Hi there,
Is it possible to recombine 2 landmasses which have been partitioned? Basically I'd like to select the two landmasses which are next to each other and combine them again.
Thanks

Re: combine partitioned landmasses
Do you want them to retain their shape but just become one landmass again? For that you should be able to use Merge->Union. Or did you want to "undo" the partition so their union is seamless?tarski wrote:Hi there,

By the way, welcome to the forums!

Thanks for the welcome
Yes this is what I would like to do. I've just tried using merge->union but with mixed results. Sometimes it works, sometimes nothing occurs and sometimes it leaves gaps in the landmassDo you want them to retain their shape but just become one landmass again?

Re: combine partitioned landmasses
Once they are partitioned it's difficult for the merge algorithm to combine along a long edge like that. You could move one of the landmasses a little bit so it partially overlaps the other and try union again, that should make it not have gaps. Also, if the gaps aren't that many, you can use the landmass tool in "Add mode" with a line pen and just add squares where the gaps are at.tarski wrote:Yes this is what I would like to do.

Alternatively, you can create another landmass and overlap it over the partition area and Union all three, that should also take care of the gap.
It could be that I'm not fully following you, if that's the case please let me know . You can email us with screenshots or map files to info@threemindssoftware.com

Re: combine partitioned landmasses
Still finding it works sometimes and not other times, depending on the partition. Could you do some more extensive testing with partitions and merges before your next release?
Re: combine partitioned landmasses
We'll definitely do more testing on that. Thanks for bringing it to our attention!
