Hi,
I have 2 small landmasses within an existing landmass that i actually want as water - how do you delete these from the existing landmass. They are saved as part of that layer and i cant seem to remove them or delete all the points within.
Cheers,
Smithy

You can not directly. You would have to move the control points until the entirety of the small landmass overlaps the main landmass then do
merge->union.
It was an UI oversight not to have that option. We'll add a way to remove subpaths with beta 3.
Thank you!

Thanks i will try that.
Re: How do i - remove landmass within a landmass
It didn't work. The option to merge/union is greyed out when i go to it?

It's a hack just for Beta 2 while we add the ability to remove sub paths....but add a new simple landmass and put it on top of that landmass so that it overlaps 100%, then merge option will be available and the result will combine the subpath you moved to overlap and this new "dummy" landmass.
Thanks!
