on it. However, the mapping guide that came with it didn't explain how you make holes in my ocean entity like was done in the area I've circled in red below. In order to use the filters properly in this map, if you wish to have any islands, you will need to do this

I can't seem to find a way to do this in CC3. I've tried a couple things like blowing up the shape and trying to "Line to Path" it back together but that doesn't work.

If anyone could point me in the right direction, I'd be grateful.

Thanks for your time in advance,
Nod

I figured it out. Once the lines are "Exploded" You can then group both the inner and outer lines via the "MultiPoly" Tool. This will allow you to fill the new combine shape to make and it will not fill the inner cut out's.
