Hi again Luiz. My display options are pretty much turned right up at the moment, and I don't think I've altered anything. However, the hole/flatten problem isn't so much a concern at the moment, as I've decided to stick to covering the raised dock area with a satellite picture - this covers the enti...

However, when I do this, the resizing is not reflected in...
