Hello all!

I am still familiarizing myself with the use of the CC3 and its add ons. There is one question that I have, which is probably uber simple, but I am not sure how to address it.

When starting a new map, how do you decide the size of the map? ie 500' x 500 or some such? Do you need to know the scale of your map beforehand, and then figure out the dimensions? Specifically I am trying to create a city map for a friend, who sketched it out already on graph paper. Gives me a chance to play and learn the program with a purpose.

Also, its a beach front town, how do I put the beach in there?

Thanks for all your help!
