Oh I see.

The polygon on the WALLS sheet will have to be scaled using SCA.

The reason resize is set up the way it is, is because it's intended as a way to adjust the drawing area available for you to draw on - like extending the flaps of an extending table to spread the things on the table out a bit more. It's not actually a scaling tool for the contents of the map.

The template has a Color Key sheet effect on the WATER sheet, so if you draw an ocean that covers the map, and then move your land shape to the WATER sheet and use Change Properties to change the fill of that land to Solid and colour 6 (magenta), the land shape will cut a hole through the water to your land.

I drew one here for you, using the Sea, Island drawing tool (which does the same thing)

Then hit refresh (CTRL+R) to see the result.

Ralf's demonstration of the style may help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tE6L4_KjBc8

In this week's Live Mapping, and inspired by last week's Birdseye Continental style, Ralf will be tackling another texture-based style with Satellite Overland from Cosmographer 3.

Looks better now the grass is more blended :)

I'm wondering if it would be better to have wider edge fade inner effects on a map of this scale - to blend the biomes into each other.
