How to align region or contour area to edge of map?

Post by soulclaw » Fri May 29, 2020 7:43 pm

I've forgotten how to do this.

I have a map with land that extends off the edge of the map. How do I align the edge of the region to the edge of the map, and can I do that with the new elevation areas?

thanks

The easiest way is enabling "snap to edge" and adding points close to the edge of the map. If you move the item (i.e. the new elevation regions) more into the map, you'll see they got created with line segments along the edge. So, you can also do it the other way. Draw an item and them move it partially outside the canvas.

Let us know if that helps!

I need to block the top 20% or so of the map with impassable cliffs, edge to edge across the top.
