I need help fixing my maps main land

Jsmith3012

So I started making my map this weekend, however after i had started with the environmental detail i realized i wanted to change the form of the main land. is there a way to do that without have to start over? like i only want to edit the top left corner of it. I want to split the corner off and make it into an island. Now the land i have on it is the fractured land with the black outline. any help would be greatly appreciated

Yes. Just start the landmass drawing tool as if you were going to draw a new piece of land. No, look at the command line, one of the options it offers is to hit E for Edit. Hit the E key, then pick a starting point and start drawing, ending with right mouse button, then finally pick an ending point. (Instructions written from memory, please keep an eye on the command line to make sure you do the steps in the correct order).
Basically, everything between the starting and ending point will be replaced with your new drawing. Note that this will completely remove the old part, so you then need to simply draw the island again. (As an alternative, you can play with the CUT/BREAK commands, and LTP, but editing is normally faster and easier)
