Editing an imported continent
Hello,
I'm trying to edit an imported map from Fractals Terrain 3 in CC3+.
What I've managed to to is import the coastline features and place them onto a sea background.
But now I want to edit the features of the coastline. There are certain areas of inland sea that I want access to the ocean. So certain areas of land need to go. I also want to add islands too. See attached file.
Any advice on how to do this?
I've tried exploding the entity but that doesn't seem to work. I dont particularly want to have to edit in FT3 as it is not as precise as I want it to be.
Thanks in advance for any pointers. :-)

Then I added a line of the proper color to the places lacking a coastline.
Done.
You'd need to "Explode" the multipoly, edit the resulting pieces and later re-multipoly it. I'd recommend to either do the changes in FT3 and do a new export, or as SkidAce suggest "fudge it" by drawing your bit of sea on the SEA sheet and moving that above the LAND and COASTLINE sheets.
I export a png file from FT3, import it into a CC3 map template, trace over it. Then delete the png file from the drawing. A number of my maps are made this way.
I suggest putting the imported file on the Screen sheet, or a bmp sheet to make it easier to work with and then delete it.
